Vienna Demo Night

You'll get the chance to demo what you've been working on, anything from web apps, just-for-fun tinkering experiments, research projects, to hardware. Only requirement: You built something technical. Bonus points if it's a random, obscure side project. If you think it's not quite ready yet, it probably is - just make it fun to listen to your presentation! More than that, you'll meet fellow builders who are also technical - no investors, no lurkers. We want to see your terminal, your web app, your sensor logs, or even your robot, and hear about the unexpected problems you hit along the way or are wrestling with right now. Before you register This is an active participation event. Everybody presents what they're working on in a short demo. Apply with a demo → fast-tracked to approval. Just want to watch? → We'll wait until roughly 3 days before the event and admit watchers based on remaining space. Demos are 2 minutes. You can show anything that (a) shows something interesting and (b) others can learn from. What to expect Live demos only. Laptop or hardware straight to the projector. No slides. If your project is best shown by images that's fine, just open them in preview. Two minutes are short, so keep it on point. Food and drinks. The demos are really a setup for the conversations afterward, so we'll keep you fed and hydrated. ​Prizes Two awards with mini-prizes, both decided by audience vote. Most Engaging Presentation. Not the shiniest project, the best telling of it. Make people who'd never thought about your problem suddenly care about it and root for you. Bravest Demo. For the builders who are most honest about the problems they're facing and the mistakes they've made. The ones who demoed something they started a week ago that still doesn't work, and showed it anyway.
