To run everything, be sure to run mvn clean install in the bootiful-applications/demo, and bootiful-microservices folder. There's a script in the root called build-all.sh. Run that. It may take some time, so get some coffee. You can run each module using java -jar target/module.jar where module.jar is the name of the compiled .jar in the target directory. Alternatively, you can use mvn spring-boot:run in each module.

If you're coming to a conference, you should run the build-all.sh script (or at least the mvn commands in the script) before coming to the conference to avoid the wrath of the conference wi-fi. Also, import bootiful-application/demo/pom.xml and bootiful-microservices/pom.xml into your favorite IDE before relying on conference wi-fi. And, lastly, I'd run mvn spring-boot:run at least once just to force Maven to download everything.
