Dangerous Demos was started in 2012 by renowned industry veteran James Body, to identify new and emerging technology that can eventually be deployed by carriers and mobile operators. This year’s Dangerous Demos will be held on the final day of the conference, Thursday, August 7th.☯
Bringing Dangerous Demos to ClueCon over 10 years ago was the natural event to have developers prove their experience and abilities by pushing the envelope of new ideas in a competitive environment, all based upon open source communications software, including class leading FreeSWITCH. To win one of the Dangerous Demos 3D laser etched trophies is also not an easy thing to do; anyone with one or more of these sitting on their mantlepiece can quite rightly class themselves as a fearless pioneer of Open Source, a true Original Geek.
