Big news in the Kansas City area as I have learned that we will be having a Startup Weekend here April 24th thru the 26th. Now I have never had the chance to go to a Startup Weekend but sounds like something kool to check out.
What is Startup Weekend?
Startup Weekend is an intense event bringing brilliant tech minds together to create companies, projects and great tech communities!
What is the weekend like?
The weekend is fun, mentally simulating and always profitable (2 of those are true)! It starts Friday at 6pm and finishes up Sunday at 6pm, the hours in between are up to the community. Startup Weekend gets everyone in the same room, sometimes clothes and always feeds. What is next is really up to the people that show up, it is your drive and passion that will lead the weekend.
What is the agenda?
Have you ever worked at a startup? Startup Weekends don’t really have agendas, just general times when the building is open for everyone to meet and work. If you are an agenda driven person, Startup Weekend might not be for you. You make the agenda based on the people, ideas and mood.
Sound like something you are interested in? For the KC event you can check out the blog, the twitter feed and if you tweet about the event make sure you use the hash tag #kcsw.
Right now the details are getting ironed out but keep your eye out on the blogs or twitter for any new updates as they become available.
