Demo Night Prep: Presentation & Poster Work Session
About Event
Plus pizza!
Getting ready for Demo Night? Join us for an informal working session to sharpen your pitch, build your poster and get feedback along the way.
If you've taken part in a hackathon, a Sprint, a Venture pathway program or anything else at the Lab, you're welcome to showcase your work at Demo Night, and this session is for you. You don't need to have attended the Sprint, and it's fine if you haven't touched your BuildFest project since September. Just drop in and work with us.
