The eLearning Guild Announces DemoFest 2010 Winners!

November 10, 2010
The eLearning Guild announced the winners of this year’s DemoFest at the close of DevLearn 2010 on November 5, 2010. It seemed that most of the over 1,600 conference attendees must have visited DemoFest during the evening, as you can see in the video.

DemoFest is an annual contest at DevLearn during which dozens of conference participants show off their latest and greatest development efforts, and other conference attendees vote for the ones that they judge the best. This year’s DemoFest, sponsored by Citrix GoToTraining, showcased 48 outstanding demos.

DemoFest is always a highlight of the conference, and the party-like atmosphere adds to everyone’s enjoyment.
