“February 27 application deadline for volunteer web pros (nerds) and nonprofit organizations
Who: The Nerdery seeks like-minded web professionals to join in giving their time and talent to help nonprofits create websites they couldn’t otherwise afford at The Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge
Who Else: Eligible nonprofits (501c3-registered organizations in Minnesota) can apply by February 27 by articulating how nerds could help them do what they do – only better – online.”
Since the original announcement was made just before the holiday season, tickets for Startup Weekend Twin Cities 3 went fast — demonstrating strong demand for the collaborative creation process this type of event offers.
This update includes the release of a few extra tickets, a list of final judges, speakers, sponsors — and an open invitation to get involved.
Startup Weekend is all about community. If you’re looking for an efficient and fun way to give something back, there are two ways to support Minnesota’s next wave of Startup Weekend grads:
1) Mentoring; on either Saturday (2/11) or Sunday (2/12) between 10 -5 experienced tech types can lend some know-how and help advance one or more teams.
2) Observation & networking; on Sunday night (2/12) the final pitches & demo’s will kick-off around 5pm.

MinneDemo Winter 2012 Presenters Part 1:
MinneDemo is a ‘geek show and tell’ where local presenters have seven (power point free) minutes to demonstrate their real, working technology products.
Produced by Minne*, the event is Minnesota’s largest and longest running demo experience. Dozens of companies and products have come through MinneDemo over the years; many have tasted success, others not so much.
For those who didn’t catch a ticket, we’ll have a livestream available right here on the homepage starting around 6 when these nine technologies are scheduled to demo in front of a live audience 500 strong:
Startup Weekend Twin Cities is coming back to Minnesota the weekend of February 10, 11 & 12 at the U of M Carlson School of Management.
Get together in teams to make, do and create:
Startup Weekend is an intense 54 hour event which focuses on developing a web or mobile application over the course of a weekend. The gathering brings together people with different skillsets – primarily software developers, graphic designers and business people – to build products and form a credible commercial case around them.
