MinneDemo, a popular event that lets promising entrepreneurs demonstrate their technology to others, will be held for the first time outside the Twin Cities.

The April 12th event at St. Cloud University is expected to draw more than 200 people.

Rob Weber, one of MinneDemo's organizers, said he hopes holding the event there will bring more awareness to St. Cloud area businesses. Weber is co-founder and vice president of business development for Sartell-based software and app distributor W3i.
