Ask HN: If I threw a technology "science fair" for startups/etc would you come?
Hi all, for a bit I have had the idea of having a science fair version of a startup conference. Sure you would be able to show off your startup, but the point would be to show off cool stuff you have pulled off/interesting visualizations/etc, is this of interest to the community?

How is this different to existing conferences (both hardware and software) where there are a ton of booths and table and people showcasing what they do? Products, services, startups and non-startups alike... Maybe I'm not understanding the difference. Not saying that not differing would affect attendance in any way but I have a hard time answering if I'm not sure I see the personal value proposition. Especially if its just to see what other startups are up to, quite a number of conferences like that around here (probably different for other locations).
Less "what you are up to" more "I have built cool shit, might not be related to our goals though"

I would absolutely go to one in Boston.
