DemoCamp Halifax will hold a mini, mid-season event on the night of Sunday, April 21, at Durty Nelly’s Pub on Argyle Street.
Billed as Mini DemoCamp Halifax, the event will feature a keynote address by David Crow, a co-founder of StartupNorth and the Evangelist in Residence at OMERS Ventures in Toronto. Crow will be in Halifax for a mentoring session with Toon Nagtegaal’s NextPhase, and will finish out the weekend with his speech to a gaggle of local tech enthusiasts.
Founded by TitanFile Co-Founder Milan Vrekic, DemoCamp Halifax has been held in each of the past two years. The startups that present should be far enough along in their development that they have a product to demo for the crowd. There are no powerpoints or pitches -- only demos.
The Mini DemoCamp will feature a more intimate crowd, with 100 tickets being sold as opposed to about 300 at the regular event. And there will be three or four pitchers, rather than the 18 that signed up last September.
The fewer presenters will also allow for a question-and-answer session between each demo.
“We have a lot of events in the region but not many of them provide feedback for the companies,” said Vrekic in an interview.
The organizers said last night the event is almost sold out. You can register at eventbrite.
