Due to the fact that Penn State scheduled Parents & Families Day for October 3-5, we needed to move the dates for Startup Weekend in State College.
The event will now begin the evening of Friday, October 24 and conclude on Sunday, October 26. Please update your calendars! Registration will be opening soon.

Startup Weekend was holding off until July to officially announce the event, but the investigative crew over at ISTbuilding.com discovered the weekend’s site shortly after it was launched. Further information, the announcement on the main StartupWeekend.com site, and the ticket purchase system are expected to go live in July.
