DemoFest has been a feature of DevLearn and other eLearning Guild events for years. It provides a venue for practitioners, students, and vendors to show their best work. It also provides an opportunity for event participants and the creators of those works to engage in dialogue about design, development, and tools. Demonstrations are chosen by the Guild’s onsite learning event managers from among a large number of applications.

DemoFest at DevLearn 2019

This year’s DevLearn DemoFest included 100 demonstrations and their creators. The event was open to DevLearn attendees, who voted on the demonstrations in a dozen categories. The winning demonstrations and their categories appear in the table at the end of this article.

The Best of DemoFest 2019 webinar

In order to give exposure to the best demonstrations, The eLearning Guild has invited all of the DevLearn 2019 DemoFest winners to show their work in a free webinar at 10 am Pacific Time on November 20, 2019; however, their individual participation in the event depends on their availability. Register today for the webinar! (The webinar will be recorded, but it's better if you can attend the live demonstrations).
