Hi everyone, You might know me as @jennyjenjen, an occasional visitor of SD Ruby social events :)
I wanted to let you guys know about Startup Weekend San Diego 3, which is just over a week away, October 14-16 at Co-Merge in downtown. We're offering tech community members a discount to attend. Here is more information about what Startup Weekend is and why we want you to participate - we'd love to see some Rubyists attend, so do let me know if you have any questions! See you there! /Jen Startup Weekend San Diego is an intense weekend-long event gathering entrepreneurship enthusiasts of all talent types to form teams and launch their business ideas as startups in only 54 hours. Startup Weekend is a non-profit run out of Seattle that has held over 400 events in cities around the world. In the span of a weekend, teams of coders, designers, marketers, and business developers will work together to take an idea from inception to launch. Experienced entrepreneurs and investors will join us to act as mentors and advisors for teams. You don't have to bring an idea and team to participate, and any project is fair game. If you have a startup idea, want to join a startup, or are looking to learn from experienced mentors, this is the place to be. Register here and use the code "startmeup" for $24 off registration: http://swsd3.eventbrite.com We are also offering a Sponsorship Special for companies who would like to send two employees to the event. Also included are two additional tickets to Demo Night, a table for promoting your company on opening night, and more! Visit our website at http://sandiego.startupweekend.org for more details. Thanks for your support of local entrepreneurship. We hope to see you at the event!
