Close to the end of the morning sessions, the name of TechCrunch, the anti-DEMO tradeshow, was finally out! Hopefully for the last time quipped DEMO producer Chris Shipley.

It's a little know secret that the TechCrunch50 conference, which also starts today through Wednesday and DEMO are in a battle to attract start-ups: TechCrunch does not charge companies to present versus over $15,000 for DEMO. Inspite of this significative difference between the two tech shows, this does not seem to have affected DEMO as it is reporting more attendees, more presenting companies, more reporters and a good list of sponsors at the DEMO pavilion.

However, unlike TC50 which is available live on the Web, you 'll have to wait the end of the day Monday to access the first video of presentations at DEMO.
