Another reason for demoing at the workplace and getting employee's attention is to recruit their children for the team. Not being based in a school, and taking students from anywhere, we do have to constantly work to attract students to our team.

Unfortunately, quite often the demos are doing school, so it is only adults at the demos, with an occasional senior or recent alumni who can make it.

Another perk to having a demo at company sponsored events such as TOSADTWD is that someone from senior management usually stops by, and we can reinforce the message to them of why it's important for them to continue sponsoring us.
