DEMOfall 09: Your guide to VentureBeat’s coverage

We’re kicking off DEMOfall 09 today in San Diego, where 56 tech companies will launch new products, and another 14 will give sneak peeks of the products that they’re working on.
This is probably hasn’t escaped your notice, since VentureBeat’s front page is plastered with our stories about launching companies. Dean Takahashi, Kim-Mai Cutler, and I have each written in-depth posts about some of the launches, and we’re going to be covering many more over the next two days of the conference (which is co-produced by VentureBeat).
If this all seems overwhelming, don’t worry. Just come back to this post, where you’ll find links to all of our DEMO coverage. In the list below, you’ll see all of the launching and pitching DEMO companies. If there’s a link to a “full profile,” one of us has written a normal post about the company. If it’s a link to a “limited profile,” it’s just bare bones information that we’ve pulled from the company’s press materials — the post is a placeholder, which we plan to update with more information once the company presents on-stage.
Meanwhile, we’ll continue publishing our main DEMO coverage on VentureBeat’s front page. You can also find all our DEMO posts, including some of the shorter company profiles, in the new section of our site, DEMOBeat. As the name implies, DEMOBeat will be our section for coverage of the DEMO conference, as well as additional updates from the DEMO community throughout the year.
