Startup Weekend

Portland Startup Weekend

You ready?

Startup Weekend is proud to announce that the Portland Startup Weekend will be held May 23-25 2008. This is Memorial day weekend, so plan accordingly. Surprisingly, this date worked the best when a sample from the cityvote project was polled. It will be great to have a nice northwestern spring day on Monday to enjoy as a holiday (which is a huge plus). This will be the 17th Startup Weekend to take place across the globe.

Please blog, twitter, IM and tell your friends about the weekend (and feel free to use this logo and link to this post). Oregon is my home state and I can’t wait to get back.

A nice intimate set will be provided by the great folks at SMtvMusic.com. We already have quite a few surprises planned for the first Startup Weekend in Oregon.

So, you want to get involved? Contact cities@startupweekend.com if you would like to help plan the event.
