It’s our demo night, where people in the audience are invited to “show and tell” their latest creation, design, application, or a cool tool they’ve discovered that’s made their life easier. Each person has five minutes to present and answer questions. Demo night is a great opportunity to share your work, see what others have been working on, and get feedback on works in progress.
Interested in demoing your work? RSVP on the Refresh Detroit website.
