Apply to Present at Minnedemo42

Got a brilliant side project, after-work-hustle or budding start-up you want to share with hundreds of your closest friends? We’ve got just the venue for some tech show and tell!

Minnedemo42 is Thursday, Oct 1, 2026 at the Ordway in St. Paul and we’re looking for MN-made tech to feature. Apply by midnight on Sunday, Aug 23, 2026 for the chance to show off your tech.

New to Minnedemo? Here’s how it works:

  • 7-minute live demo (no slides!)
  • Demos are truly demos: you present your work or work-in-progress to the audience.
  • The audience includes thinkers, innovators, potential users, potential investors, and a supportive community.

Submitting is easy:
Just fill out our quick online application. We welcome tech projects of all sizes and stages — from solo side gigs to big company innovations — as long as they’re made here in Minnesota. Check out our Minnedemo Presenters Guide or 7 Tips and Strategies to Nail Your Demo to learn more.
