Demodays 2011 are history and we had a very great time together with our visitors. We want to thank everybody that was there, contributed to the competitions, watched the demoshows; we would like to thank our partners and especially our location, the Schützi in Olten, which was simply awesome. For everything that's left from that much too short weekend, we have created the After the Party page - with photos, videos, reports, releases and more. Supply your content and we'll add it to the list. Thanks again, for Demodays 2011. We'll be back!

Demodays Discounts: Long-Distance and Students

Unlock — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 04:51:34 PDT

Perhaps you have already seen that our entrance tickets in Euro are a bit more expensive than last year. While we are extremely sorry about the sucky conversion rate, we can't do much about it - except one thing: Showing our appreciation for visitors coming from far away we establish a long distance discount that applies for journey longer than 700km (as the crow flies). But that's not all yet, we also want to make it a bit more affordable for students to visit the Demodays. In consequence, we now have a students discount too. To apply for one of these discounts, please contact us in advance. We're so looking forward to seeing all of you!
