DemoCamp 4.0 Tonight!

Tonight’s the night!

From looking at the attendance list, tonight’s DemoCamp — the fourth in a monthly series of gatherings where where the bright lights in Accordion City’s high-tech community gather to show each other what they’re working on — is going to be the biggest one yet. As of this writing, nearly 140 people have signed the attendance list.

Once again, the details:

• Location: MaRS, South Tower, 101 College Street
• Time: 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
• After-gathering: Pogue Mahone, 777 Bay Street

  (south of College). Reservations are under David Crow.

• Tonight’s Demos (each one lasts 10 minutes):
  • Semacode – Visual tagging for real-world objects meets ubiquitous computing, moving us closer to Bruce Sterlings’ concept of “spimes”
  • Disposable Digital Cameras
  • Visual Search, where images, rather than words, are the search terms.
  • QuestionVille.com
  • Outmailer
  • TagEngine

The format is simple: presenters have 10 minutes during which they will demonstrate their project in front of the group. Asking questions is strongly encouraged; there are no spectators — only participants! Best of all, we have a “No PowerPoint” rule: you simply show your project in action!

The event attracts nerds of all sorts: programmers, artists, business people, investors, managers, marketers — all who have an interest in technology and the local tech scene. Many of the alpha geeks in town will show up tonight — will you? Be there and be square!
