Slides can hide anything, so at Noesis every talk ends the same way: a live demo, on the real product, with the audience choosing the inputs. It keeps speakers honest and the room awake.
The tradition started three years ago when a keynote demo famously failed on stage — and the speaker debugged it live while three thousand people leaned forward. The applause lasted longer than any polished video would have.
This year, forty sessions end in demos, and ten finalists compete in Showcase Hour for the Noesis Cup. Come ready to vote.
