What would happen if a group of brilliant, motivated and entrepreneurial people get together over one action packed weekend to try and launch a company and build one or more Mobile applications?
That is the question that Mobile Weekend attempts to answer. Following in the footsteps of Startup Weekend as well as Facebook Weekend Beta, this event will bring together members of the tech and business community in what we hope will be an intense, yet fun packed, weekend.
When and Where?
Weekend 1: Waterloo, ON – Sep. 12th-14th, 2008
Weekend 2: Toronto, ON – TBA
What?
- Get a bunch of brilliant, passionate and motivated individuals together over a weekend
- Have that group come up with and select an idea for a mobile application (On as many mobile platforms as we can, including web based)
- Build the application(s) over the weekend with the goal of launching a fully functional prototype by Sunday night
- Maybe, just maybe end up with a company to carry forward the idea. If nothing comes of it, we will probably release all code to the open-source community (assuming the participants all agree)
- The key is, this is community driven. The participants are the ones that make it happen (we’re just helping organize the event)
- A great event where we can all have lots of fun and learn
- To grow awareness of the tech community locally and beyond
- A great opportunity for networking within our tech community
- Swag (You know you want it)
