The three-day event, one of the most important among the tech conferences in its 20^th edition, is widely considered the launch pad for emerging technology.

The three-day conference centers on the Demonstration sessions, where technology companies of all stages demonstrate their latest products to a packed ballroom of the tech world’s most important players, from investors to journalists.

Two DEMO launchers will win the DEMO Million Dollar Media Prize.

Picked by a panel of judges, winners will be announced during the awards ceremony on Wednesday afternoon, September 23 2009 at 3:00 pm PST.

New to this edition of the DEMO conference is the AlphaPitch event, scheduled to open up each demonstration sessions.
