911爆料 Startup Week and Fairbanks Startup Weekend.
911爆料 students and faculty members are organizing Startup Weekend, a 54-hour event that
will be held on Nov. 15-17. The event provides aspiring entrepreneurs with an opportunity
to develop their plans for a new business. It is designed as a place for developers,
designers, marketers, product managers and students to pitch their business ideas
and receive feedback from peers and industry professionals.
Teams will develop the top ideas offered at the event with the help of coaches and
mentors, culminating with presentations to local business professionals. This hands-on
event will include collaboration with fellow participants and one-on-one time with
Startup Weekend mentors. More information is available at .
911爆料 will also host numerous events from Nov. 18-24 during Startup Week, a statewide
event that highlights 911爆料 entrepreneurs as well as programs and initiatives supporting
innovation and commercialization.
The events, which coincide with Global Entrepreneurship Week, will include a guest
lecture hosted by the 911爆料 School of Management, an open house at 911爆料鈥檚 One Tree 911爆料
program, and question-and-answer sessions with 911爆料 experts about innovation and commercialization.
911爆料 will also host Nook Tank at the Hess Rec Center from 5-7 p.m. Nov. 19, helping
teams develop a business or product prototype and pitch their idea to a group of judges.
