Your First Warning: DemoCamp 17 Takes Place on Monday, February 25th

That’s right — DemoCamp, the gathering of the bright lights of Toronto’s tech community takes place in a couple of weeks! Here are the details:

• When: Monday, February 25th, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Doors typically open around 5 - 5:30)
• Where: Toronto Board of Trade, 1 First Canadian Place (King and Bay), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
• Niceties include: Free food and a cash bar
• Cost: Free, but you have to sign up, and there’s also the option of making a donation (see below)
• After-party: After the presentations, we’ll adjourn to the nearby Duke of Westminster (77 Adelaide Street West)

I’ll go into more detail about DemoCamp in a later posting, but in the meantime, here are some handy links to get you started:

• We use this Eventbrite page for sign-ups. You need to sign up to attend, and there are three sign-up options:
  • You can “purchase” a free ticket, which as the name implies, means that it costs nothing
  • You can purchase a Community Supporter ticket for $5
  • You can purchase a Community All-Star ticket for $10 (I bought one just now)
• You’ll find more details about the event at the DemoCamp 17 page on the BarCamp wiki.
• If you want to do a demo or Ignite presentation at DemoCamp 17, sign up here.
• DemoCamp sells sponsorships! Sponsorship means prominent placement of your logo during the opening comments, and a representative from your company or organization gets 2 minutes at the podium. Sponsorships go for a mere $200 — contact Jay Goldman for details.

As I wrote earlier, I’ll post more details later.
