Brisbane Australia - BizSpark Startup Camp for Phone 7 Development

[ceibner @ Microsoft]

Are you interested in Windows Phone 7 Development? Do you already have
your killer App in mind and want to get support while you build it? Do
want to learn from Technical and Business Experts? Do you want the
opportunity to present your business idea to Investors and Venture
Capitalists while networking with other Entrepreneurs?

If you answered Yes to any of these questions, then BizSpark Camp is
for you!

Microsoft BizSpark Start Up Camps give you a chance to get hands on
training by attending a Skills Ramp Up Pre Day , then use your new
skills to build an application – over a Weekend at the Start Up Camp!
With help on hand and the technical skills you learn, you can take
your idea to a functioning proof of concept or even fully functioning
application in just a few days!
