FRIDAY 15TH NOVEMBER
Startup Weekend
Startup Weekend, the global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs, comes to Robina Community Centre this weekend.
Startup Weekend is a non-profit organisation that runs events for Gold Coast City entrepreneurs learning the basics of founding start-ups and launching successful business ventures.
The weekend begins with participants invited to pitch their startup ideas and receive feedback from their peers. Participants then join forces in teams in a 54 hour business creation frenzy, culminating with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders.
Startup Weekend provides a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to found companies, meet a cofounder, or learn new skills.
The weekend begins on Friday at 6:30pm and concludes on Sunday night. For more information and to register see goldcoast.startupweekend.org
