Industry Leading Entrepreneurs, Investors and Journalists Debate the Tech Industry's Future at DEMOfall 08

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., Aug. 29 -- DEMOfall 08 looks to be the biggest fall DEMO ever, with 72 companies launching their products on stage. To spice things up DEMOfall 08 will host three roundtables of industry thought leaders as they debate critical issues for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and big business. Demonstrating companies will be announced Friday, September 5th. To register to attend visit http://www.demo.com/

"When we were deciding on program elements for DEMOfall 08 we really wanted to take it up a level and get the pundits really discussing topics that were truly relevant to the audience," said Chris Shipley, product analyst and executive producer of the DEMO conferences. "We also wanted to give everyone a chance to see their favorite journalists go head-to-head, and maybe have an argument or two, as they discuss their opinions and where the future of tech is going. Most importantly, we wanted them to be fun and I think we have achieved our goals!"

DEMOfall 08 will host three roundtables including:

Walt and Kara Head to Head: See All Things D editors Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher interview each other as they debate the future of technology and who's right and who's wrong.

The Changing Venture Model: Moderated by Matt Marshall, Editor & CEO of VentureBeat, see the venture capitalists Chris Greendale, General Partner, Kodiak Venture Partners; Krishna 'Kittu' Kolluri, General Partner, New Enterprise Associates and Eric Tilenius, Partner, Maveron discuss the current VC model and debate whether the time for change has come.

Where the Web is Going: Moderated by Nova Spivak, Founder & CEO of Radar Networks, hear author Howard Bloom; Ross Levinsohn; Partner at Velocity Interactive Group; Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google; Prabhakar Raghavan, PhD, Head of Yahoo! Research and Yahoo! Search Strategy and Jon Udell, Evangelist, Microsoft give their predictions for the next Internet revolution.

DEMO Jam Session: Not a panel at all but a chance to shake a leg. The DEMO Jam Session featuring the Replithentics continues to groove as attendees are invited to bring their instruments, join the band, and dance off some pre and post launch jitters.
