DEMOfall 56 Presenters Revealed

September 19, 2009

No doubt DEMOfall 2009 will be a much smaller event, which explains why the conference actually ends early, in the afternoon of the second day. A disappointment, for those – like me! – that got used to DEMO’s farewell dinner when the final DEMOgods awards are being distributed.
