KickStartz Weekend 2009
June 3, 2009
As promised, you knew I would have to mention my own entrepreneurship event here in South Florida.
The event is called KickStartz Entrepreneurship Weekend. The event will be held at DeVry University in Miramar on June 18-20, 2009. We will have lots of food, a number of industry experts speaking, and will have lots of great prize giveaways. Now the first question I always get is, isn’t this like Startup Weekend? My answer to this is no it is not. Although the format is similar (multi-day event) it has many differences. First and foremost we are a not for profit that selects a charity to sponsor for each event. Additionally, we employ the concept of Open Space Technology to administer the event. We are focused on putting Florida’s startup community on the map. The event at DeVry will be our first but we expect a good turnout. I will blog more about the event as more information comes out as well as how it went.
