demoparty n.
[demoscene] Aboveground descendant of
the copyparty, with emphasis shifted away from software piracy
and towards compos. Smaller demoparties, for 100 persons or
less, are held quite often, sometimes even once a month, and
usually last for one to two days. On the other end of the scale,
huge demo parties are held once a year (and four of these have
grown very large and occur annually - Assembly in Finland, The
Party in Denmark, The Gathering in Norway, and NAID somewhere in
north America). These parties usually last for three to five days,
have room for 3000-5000 people, and have a party network with
connection to the internet.
