Organizing a Startup Weekend event is a good idea and it has many benefits. It helps people that work can be done efficiently in a better way, work in collaboration with others to achieve a single aim. As a volunteer, it gave them the sense to work in a team and taking responsibilities making them a good manager and a leader.


Iam interested to organizing an entrepreneurship startup in campus. It's a good way to reach students but we are also face a problem that my campus has hundred of thousands students with many background.


This was a good overview of the steps to host a successful event. This can be used as a template for putting together the stakeholders meeting that UIF candidates are asked to do. The stakeholders meeting is on a smaller scale, but can use some of this advice.


Hosting a Startup Weekend could be a great idea to motivate new entrants to explore the full range of careers.


I appreciate the step-by-step for a successful event presented here. A large-scale event like this is sure to generate lots of good ideas and lead to more down the road!

Advertising and choosing the right date and place are indeed important issues to consider. Thank you for the detailed guide.

Interesting break down

It was a clear and straight forward breakdown of the schedule of a startup weekend.
It gave you good insight on what you should plan for and aligns well with what are team is interested in.
I will be coming back to reference this "how to" article when we start planning events and prototyping sessions.
