A response from the Witch Doctor gear set implied that the demo at this year's Blizzcon would be in Act III. Bashiok's simple response: Nope. This may come as some good news to those who want to be left in the dark about the rest of the game while others may be mad that we don't get to see the next Act. So, the question remains, what Act and part are we going to get to see in the new demo. There is also the chance that with the more varying landscapes, we may still see Act II but hopefully a completely different area than the desert. Maybe this way they can show just how varying each Act will be with their locations.

It could be a mindgame, of the sort Bashiok really likes. I wouldnt think that the third Act wont be showed to us because its not ready, Jay Wilson mentioned how all of the acts are being worked on simultaneously (except for the first that should be done and polished right now).
I was guessing we'd get to see the third Act together with the fifth character class and not "just" the new class in known environments. It definitely could be that we'll see other areas of known acts to see how the game progresses but even with Bashioks reply i'm hesitant to believe it.
I think they are holding off on showing us too much progress of the game. Not development-wise but they want to keep further parts of the game a secret until the game is out.
While Bashiok often speaks in confusing metaphors and sarcasm, he rarely if ever straight out lies. His direct answer really leaves no room for mystery and debate.
It is also possible that they will show us part of Act III but it just won't be the demo.

I'm pretty sure we're going to see the jungle in act 2. I remember seeing this artwork (which I can't find, been looking for an hour) where the desert changed into a jungle, like it was an oasis for something, and it had something to do with the spider cave. Anyways, I think we might see the jungle part of the game at this year's Blizzcon and it won't be part of act 3.

This body holding me, reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember... We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.

Indeed. Great news it is. Seriously.
I'm not interested in seeing new acts until I actually play the game now.
No Act will be seen in the demo. It will present the PvP arenas/maps. That's why they are showing off the item sets featured in the demo - so everyone has a fair chance!

YES! Exactly my thoughts. They said that acts won't be = to a certain setting/environment. It is pretty obvious that there will be a shift from desert to jungle in the game and it will logically be at the end of act 2 +1 for you man !
preferably id like this years blizcon to revisit areas of the previous blizcons. That way we can see how the game has progressed in terms of gameplay, game mechanics and gfx.

Exactly what I was thinking as well, they've mentioned several times that each act isn't centered in one place so it's entirely possible that we could see act one or two new areas.
well the only thing I have to say is really it was never really said that we seen act 2 (the desert with the monk they even said was part of act 1...and they said that into comparison to D2 it would be like act 1-2 is pretty much act 1 in D3 as so forth soo maybe he said that because we will see act 2 not act 3 I'm only speculating soo bare with me)or maybe we did see act 1 and 2 or parts I should say but they will make a demo or something of just a random enviroment so who knows we will see
who said Act III will be in the jungle?
guessing since they showed the act 1 to be similar to one of Diablo II and the second being (partially at least) a desert, people got confused
i just hope of some new environments to be showed in Blizzcon, so far its more of the same.
Akuma, one who goes well with tonic, I'm thinking they're going to introduce us to pvp at blizzcon - i also think more of the game is finished than we anticipate

I guess it's true what they say, great minds think alike hehe. So +1 to you too!
