DemoCamp is a variation of the un-conference style of event, started by the TorCamp group as an excuse to have more regular meetings where community members share what they've been working on, demo their products, meet others (and share a drink or 3).
Though conceived in Toronto, this style of get-together would work well anywhere. Why not start one in your city?
