DemoCamp Niagara is back. Join local designers, developers, entrepreneurs, and investors for an evening of technology demos. You will have a unique opportunity to see tech built right here in Niagara.

DemoCamp 2 is taking place at the Red Hot Chili Pepper in Downtown St. Catharines on Wednesday November 28, 2012. Doors open at 6PM for refreshments, snacks, and networking. The presentations begin at 7PM.

Dr. Kevin Kee of Brock University’s Centre for Digital Humanities will present a keynote: The Future of the Past, or Why Historians Need to Work with Digital Media Developers. Afterward, demonstrations will include:

  • Trevor Twining, Senior Dev and Team Lead for CGI Group, with a Drupal distribution meant to enable the simple publication and sharing of geographic data.

  • Glen Herdy of Protecht will demonstrate the XAT Tool, addressing the often unheeded threats posed by printer security vulnerabilities.

  • Ericka Evans from Phantom Compass will present Rollers of the Realm, a unique mashup of pinball and fantasy role-playing game, to be launched in 2013 for iPad, PC, and XBLIG.

  • Software Niagara’s very own app, produced during their Secret Hackathon!

DemoCamp Guelph 20

 

Tuesday, November 27 at The EBar

 

Who should attend?

Anyone in and around Guelph interested in software, the web and technology! Startup junkies, wage slaves, consultants, students, indie professionals, engineers, designers, money and marketing guys. If you want to see and talk about some interesting things, and get to know other people in the Guelph tech community, come on out! You don’t have to demo to attend.

 

What could I demo?

The real question is, what would other people find interesting? A web app or cool piece of software you wrote, a neat prototype or project you were part of, even some obscure tool or weird hack you’ve found that others would find useful, astounding or entertaining. Commercial, open source, homebrew hack, whatever… if you can show it
off in five minutes, and think it’ll generate questions, conversation or feedback, come out and demo it!

Note: You do NOT have to demo to attend. If, however, you are interested in demo’ing, then contact Brydon with details of your demo for consideration.

 

Invited Speaker

Michael Litt, founder of local startup Vidyard will be speaking. Does it really matter what he’s saying? You should be there regardless.

 

After Event Live Music

Kenny Phelps from The Speakeasies will turn a ragtag trio of unskilled musicians into a functioning real live rock band right in front of our eyes.
