Two Months to Startup Weekend State College!
Just like the summer flying by, so is the time leading up to Startup Weekend in State College! We are now just two months from the event, taking place from October 24-26 in the IST Building’s Cybertorium. The official site is now up on StartupWeekend.com.
We now need everyone to start spreading the word, so that we can get attendees registered. Given that there will only be a limited number of seats at the event and the usual strong demand that we can expect at PSU, I expect spots to fill up quickly.
Additionally, since I am not in State College, this will actually create an opportunity for the PSU entrepreneurship community, as a group of volunteers who are actually in town is needed to take a leadership role and organize the details for the event. There’s much planning to do in the next 60 days. Please get in touch (robert at lionlaunchpad dot org) if you’d like to help.
Startup Weekend Date Change
June 20, 2008
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.
State College Startup Weekend Site Now Online
May 30, 2008
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.

State College leading Startup Weekend vote!
May 5, 2008
State College, PA, is now the leading venue for Startup Weekend. Currently, it has 394 votes compared with its next nearest contender Columbus with 352. Great job everyone, spreading the word via Facebook groups, blogs, and word of mouth!
This is truly a demonstration of the power of the Penn State entrepreneurship community to get the word out - this success, along with the fantastic support of ideas on IdeaBlob. We need to find additional ways to leverage this to further promote PSU entrepreneurs!
