Photos+Video: Seattle Demo 2011 Recap

We kicked off our first demo event last night with a packed house at Tableau Software (our event sponsor) in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood. More than 50 hacks and hackers packed the meeting space to learn about recent innovations at Tableau, Intersect, The Seattle Times, Journalism That Matters-Pacific Northwest and Microsoft Fuse Labs. Guests also spent a good chunk of time eating, drinking and making connections during the fully catered (thanks, Tableau) networking session that we’re hoping will lead to some cool projects in the near future. If you missed the demo, be sure to check out the Ustream video.

Thanks to all who showed up. We’re hoping the next meetup will combine gaming and news. We’ve also heard feedback from members interested in getting involved with a collaborative, hands-on project. We’re on it. Stay tuned for more.
