PRESALES
BUILD LIVE!

LIMITED TO 30 SEATS

Dec. 11, 2025 @ The Harvard Club NYC

Come with an idea.
Leave with a working demo.

A 1-day, hands-on bootcamp for presales professionals. Build a credible demo, get buyer-style feedback, and leave with a 2-week PoC plan.

Building a 50k+ presales community
Hosted at the Harvard Club of NYC

What you get in 1 day

A working one-job demo

Build an end-to-end demo that proves a single user job from click to result. No fluff. Something you can show tomorrow.

Buyer-grade feedback

Present a 5-minute demo to judges who score clarity, fit, risks, and next steps. You get written notes and a short clip.

A 2-week PoC plan

Leave with a simple PoC checklist, success criteria, and an email script to move a prospect to a time-boxed pilot.

Vercel and Replit already run successful hands-on AI workshops and hackathons. We follow the same builder-first approach.

Who this is for

Presales engineers and solution consultants who own demos and pilots

Team leads who need repeatable demo patterns and benchmarks

Services partners who coach presales teams on modern demo workflows

The broader presales community reports 50k+ members, active events, and enablement resources. NYC has strong density.

Sponsors and coaches

This lab is built with coach sponsors who sit inside the rooms and help teams ship. We keep the room vendor neutral and outcome focused. We recruit from two groups:

Demo platforms: Reprise, Demostack, Walnut

AI builder tooling: Vercel AI SDK, Replit enterprise

Both groups already fund hands-on workshops. That is why the coaching works.

Sponsor the lab

Coach sponsors get 2 embedded coaches, 6 hosted seats, 1 judged showcase slot, opt-in leads, and inclusion in the NYC Demo Velocity Snapshot.
