Startup Weekend connects tech entrepreneurs Aug. 28-30
If you’ve got an web-based startup idea, Startup Weekend just might be the place to give it legs. I met two of the people behind this event, Marc Nager and Clint Nelson, earlier this week. And they’re a couple great guys who really want to support entrepreneurs, who have been working hard to make this event successful. It happens in Redmond Aug. 28-30. Marc and Clint invited me to present some behind-the scenes Shine clips, which I’ll be doing at the event on Sunday afternoon at 1pm. Here’s the full scoop:
Startup Weekend is excited to announce our next event at Microsoft headquarters (building 33) in Redmond on August 28th-30th.
Startup Weekend is an intense 54 hour event bringing brilliant minds (entrepreneurs, VCs, developers, designers, marketers, lawyers etc.) together to create a company (or as many as companies as the participants decide) from concept to launch! Interactivity and forging positive, value-added relationships is the core philosophy of a Startup Weekend. Each Startup Weekend is organized and sponsored by people and companies from the local community.
This is an open source event, all entrepreneurs are encouraged to attend! Microsoft experts will be present to provide support for developers building applications. We will have other experts in the startup community speaking as well.

Sounds like an interesting event – and I’m sure SHINE will shine there!
BTW, on the event web site (linked to in your article here), it lists you as speaking on Saturday morning, whereas the speaker info you provide at the bottom says Sunday 1pm.
