FAQs
Do I need a ticket?
No. It’s free, but please RSVP here. Registering helps us plan seating and snacks, and walk-ins are welcome if there’s room.
Do I have to stay all day?
No. Come anytime. Stay as long as you'd like. But do give yourself enough time to try the demos that interest you (we'll have 25+!). Demos run from 11AM - 3PM.
Can I bring my parents, my client, or my whole COA group?
Yes. Tell us you’re coming so we can meet the van and have chairs ready if needed.
Is there somewhere to sit? Is it loud?
Chairs throughout the hall and round tables near the podium. It’s a busy room and it can be a bit echoey.
Will people try to sell me something?
No. Founders want your honest reaction. Try everything, tell them what you think.
Feel free to share your contact info with a founder if you do decide you'd like to pilot or purchase after the Showcase.
Each demo will have a clear sign and a QR Code if you'd like to snap with your smartphone and follow-up for more info.
What if I need help getting from the door to the hall?
Greeters are at the Ashburton Park entrance from 10:45am and can walk with you.
