A quick wrapup post on last week’s DemoCampGuelph. Once again thanks to all who attended, demoed, helped organize, promoted, etc. These are community events and only as good as what we all give. Thanks to eBar for hosting us and our event sponsors Communitech, Sun, and our newest sponsor Guelph Chamber of Commerce.

The evening itself went smooth for the most part. Estimates are there were 60 to 80 people in attendance, including a great crowd that stuck around after the event to socialize. There are rumours that some people continued on at The Albion afterwards but I can’t speak to that.

Special thanks for Will Pate for stepping in last minute and saving our butts as our invited speaker. We had a solid list of demo submissions and unfortunately didn’t have room for all. If you didn’t get a spot for this event, please don’t let that stop you from submitting to the next event.

Our demo’s for the evening were:

• Adil and Ticket Trunk: Democratizing the online ticketing industry.
• Cory Fowler with jTweetr: jQuery tool that uses the search api to bring a feed of tweets to a website.
• Andrew Miklas with PagerDuty: aggregates alerts from your monitoring systems and forwards them according to your on-call schedule.
• Ben Vinegar with GuestList: Sell tickets to your event online and expand your audience. Manage your attendees and cashflow with a professional set of tools.
• Jason Hanley with BuyMyStuff:a nice easy way to manage an online garage sale of multiple items.
• somaICE: is a CMS that is SEO’d @ the core platform Level that allows end users the ability to manage their content while giving them comprehensive business management tools and reporting. Sort of like Salesforce.com + BaseCamp + Drupal on roids all in one Box
• Justin Lai with Markiter: an online service aimed at helping small businesses gather market research through instant focus groups.

Thanks to Simon for his major overhaul of the Crowie (pictures anyone??). The Crowie for demo of the night went to Cory and jTweetr, keeping in mind that the prick host forgot to get Justin and Markiter in the voting round.

Thanks again and keep your eye out for the next event, likely late September. Sign up for our google group to stay informed.
