Two kinds of demos

Community demo

You must invite people. You must tell the neighborhood. There is no company email list to lean on.

Corporate demo

You often talk to leaders first. Then you show a meeting to the people who would join. The last ask can be short if the company already said yes.

Who runs it

Sponsors run demo meetings. A new club may have up to two sponsors. Experienced members fill the roles. A good demo uses about eight members when you have them. A small demo can work with two experienced members if you keep roles simple.

Toastmaster

Speaker

Gives a short speech.

Evaluator

Tells the speaker what worked.

Table Topicsmaster

Timer

Grammarian
