Class Outline
In lieu of a typical class, today we will attend the Dal Demo Day. This is an annual event where Dal student startup teams pitch their ideas to a public audience. It’s a great chance to see what the startup world is like, and the kinds of ideas other Dal students are carrying forward.
The demo day actually runs from noon until 4:30 PM. Since class is only scheduled 2:35–3:55, you are only required to attend during this time. But, you are encouraged to arrive earlier if you can, as you will get more out of the event.
Location: Joseph Strug Concert Hall (Dal Arts Centre, behind the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium) 1385 Seymour Street Halifax NS B3H 3M6
