No pitch decks.Show running code, architecture, the decisions you made, and the things that broke. Fragile and experimental builds are welcome — tell us what failed and how you fixed it.Top 3 are chosen by the judges. The audience picks a separate Community Choice.Registration is reviewed. This is a room of engineers — whether you're demoing or here to see what's actually possible with the Perxona Connect Kit.Most people in the room won't be demoing. That's the point — ten demos deserve an audience that asks good questions.All 10 finalist projects are featured on the Perxona official website showcase, and shared across our Discord and social channels.Want to use your own avatar? We'll convert it — free.Optional. Not required, and it does not affect judging.
