As a result, EffectiveUI will demonstrate its latest user experience innovations at CSIA’s DEMOgala 2008 on Thursday, October 2, 2008, in downtown Denver.
“One of the companies we are most honored to show off is EffectiveUI because of its cutting-edge technology and innovative approaches throughout its business,” said Su Hawk, president, CSIA. “This company is one of the few ever chosen twice (EffectiveUI was also chosen for the 2007 Showcase) in the history of DEMOgala, and it was because of the consistent growth of innovation, and the ever-present smart thinking throughout their company,” she said.
The fourth-annual CSIA DEMOgala includes speakers and thought leaders from across the nation in a series of 25 panel discussions centered around disruptive and cutting-edge technology and what it means to our lives, business, health and futures. In addition, there will be an evening panel discussion titled, “How Do the Web’s Billion-Dollar Behemoths View Disruption?” The panel speakers include Max Mancini, Sr. Director of Disruptive Innovation, eBay; R.J. Pitman, Director of Disruptive Innovation, Google; Scott Johnson, Director of Emerging Business, Microsoft; and Alan Warms, GM, Yahoo! News.
Jon Nordmark, Co-Founder and Board Chair of Denver’s eBags, and this year’s DEMOgala Event Chair, stated “All of the nominees provide extraordinary services, and it was difficult to select only 20 winners. Colorado is a hot-bed for groundbreaking technology, and we’ve captured the attention of the industry’s top technology leaders. The DEMOgala provides a unique opportunity for local professionals to mix and mingle with the ‘who’s who’ in tech.”
