Below is the list of demos that took place at CW15. Due to the demand for slots (and all the cool technology and advice on offer) we had two sessions each of 25 minutes in length.
Each session consisted of 5-10 minutes of presentations and 15 minutes of more of discussions. Attendees were encouraged to ask questions and enquire about how they could use the approach, tools etc - these session had a focus on being interactive.
