At MW2010 museum staff members will show sites created in a non-profit environment and explain the workings behind them to their colleagues. Informal demonstration sessions are a chance to see many sites close-up and talk one-on-one with colleagues about their designs and the decisions that went into them.

The Demonstration Hall is set up in the Exhibit Hall. Delegates move from booth to booth for individual discussions with Demonstrators.
