Let's Play Two

Jun 19, 08 in BarCamp, Startups, Unconference, Web/Tech

This fall Atlanta is going to host its second version of BarCamp and Startup Weekend.

BarCamp Atlanta2 is being planned for October 17 and 18. Michael Mealling is picking up leading the effort from Jeff Haynie. If you want to reach out to Michael try twitter.

Atlanta Startup Weekend 2 is being planned for the weekend of November 7th. I am currently leading the effort again but looking for some folks to help with the effort this year. You can learn a bit more about the first effort at the Startup Weekend Atlanta blog. You can show support for bringing Startup Weekend to Atlanta again by voting here (it's gonna happen).

We are seeking sponsors for both events.

Save the dates. Spread the word. More to come as summer winds down.

Great! I'm going to see about covering the events with live video, if at all possible.

Still, October is a long way off! We need an intermediate get-together or two before then, even if they're just Startup Drinks or some groovy co-working...

Great to see so many events coming back for seconds! Lance, thanks for the leadership. We have been honored to be a part of Start-Up Weekend, Start-Up Riot, and Start-Up Lounge events. If anyone is interested in talking to me about the worth of sponsoring these events please track me down. I'm confident that you will gain much more than just another stack of business cards. Angus

Wow, I can't believe we got over 1600 for Startup Weekend - that's 4x the #2 vote getter!

I can't wait for Startup Weekend2 but with 1658 votes as of June 19th - I get the feeling it will be sold out within days - sweet:)

Can't wait. Sorry to have missed it last go around, but i'm in for sure. I'll see about rounding up some sponsors too.

I suspect that 1,600 number is a little suspicious. Either that or the cumulative reach of FoG and my twitter account is way beyond what I thought.
