There’s something to be said for jumping when everybody else is ducking.  Assuming that the sky is not actually falling (which I have it on good authority it is not), times of economic downturn can be a great time to start a new business.  And that’s exactly the spirit of BizTechDay, a one-day conference in San Francisco this Saturday that promises to empower small business owners and entrepreneurs with the secrets of the Internet.  An impressive assortment of notable achievers from various walks of online business has been amassed to answer such timely questions as: How to Collect Money Online Using PayPal, Google Checkout & Amazon Payment;  How to use Linkedin, Facebook and Yelp to Create Your Web Presence; How to Create Your Own Social Network; How to Promote Your Event & Get Hundreds of People; and How to make something go viral.  Posterboy for the 4-hour work week and online labor arbitrageur, Tim Ferriss is keynoting.  Register.

    The producers of the DEMO conferences are already screening products and selecting the most significant to launch at DEMO 09, which will take place March 1-3, 2009 in Palm Desert, California.  Products debuting at DEMO conferences represent every market segment — everything from more efficient air conditioner technology; to a smart phone application that helps dieters count calories; to a thin, flexible and lightweight electronic reader device.

    DEMO takes a global view of the tech industry and features technologies from around the world. Attendees never know exactly what they are going to see at DEMO, but they attend knowing that the debuting products have been carefully vetted for industry-impact. Known for encouraging business acceleration, DEMO attracts companies ready to jump into the next phase of company growth: acquiring customers and partners, garnering international press coverage, and obtaining funding. DEMO conferences showcase innovations from new and established companies with working technologies for measurable market spaces. It’s the event series that launched technologies such as VMware, the Palm Pilot, Java 1.0, TiVo, IronPort Systems, WebEx, Half.com, salesforce.com, Ugobe’s Pleo, Six Apart’s Moveable Type and many more.

    Executive Producer Chris Shipley and analyst Carla Thompson are busy screening product prototypes and considering them for DEMO 09. In this process, they ask, “Is it a standout product? Does it represent an industry first or the best of a category? Will it drive further progress in technology?” To be considered for DEMO, a product must:

    • Make its public debut at the DEMO conference
    • Make a significant contribution to the state of the art in its target market
    • Change the dynamics of the marketplace into which it is introduced
    • Be backed by a management team capable of delivering the product to market

    Submit your application for DEMO 09 (The deadline for applications is December 1, 2008).  Register.
