Startup Weekend Dublin at Google’s European HQ

Hi everyone,

Yes, you’ve read it right! Startup Weekend Dublin is going to take place at Google’s Headquarter on Barrow Street this year. As you may know, Google is a global sponsor of Startup Weekend, so they’ve decided to open their doors to us for the weekend.

We’re working hard to provide you with the very best conditions to spend an amazing, productive weekend and this is definitely great news.

40 coders, designers and business minds have already signed up for Startup Weekend Dublin. You can do the same right here. It’s going to be a memorable 52 hours…

Announcing the Startup wall

First, I think it’s custom to say Happy New Year around this time. May all your startup dreams come true!

Now let’s get to business. In case you didn’t know, Startup Weekend is all for promoting the creation of startups locally. In Dublin, we wanted to go an extra step and showcase how vivid the local startup scene is. So today we’re proud to announce the launch of the Startup wall for the March 2012 edition.

What’s this Startup wall? It’s a big billboard which will be displayed during the event and on which we will place logos of participating startups. It’s available on our registration page for a symbolic price: €25.

This is a great opportunity for all startups operating from Ireland to spread the word if you’re looking for talents, beta testers, or any form of help. And most importantly, you’ll be contributing to helping our 100 participants grow their own world-changing company. I couldn’t imagine any better way to give back to the community

We’re open to comments and questions, so don’t hesitate to fire them right below!

Review of Dublin Startup Weekend – February 2011

Now that the weekend is over, there’s a bit of time to record what happened…

The event had sold out – we sold 70 tickets and had to refuse some people who requested tickets after the sell-out. Not all 70 showed up for the event – there were a few no-shows, but the size of the crowd, at somewhere north of 50, was a good size for an event of this type.
