Vote for Startup Weekend in Omaha

Omaha December 19, 2008 by Dusty Davidson

Startup WeekendWe're in the process of organizing a Startup Weekend event in Omaha, and we need your help!

For those that don't know what Startup Weekend is...

Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers, business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic artists and more to a 54 hour event that builds communities, companies and projects.

Basically, over the course of a weekend, a bunch of people get together and build web applications. The collective experience of the group is tapped so that by the end of the weekend, the group launches one (or more) applications each which have been designed well, programmed, and marketed.

Here are some examples of applications developed at Startup Weekends around the world...

And many, many more.

Stay tuned for more details including a date for the event and how to register!

One last thing though! We would like all SPN readers and guests to go to the Startup Weekend website, and VOTE FOR OMAHA.. We want to show that Omaha supports, and is excited, about Startup Weekend, and the best way to do this is to register a vote for Omaha!

Very cool. Count me in. I've got several ideas floating in my head, one that I think would be perfect for this.
