Ottawa Web Weekend date announced
It’s a technological barn raising; an innovative idea called Web Weekend, modeled after something called Startup Weekend.
The concept is simple. A group of people gather in one place for an entire weekend to conceive a web-based product. By the time everyone heads home on Sunday night, a new company will have been formed with shares allocated based on individual contributions. The first of these Startup Weekends took place in Boulder, Colorado in July of 2007. Since then there’s been similar events around the world including Toronto, Hamburg, San Francisco and London.
According the Ottawa Web Weekend website, Ottawa will be hosting its first Web Weekend, May 9-11, 2008 at theCodeFactory (246 Queen Street).
April 8th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Tickets are now available for the weekend through EventBrite (http://ottawaw.eventbrite.com).
Hope to see you there.
