Hi Gord,

If I recall my ‘not just iphones’ comment was in reference to the iPads that we were privileged to have in the room.

Regards,
Ron

Does anyone know the names of the companies that presented? What was that Oil and Gas application demoed?

Comment on DemoCamp 16 – Jan 26th – District by Gordon McDowell

So people know, normally District has a wireless mic that broadcasts thru all their speakers. It was broken yesterday but would be fixed for any future DemoCamp. Plus I showed up late (so didn’t set up cameras, nor helped with any audio).

I’m happy to try District again knowing audio problems can certainly be solved, and they have HDTVs which could possibly relay a video image as well as the projected image. I can see it working, but I’ll concede it didn’t work very well last night.

But I’m also not too worried where the next venue is… showing up early and placing whatever speaker we have further into the audience makes a big difference in how audible the speaker is.

I know the venue change was requested due to cheaper drink and food prices, but the District was a terrible venue for anyone who likes to hear or see the demos. I was disappointed with how rude a lot of people were that were talking through the demos, especially the first presenters who engaged in full volume conversation throughout the entirety of everyone else’s presentations. The space was too small, visual and audio was inadequate, and for this I would happily pay $5.75 a beer for a proper venue.

** I know the manager at Seven, and I’m sure he would be happy to have specials for democamp.

I’m a big fan of democamp, but if it was held at District or a similar venue again I would unfortunately have to stop being a regular attendee.
