Event: Cleveland Startup Weekend

The Cleveland Startup Weekend will be next weekend, November 20th-22nd. The Startup Weekend is a type of hands-on conference that allows its participants to come up with interesting solutions to problems they set out themselves. This is definitely a unique opportunity to collaborate with a creative group of Great Lakes advocates in an intense, exciting way.

Here’s some information from Cleveland Startup:

“Founded in 2007 by Andrew Hyde, the weekend is a concept of a conference focusing on learning by creating. It is known for its quick decisions, ‘out of the box’ thinking (oh no, the buzzwords are attacking!), unique facilitation technique and letting the founders show what they can do. The program has already met with success in Boulder, Toronto, New York, Hamburg, Houston, West Lafayette, cleveland, DC and more.

The participants that attend a Startup Weekend decide what they want to tackle over the weekend and come out at the end with several developed companies or projects. Attendees are responsible for bringing the same desire and passion to the project and walk out of the room with the task at hand, in a short 54 hours. Sound intense? It is.”
