Best software demo you’ve run (or seen) and where did you find the event?
by•
I’ve hit a few demo nights in SF with some gems and some straight-up misses. I’m chasing the high-signal ones where you leave with something you can ship next week.
What’s the best demo you ran or attended recently, and what made it great? If there’s a series or event worth following, drop it (city or online both welcome).
Always curious how folks are showcasing their hard work and what’s actually working.

In fact, many people don’t see what we see in our product. To convey this to others, we need to understand them. When they watch a product demonstration, they want a clear answer to the question in their mind: "Why do we need this? And how will it help us?" If we create a few slides based on these questions, it will generate more interest

@ixord Love your user mindset.
FWIW, I tested a no-slides, 2-min lightning demo tonight and it seemed to land without feeling pitchy. Flow was:
1-line problem frame for the persona
Colleague drove the clicks while I narrated the story
3 concrete benefits (tied to the workflow, not features)
Simple CTA (“onboard in 3 minutes, try now for free”)
Kept it tight and audience-first, which echoes your point.
