What do Attendees get from a Startup Weekend http://www.startupweekend.org/?
Startup Weekend provides an unprecedented level of networking, team building, learning, and life changes for its attendees and their communities. Don't forget that there will be 5-6 meals and drinks provided. There is a reason that most attendees come back for every event; it's just plain fun and provides amazing opportunities you can't get anywhere else. Sometimes a company emerges, sometimes one doesn't, but every time people leave with more experience, insight, knowledge, friends, and resources than they came with.
