THE PLAN
WHO "DEMOED" | WHO "DATED" | WHO WON
SPONSORS | LOCATION



THE PLAN

During NYC Digital Show & Tell attendees "Speed Dated" up and coming projects related to e-books, e-readers, digital books and digital content.

HOW IT WORKED: Six demonstrators elevator pitched their innovative digital project to a small section of attendees for 7 minutes, strictly timed. Once time was up, the demonstrators rotated groups until all attendees had the chance to view all projects. Once the rotation was complete, and after a brief coffee break, another six demonstrators took the floor.

When all was said and done, attendees had "dated" 12 exciting new projects and voted for their favorites!

We know you love Twitter and hope you'll continue to tweet-up the NYC Digital Show and Tell for all your friends to see! When you do, use #digiST.
