Demo conference executive producer (and VentureBeat founder) Matt Marshall and his posse will be in town next Thursday scouting out startups interested in unveiling their companies or products at the spring edition of the semi-annual tech event.
We’re planning on knocking back a beer or two (or maybe something stronger) with Matt and the Demo gang—and hope to see you there. It all takes place at Vox Populi at 755 Boylston Street, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Matt came to town this summer in a scouting trip for Demo’s fall event, which just took place last month in San Diego (one of Xconomy’s cities). It was a great evening and this one looks to be even better. There will be cool startups, Demo vets, and other great folks. At Demo, if you aren’t aware, selected startups do six-minute onstage demonstrations of their newest products or concepts.
Not only is it free (registration is required, though), the first 38 folks through the door get a coupon for a free drink. (It’s supposed to be 40, but Wade and I plan to be there first). Register here.
