Demo 08 was held last month in Palm Desert, CA.

DEMO was there when the seeds of Web 2.0 were planted in a platform called .NET, exploring some of the first Web services before we even had buzz words to describe them. We have stayed true to our mission: to find great innovation wherever it occurs, identify market trends through the lens of the products coming to market, and expose you to new ideas and opportunities.

The pool of talent was so deep this year we expanded the show. Our 77 demonstrating companies foretold the next generation of real-time, rich applications and use cases, dependent on keystone technologies and conceptual changes in every layer of the stack, from foundational protocols that deliver performance and reliability to design shifts that bring usability to new levels.
