November 20-22 saw the return of Startup Weekend to Lancaster. This year we had over 60 participants, from numerous countries! Lots of ideas were pitched, teams (one the size of a football team!) were formed and off they went to work.
This year, I didn’t participate as I was an organiser. However that doesn’t mean I missed out – far from it!
I got to experience organising and running a large event, but I also got to spend a weekend messing around, playing games and talking enterprise!
Here’s a little example of what I mean….
Of course, at times, I had to take things seriously, even with distractions all around…
But in the end, we pulled through and delivered a very successful event! Just last night, this was recognised as we (Lancaster Entrepreneurs) won LUMS event of the year!
Anyway, back to Startup Weekend. The only way to really know what happened is to check out the event’s live blog, FULL of pictures, videos, quotes and stories!
Just to finished off, and sum up my involvement in the weekend, here is the (short version) of the event’s highlight video, enjoy!
