I think Mark’s right though, that a DemoCamp for world altering ideas might need to relax the ‘no powerpoint’ rule, there are lots of important ideas out there that don’t have a UI to demo. I don’t have a problem with that change, in fact it could be a good thing I suspect.</p> This gets my vote.

Yes. I think. We need to raise our sights and improve our thinking. We need to inspire and captivate an audience. We also need to have the ability to execute our crazy schemes, find community, improve ourselves and each other.</p> <p>What does this mean? What does such a beast look like?
