In 1991, Stewart Alsop changed the technology conference circuit by instituting a new event with new rules: DEMO would be about the products; would require timed, live demonstrations; and would not allow PowerPoint presentations! These rules still stand and, in recognition of the difficulty of communicating the power and value of emerging technologies on stage in a short 360 seconds, DEMO producers honor outstanding presentations by selecting DEMOgods. Chosen for their style, passion, clarity, and sometimes for their sheer outlandishness, these DEMOgods have a unique ability to deliver a great product and position it in the market, to show off it's most compelling features, differentiate it from other products - and along the way entertain a tough and critical DEMO audience with a few good tricks.
