SAN JOSE, Calif.----Techmanity 2014, Silicon Valleys first official technology conference, is welcoming start up teams to apply for free demo kiosks in its Startlandia exhibit space at the San Jose Convention Center Oct. 1-2.

"Startlandia provides a dynamic platform for these companies to demonstrate the true impact of their products and services on society."

Techmanity, sponsored by Adobe, Cisco, PayPal, Samsung and Voom among others, zeroes in on innovators working at the intersection of technology and humanity - including human-centered design and people-driven engineering - and producing new products and services with the potential to change the world and improve life on earth. The Startlandia exhibit area will feature the best of a new breed of startups that integrate high-growth market potential with positive social impact. For the selected teams, Startlandia represents a powerful opportunity to make their case before many of Silicon Valleys most thoughtful leaders.
