VCCircle is pleased to announce its partnership with DEMO, the world’s leading launch platform for emerging technology products, in India. The first ever DEMO India, to be produced by VCCircle, will be held in Bangalore on March 20-21, 2013.
Owned by IDG Enterprise, DEMO is the world's leading launchpad for innovative technology products and trends, and is attended by some of the world's top tech startups, investors and professionals. DEMO India is the latest addition to its portfolio of events, which also includes DEMO Spring and DEMO Fall in the US, DEMO China, DEMO Brazil, DEMO Asia (Singapore) and DEMO Africa.
At each DEMO event, a hand-picked class of new products are introduced to the global media, proliï¬c bloggers, investors, corporate acquirers, strategic partners and buyers.
The DEMO conferences have been launchpad events for companies such as Palm, E*Trade, Salesforce, Webex, Tivo ,VMware and Fusion-io, and thousand others, helping them to secure venture funding, establish critical business relationships and influence early adopters.
Over the past ï¬ve years, DEMO companies have raised well over $4.5 billion, all in a few months/years following their debut at DEMO. Also, more than 50 companies have been acquired by tech giants, such as Adobe, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Symantec, Viacom, Yahoo and more.
Conference format
Each selected company is given six minutes on the DEMO stage to demonstrate how its product/s will change the world or the market where it operates. However, no PowerPoint or flashy corporate presentations are allowed. Only the founders and the technologies are talked about on which many are staking their careers. Understandably, it can’t get more straightforward and fast-paced than that.
DEMO Pavilion
While the DEMO stage is the place to witness each technology as it is unveiled, the DEMO Pavilion is where the real action is. It is a perfect environment to network, research, form meaningful and strategic relationships, and even close some deals. Here investors and potential partners can get a close-up look at the latest trend-setting technologies. In other words, it is not just a place for more face time, but for more eyes-on-the-product time.
Networking events
Opportunities abound to connect and interact with the DEMO audience on a more informal level throughout the show. Each DEMO is packed with networking events to help facilitate audience interactivity including cocktail receptions, private dinners for demonstrators and dealmakers, and other networking activities.
Also, no demonstrator can dominate the conference with marketing collateral, signage, whiz-bang graphics and alluring giveaways. The professionally managed and ergonomic Demonstrator Pavilion is a level playing ï¬eld and everyone has the same visibility while attention is laser-focused on the products alone.
Throughout its 22 years of existence, DEMO has earned a reputation for consistently identifying new innovations which are most likely to disrupt the markets they serve and/or change the way we use technology overall. DEMO will take your product from concept to customer!
As part of the event series’ Global Launch Program, each company launching at Demo India can participate as a showcase sponsor for all Demo events at no additional charge.
