A cross between Bill Clinton and Larry the Cable Guy, Hayzlett’s entertaining and informative presentation challenged the audience’s perception of Kodak as a corporate remnant of the analog age.

You thought they were just hiding out waiting for this digital thing to blow over

Setting the tone was this corporate video, “Winds of Change,” which starts with a self-deprecating look at Kodak and reveals some fascinating insights into the transformation Kodak has undertaken – where half of the 19 top products, which account for 80% of their current revenue, didn’t exist just two years ago!

DEMO.com :: DEMO 09 Conference http://blog.colwin.com/index.php/2009/03/08/democom-demo-09-conference/ http://blog.colwin.com/index.php/2009/03/08/democom-demo-09-conference/#comments Sun, 08 Mar 2009 10:59:09 +0000 admin http://bcolwin.wordpress.com/?p=54 demo-screenshot

DEMO 09 wrapped up this past week, and in case you missed it you can watch videos of all the presenting companies on the conference website.

If you’re not familiar with DEMO, the conference is a showcase of emerging technologies and new products that (according to the producers) “prides itself on a reputation for consistently identifying technologies that will disrupt current markets and change how people use digital technologies.”

Unfortunately, the first presentation I saw this year was from a company called Coveroo, Inc., which makes personalized back covers for mobile phones and MP3 players.  So that can quickly dispell DEMO’s claim to innovation.

Judge for yourself and please feel free to share your comments below.

This year’s presenters included:
