Startup Weekend Cedar City

Hey everybody I don't have any cool pictures or talk of treasure, although Kedrik got Jane's interest with the mention of the treasure.  I talked to Nate earlier and decided to post regarding Startup Weekend.  Which Cedar is hosting April 11-13

Startup Weekend is a cool event where we get designers, software developers and business developers in the same room for 54 hrs and take business ideas from a seed level to a finished product.  The event starts with the idea pitch.  The ideas are typically going to be about a software product or have a software component since the aim is to build the entire idea during the weekend.  After everyone that wants to pitch an idea does the whole group votes to come up with the top 10-12 ideas.  After that teams form around ideas and the race is on.  This video from Startup Weekend is a good overview of the experience.

Our event is going to be great we have a cool venue, we are going to have midnight pancakes on Thursday and Friday night and a chocolate fountain going all weekend.  We are going to make some great businesses and we are working to recruit everyone we can .  If you know any developers, designers or entrepreneur types get the word out.  And of course for you that fit those groups come join us.  We have a sponsorship from Custom Fit training that gives 40% use the discount code NerdUp40 to take advantage of the discount and pass it along, it is available to anyone willing to fill out a short form for Custom Fit.
