I’m very excited to announce that our invited speaker for DemoCampGuelph22 on October 30th is Mike Kirkup. Mike has a previous life running efforts like developer relations at a small shop named BlackBerry. He’s now dove headfirst into the startup world with his current role as Director of VeloCity at University of Waterloo. There’s a […]
It’s been a while but our 22nd version of DemoCampGuelph will be on October 30th. Hopefully I won’t be pelted with rotten eggs! Please make sure to register if you can attend. If you’d like a demo spot, please apply now. I do NOT decide who gets to demo so bribing me won’t help but […]
For those of you who enjoy beer, do we have a mashup for you. Take some DemoCampGuelph, toss in a little OX Guelph and sprinkle in a master brewer from Great Lakes Brewery and what are you left with? DemoBeerGuelph, that’s what! For those coming to DemoCampGuelph, we have room for forty of you to […]
I reckon I’ve attended 17 out of 20 DemoCampGuelph nights. Why do I come? Community. I know, it can be a problematic term, but there is something to it that’s worth holding on to. DemoCampGuelph is part of an important movement of improvised community-making, a new, responsive way of building networks of trust and respect, […]
We’re closing in on our next DemoCampGuelph on April 10th in downtown Guelph at The EBar. You still have time to submit for a demo spot but that time is slipping away so email me your demo pitch asap! As always, it’s free to attend, you don’t have to be technical or demo something to […]

The plus for me is that I don’t spend the week of the event begging […]
(Editor’s note: This is being reposted here from shiftMode) By the end of this week I’ll have organized and hosted 13 DemoCampGuelph events. Along the way I’ve seen some incredible demo’s. I’ve learned, I’ve been impressed but I’ve also been embarrassed and outright skeered. People often ask for tips and information related to demo’ing but […]
In the words of the great Kanye West, Simon “Imma let you finish” but I just want everyone to know that I had one of the best DemoCampGuelph (DCG) presentations of ALL TIME. Let’s be honest here, what I brought to the table that night was nothing short of spectacular, a masterpiece for the ages […]
A friend mentioned today that naming our upcoming DemoCampGuelph inspired event “DemoCampGuelph Old School” was confusing. Some people may think we’re stopping the existing DCG and replacing it with these events. To clarify, DCG proper is not changing. All we’re doing here at ThreeFortyNine is hosting a smaller, more intimate event inspired by the early […]
