DEMO NIGHT SIGN UP!
Showcase your innovative projects at MERIF26's Demo Night! Share the work you've been developing by filling out the form to be considered.
If you’ve never participated in a Demo/Poster Night, the event is set up like a trade show, where each presenter is stationed at their own booth (a table around the room). Attendees will visit booths to learn about your experiments, ask questions, and engage with your work. At the end of the evening, attendees will vote for their favorite demo, and the winner will be featured in a blog post on our website and LinkedIn, receive a MERIF Best Demo Certificate, and be highlighted in the next newsletter.
Please complete the form by August 31, 2026.
