It's time for another MinneDemo!
This time around, we've arranged to have the Acadia Cafe, located on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis' "Eat Street" district, close their doors to the public and make both their stage/theater and the cafe/pub space available exclusively for MinneDemo attendees on the evening of Monday, December 11th.
The Acadia can accommodate a larger audience, provides us with separate spaces for presentations and networking, offers a nice menu and a really diverse set of beers all in a non-corporate setting. The place has soul, and lets us address the valid gripe last time 'round about not being able to hear the presenters over the chatter.
| Date | Monday, December 11th |
| Time | 6:30pm for drinks and food, demos start at 7:00pm |
| Location | Acadia Cafe, "Eat Street" Minneapolis |
| Attendees | All are welcome! Please sign your name on this page so we know how many people are coming. |
Demo Schedule
We will have seven 15-minute demos. Sign up below if you're interested and, of course, there's no fee or any BS associated with presenting. Also, email dan at unpossible dot com and look at recursion dot org (currently serves a 403) so we know how to reach you. This is really important so that we can confirm that you're still in when we get closer to the event.
