About Event

The World's Best Demo Day

Ever had that thing you've been dying to build? That breakthrough waiting to happen? That idea that keeps you up at night? At Socratica's largest-ever Symposium, you'll witness 100+ makers, artists, researchers, founders, and dreamers who took that leap—and now they're ready to show you what's possible.

We're transforming Waterloo into a living, breathing showcase of human potential. Picture this: dazzling demos on the hockey rink's center stage, interactive exhibitions circling the arena, and conversations that spark the next big thing.

Coming to Waterloo: https://w25.socratica.info/

Space is limited. ​You must RSVP to attend this event - this will help us manage how much food to get + other logistics!

Doors open at 5:30 PM

Getting There Together

Just a 15-minute walk from campus! Don't walk alone—join one of our walking groups and start making friends before you even arrive:

🚶‍♂️ Walking Groups (5:30 PM)

  • CMH Cafeteria

  • Icon South Tower Lobby

  • E7 First Floor - C&D

  • V1 Caf

  • United College Cafeteria

Look for hosts wearing Socratica merch at each meeting point! Each group will take a 15-minute ~scenic walk~ to the venue together.

The Host Mindset

This isn't just another tech showcase—it's a celebration where everyone plays a part. When you join us, you're not just an attendee; you're a host, a friend, a potential collaborator. We expect everyone to:

  • Welcome newcomers like old friends

  • Ask questions that spark imagination

  • Share in the collective joy of creation

  • Leave the space better than you found

See you soon!! 😁✨💯🎉🔥

​What is Socratica?

​⁂ Socratica is an open collective of makers, artists, founders, researchers, designers, and everything in-between. A safe space for our shared love of making things.

You deserve to be here. We know it can be intimidating to start (we’ve been there). Great creative work is historically done together, across backgrounds and disciplines, in small, high trust groups. We’re at our best together, and you are invited. Ɛ>
