Finding the right engagement technology can be overwhelming. Demo Days is a brand new virtual event designed to make it easier to explore the tools shaping the future of public participation.
Join public participation professionals from across North America for live demonstrations of leading engagement platforms and digital tools. See solutions in action, learn how they are being used in real world engagement, and get a closer look at what different platforms can offer.
Rather than scheduling individual vendor meetings or researching platforms on your own, Demo Days brings multiple solutions together in one place. You'll have the opportunity to hear directly from platform providers, explore key features, ask questions, and compare approaches so you can make more informed decisions about technology for your organization and your communities.

See Maptionnaire during Demo Days and discover how mapping can help reveal the patterns and perspectives within public input. Middle Ground | VIEW COMPANY WEBSITE Middle Ground is a secure AI workspace built for teams conducting complex consultation and engagement. It helps bring fragmented information out of emails, spreadsheets, and meeting notes while reducing the administrative work that can pull practitioners away from listening, building relationships, and following through. Designed for high stakes engagement where accountability, traceability, and trust matter, Middle Ground helps teams work more efficiently while keeping the human side of consultation at the center. See Middle Ground during Demo Days and explore how responsible AI can help give engagement teams more time for the work only people can do.
