Event Details
It's a get together of
people from different disciplines that have an
interest in startups and do a complete startup in one weekend. From
coming up with the idea and making a business plan to pitching, design
and development and marketing. The main goal is to learn from each
others experience and to get a chance to work with a new group of
people and of course to have a lot of fun. More details are at http://www.startupcampcanberra.com http://www.startup-australia.org/startupcamp The preliminary
schedule, details will change, but the lack of time to sleep will stay
:) Non UC or ANU students are welcome to attend, however, you are asked to make a small contribution towards the costs of the event of $25. Friday, August. 13th
