DEMOfall is now officially documented in the history books, but hardly forgotten. Chris Shipley and company orchestrated one of the largest, most polished DEMO conferences to date, leaving my head spinning from the experience – in a good way!

The blog and press coverage surrounding DEMO is deeper and more comprehensive than I have time to attempt to best, so instead, I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

It’s tech conference season, and over the last two week, we kicked them off Office 2.0, TechCrunch50, and DEMOfall. I arrived in San Diego this last Sunday to one of the largest DEMO conferences I’ve ever attended. While there’s been more conference drama than I care to reflect upon, it seems to have only bolstered all parties, their press, and attendance.

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story:
