Tips on giving a good demo

ABSTRACT

For the first time this year, a "Best Demonstrations" session was included in the SIGMOD program. The first two days of the program included 24 demonstrations, each of which was presented during two of six interactive demo sessions. During the first two days, panels of three judges visited each demo group, each of whom was allotted 15 minutes to present their system to the judges. The friendly competition made for very exciting and noisy demo sessions!
