Demodays 2011 watch - create - compete

The Demoscene is gathering again in Switzerland for the 20th time (This reminds me again how old I am). Formerly known as Buenzli Demoparty the organizers changed the event name to Demodays to have a more specific name for the event.

 

This year the Demodays will be held in Olten/Switzerland. The place has got new fancy features:

• The main hall is located right beside the public open air pool and really close to the river Aare
• Plenty of showers are available in the open air pool for a reduced entrance fee with the demodays wristband
• We're able to sell Club Mate Cola (and of course beer, this time the famous Eichhof brand)
• A gallery (where the organizer-corner will be located but also a whole lot of space for everyone)
• Free parking right in front of the location
• Enough space for "the real party is outside" action
• City center of Olten: Shops, hotels, public transport and everything else you could possibly need is nearby
• A location that is commonly used for concerts: We have the stage, the volume control and fine sound mixing devices
• A large big screen (720p) and additional screens for real time information and slides
• and more! 

What is demodays anyway?
«demodays» (formerly called Buenzli) is an annual event (a so called demoparty), taking place during three days in Summer in Olten/Switzerland. It is organized by «Echtzeit - Digitale Kultur», a Swiss association dedicated to the demoscene. In various contests and competitions like animation, demos, realtime-movies, music, graphics or game-developement, the visitors, coming from all over Europe, compete against each other. The winners are given a whole lot of attractive prizes. Beside these contests, there’s a surrounding event program with bands, visuals and entertainment. «Demodays» is the largest event of its kind in Switzerland and attracts around 100 to 150 visitors every year. The audience consist of a wide range of different kinds of persons - everybody that feels the urge to do more than office work and gaming with his computer is welcome!
