Party Report

The first ever edition of ROMA.EXE, and the first new demoparty in Italy in two decades.

ROMA.EXE is a wrap, and what a ride it was!

The party has finished, and it was an absolute blast.

The numbers speak for themselves: over 200 attendees and 97 entries across two unforgettable days of competitions, seminars, and live performances.

We are profoundly grateful to everyone who believed in this crazy project and poured themselves into it. To our tirelessly dedicated Orga Staff, the talented musicians who lit up the live acts, the Fusolab team, and every single person who joined us for the party and the Friday Events: you injected life, energy, and non-stop fun into every moment. Thank you to all who submitted their entries, whether on-site or from afar. This party simply wouldn't have existed without you.

Thanks to all those who supported in the creation the project: Master LRNZ with his masterful pixel placement who inspired so many to visit Rome and our party, the amazing TRSI team and our friends who put their efforts and every ounce of free time bringing to life the website, the invitations and anything else that could have been necessary.

But beyond the figures, what moved us most was how it all came together. Everyone, orgas, artists, volunteers, and attendees alike, pulled in the same direction to make this party feel true: faithful to the demoscene spirit that brought us here. Together you held it to a standard we're proud of, kept it inclusive so that everyone had a place at the table, and safe so that everyone could let loose without a second thought. You made it fun in the way only this community knows how, tasty down to the last shared meal and drink, and genuinely new, pushing boundaries while honoring tradition.

Party after party, line by line, we are building our identity, and we are building it thanks to you.

See you again in…

(yes, there is going to be a second edition!)
