Memphis Startup Weekend
Posted by Andrew Hyde
About two months ago I was contacted by Harry Brown, requesting that Memphis be added to the list of Startup Weekend location possibilities. Memphis’s community motivated, and launched themselves to the top of the list. Memphis, (a place known for it’s BBQ and tradition, and not necessarily their tech startup talent) has really impressed me in how their community got together.We talked about location, and Harry introduced me to Eric Mathews of Mercury Labs. I have heard great things about what Eric, and others are doing to accelerate the tech development in the area.
The Memphis Startup Weekend will be May 30- June 1 2008.
So, you can buy your ticket for the Memphis Startup Weekend here, and visit the event blog here.
Any questions? Leave them in the comments.
BBQ lovers, this is going to be a good one to fly into.

I’m very happy that it’s going to be in Memphis! We aren’t known for tech startups, but rather shipping and logistics (largely because of FedEx). But I believe there is a strong grass-roots tech effort going on, and I’m one of probably many who has taken a shot at launching an Internet startup and the social space: http://greenis.us
