DemoCamp is a variation of the un-conference style of event, started by the TorCamp group as an excuse to have more regular meetings where community members share what they've been working on, demo their products, meet others (and share a drink or 3).

Though conceived in Toronto, this style of get-together would work well anywhere. Why not start one in your city?

Demos 

Demos will be 5 minutes. 

Demos are not a product sales pitch. Read Value to the Audience; Tips for Presenting at DemoCamp and What Makes a Great Demo. We are looking for Toronto technology companies to celebrate and inspire the community.

If you are interested in demoing, please complete the submission form

• Who are you?
• What will you be demonstrating?
• What will the community get out of the demo?
• How will your demo inspire/provoke/engage the community?
• Why should you be selected to demo?

Ignite Presentations

There will be 6 presentations. 

What is an Ignite presentation? An Ignite presentaiton is a 5 minute presentation with 20 slides x 15 seconds per slide where the presenter does not have control over the slide show.  

If you had five minutes to talk to Toronto what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Launch a web site? Teach a hack? Talk about recent learnings, sucesses, failures? Fill out the form below to submit your talk. We are looking for talks that will inspire and teach not recruiting or product pitches.

Submit your talk
