Building Communities, Companies and Projects in Weekends

Columbus Startup Weekend

May 1, 2008 | by Ray Angel

The momentum of the group in Columbus has been in one word amazing.

The group of people working behind the scenes to make a Columbus weekend happen has been a great one. In just a mere matter of days we’ve went from just talking about making the weekend happen to having a location selected, some ideas already coming in, and a large number of people saying they want to attend.

I’m proud to announce today Startup Weekend Columbus will be taking place July 18-20th at the amazing Tech Columbus facility.

The level of enthusiasm in Columbus and the surrounding area has been overwhelming and the bloggers of the area have been talking about the real possibility of Columbus Startup Weekend for the past several weeks. People in the area even coordinated an effort to get votes out for the city and it worked.

I’ve never seen a city rise so fast in a mere matter of hours and the emails begin coming in about what it will take to get the city a Startup Weekend like this before.

The obvious drive and talent of those in the area means that this weekend will most certainly be a successful one.

The fact that the demand for this weekend was so high means that tickets will be selling very fast and that if you want to reserve your spot you’ll need to head over here and register fast. For the low price of $40 you’ll get your fair share of fun, learning, food, free schwag, and networking for an amazing price.
