Startup Weekend Set For Nov. 21-23 In Lexington

Posted by Jason Falls on Nov-11-2008

Lexington, KentuckyImage via WikipediaWhile in Lexington, Ky., recently to present to the Lexington Ad Club, Nick Huhn and I met Brian Raney of ApaxSoftware who is actively involved in something very interesting and exciting called Startup Weekend. It is a national event that brings together the smartest and most creative people in multiple industries (web design, engineering, software, marketing, medicine, art, etc.) to share ideas and launch companies in the course of 54 hours.  By Sunday evening each of the self-selected groups will present their alpha version company to the rest of the attendees which will include local political leaders, multi-million dollar company founders and more.

The event minimizes formal structure to allow for maximum creativity, conversation, and productivity.  It will be coming to Lexington for the first time November 21-23, and will be held at Whitehall Classroom Building on UK’s campus.  The cost is $40 for the weekend and includes food and a T-shirt.

You can sign up here.
