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
