Let me just let the text on the site for DemoCampVancouver speak for itself.
What is DemoCamp Vancouver All about?
Unlike other iterations of DemoCamp, the Vancouver event covers all industries. Idea people will be presenting innovations on all things ranging from business to charity, high-technology to high-art. The purpose is to encourage a cross-pollination of industries and individuals in hopes that people engaged in unrelated endeavors might provide an enlightening perspective on the presenters concept. There is strength in diversity!
Yes, that’s right, we’re redefining “Demo”, but at the same time, showing a connection between all the bright people across Canada and beyond who are gathering to share cool ideas.
The Idea is your Demo
Your concept or idea should be developed enough to support a three minute presentation, but it is not necessary to have a working model to “demo” … it’s the idea that’s important! There are three minutes for delivery and three minutes for discussion. The time limit is strict so if you take two and a half minutes to setup your laptop, you only get thirty seconds to present. (the gong hath no mercy).
I always have ideas floating through my head. My biggest problem is putting them on paper so I don’t forget them. After that, it’s a daunting task to go from paper to project. Right now, I have about five post-it notes floating around with lists of things that I’m thinking about or actually applying to various things. Trust me, that’s better than letting it float to the back of my brain.
I’ll wander my way to DemoCampVancouver on May 24th and see what happens. Would be neat to get some audio from people who are thinking about various things, not to mention see some cool people.
