Demo Days

SF Stephen Frey Public Seen by 24

Let's have days where we show off our work by demoing it to friends and the public!

These don't need to be super formal; it's okay to show off prototypes in mid-progress. The test is: if you came into a group and saw the project in its current state, would it be interesting enough to make you want to help build it more? :)

Would anticipate having 20-40 people.

  • What projects can we show off?
  • What venue / building is a good place to do this?
  • Let's bring FOOD!

Additional projects to 'show' off:
some recaps of the talks we have had so far and will have in the next 3 weeks.

This may include a table for the ultra sound for people to test if they would become happier, or something like it.

Regarding the venue: it would have to be a room with plenty of outlets, so maybe Cory Hall or BiD are more suitable for it.

I am reluctant to use BiD: it's such a great space and if it we're up to me we'd host all our events there, it's just, that at the moment we can't control the people visiting our events and I'm worried about who will be responsible for when things go missing (it is an office space after all)

Not that CogTechies would ever misbehave in any such way, of course...

Venue:
Agreed that BiD would not be the best venue.

  • 2nd Floor Cory Lounge has nice tables - each one could have a demo booth on it.

  • 5th floor Cory rooms have a nice table setup, but might be a bit cramped.

  • Other big open spaces? 2nd Floor Sutardja Dai hall has big Expos / workshops sometimes... wonder what it would take to use that.
