Great Demo! Open Workshops

We have scheduled 3 Public Great Demo! Workshops in 2012 as
follows
:

-        February 29
-        May 23
-        October 10

These Workshops will take place in San Jose, California, in
conjunction with the folks at SKMurphy.  This is an excellent
opportunity for individuals or small groups or for teams that have
new hires.  

We’ve found that these events are most productive when there are at
least 2 participants from each organization.  This helps to mimic
real-life interactions as much as possible, both when preparing
demos and delivering them in the role-play sessions.

For more details and registration information
on the February 29
Workshop please

October Workshops please

Two Pieces of Interesting News

1.  Our customers report getting letters and email from their
customers - thanking them for the crisp, focused, refreshing demos
they delivered!  This is not a rare occurrence, but has been ongoing.

2.  Some Great Demo! customers now include “customers’
customers” – companies with internal IT teams developing
applications for internal use – who are
also taking Great Demo!
Workshops to improve the roll-out and use of their internal
applications.  Fascinating!


LinkedIn Group - Over 1600 Members

Join the Great Demo! Group on LinkedIn.  There are currently over
1600 members in the Group, many of whom are Great Demo!
Workshop graduates.  We post topics and ideas for discussion,
