Demo proposals

Propose a demo

Demos are the core of what we do. A good demo is not a product showcase — it is someone showing a system they built, being honest about what works and what does not.

Unfinished work is welcome, as long as there is something real to show. A running prototype with interesting failure modes is more valuable than a polished product with a scripted walk-through.

We are not looking for slides. We are looking for live systems — models running, APIs responding, pipelines doing something.

You do not need to be a member to propose a demo. Accepted demo proposers receive an invitation to the session they present at.

Strong proposals

  • Something that runs live, not screenshots
  • A specific technical problem and your approach to it
  • What the benchmarks did not prepare you for
  • An honest account of what still does not work
  • A question you want the room to help you think through

We are not looking for

  • Product demos with a sales intent
  • Slide decks without live systems
  • Overview talks on a model you did not build
  • Thought leadership or opinion pieces

Your details

The demo

What is this, in plain English? One or two sentences.

Be concrete. What does the audience see? Running code? A live product? A notebook? We need specifics.

Not required, but useful. GitHub, product URL, a short screen recording, arXiv.

Brief. Model(s), frameworks, infrastructure — whatever is relevant.

Optional. Equipment needs, sensitivities, constraints.

We will be in touch within two weeks regardless of the outcome.
