Why DemoHop?

DemoHop modernizes how tech teams interact and innovate.

Avoid the common pitfalls of hosting large tech team events on Teams or Zoom

#1

Attendees are fighting off yawns.

Sleepiness levels are 28% higher in large virtual meetings.

“They don’t do enough to keep people involved. They’re too crowded. They’re too long. There is too much lecturing and not enough interaction. People sink into drowsiness.”

Because they fail to connect people or get ideas flowing.

Discussions are dominated by a few strong voices that marginalize other views.

 “If only one person or a small group spoke all the time, the collective intelligence declined.”

So people resort to multitasking.

The larger the meeting, the more the multitasking

“Our results demonstrate that intrinsic meeting characteristics such as size, length, time, and type, significantly correlate with the extent to which people multitask.”

Here's the risk

Too much one way information sharing.

When relationships aren’t bridged and meetings become one-way broadcasts, idea flow grinds to a halt. Teams miss out on real collaboration, leading to fewer innovative breakthroughs. Without dynamic interaction, critical insights are lost, and the impact of the whole function weakens.

DemoHop fosters interactive, engaging environments where ideas flow freely, helping teams unlock their full potential.

The missing element in our workplaces.

Unfortunately, what Microsoft has noticed is strong ties have gotten stronger, the weak (bridging) ties have gotten weaker, but our job through a variety of software tools is to make those weak ties even stronger.

It's time for version 2.0

Tech Events 1.0

Giant Teams or Zoom calls where everyone is stuck listening to 1-2 people while slowly zoning out.

Tech Events 2.0

A free-flowing format that allows everyone to meet in small groups, exchange ideas and build their networks.
