DemoCamp - a presenter's perspective

We presented at DemoCamp7 last night.  Overall a positive, if nerve racking, experience.  Impressions:

  1. Damn, that's a lot of people to have staring back at you.
  2. Speak louder.  We weren't miked, and I think some of what we showed of our app may have been lost a bit because of the noise.
  3. Listen to the audience... the feedback was pretty valuable, and I got a couple of new feature ideas just from listening to the questions.
  4. Other presenters always seem more impressive than you :-).  (FeelingBullish.com, Paruba.com, The Glove, Perl 6 - Damian Conway)

Overall, I think the response was positive, but time will tell if this is a representative sample.  Much better descriptions of all the presentations can be found elsewhere:
