Startup Weekend

Posted by Andrew Hyde

This weekend is the Portland Startup Weekend, just after the great WebVisions event (and I have heard some amazing stories about this event).

Sorry for the lack of communication, the person that was in charge of putting together this weekend quit last weekend without notice, and the lack of communication was worse than I realized. If you have any questions, please email me at andrew@startupweekend.com and I will get right back to you. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused everyone.

Here are the quick questions I can answer:

• We are now to be hosted by the fantastic Vidoop at 117 NW 5th, big thanks to Scott and Kevin!
• Starts at 6pm
• Jeremy Tanner and Erica O’Grady, both Startup Weekend veterans will help put on the event

We need help putting on the event.  If you have any spare time this week, we would love to have some help:

• Last minute chatter about the event.  We are almost sold out, so what has been done already has been stellar
• Food Czar, anyone want to figure out the meals?  Free ticket!
• Blogging, we are going to launch the subdomain soon, need someone to do their magic
• Facilitation of ideas.  There have been plenty floating around, does someone want to help encourage this?
• Registration setup help

Feel free to leave a comment or say hello to me at andrew@startupweekend.com and I will point you in the right direction.

Because of my involvement at TechStars, I will not be able to attend the event (also the first week of TechStars).  I would love to come out, but it just isn’t meant to be.
