2017 MPG Demo Thread

Happy New Year to all!!!

Time to get to work everyone arty::drink::beat-up: (Actually had a quiet night in).

OK, as of today I have anywhere from 7-10 slots for demos. These can be shifted for more/less time as the topics and volunteers get settled. We also can easily add a second slot for "Hand's on," as well as allowing more time for the door prizes and vendor sales. Giving more time for vendor sales would be nice as folks will not need to choose between missing part of a session to shop for 15-20 minutes.
