Hi ladies (and supporting men), hope the summer has been good to you all and Autumn won't be too much of a shock.

Thanks again for a super event this summer, I'm still working on getting a laptop that isn't made of turf to make coding (and life in general) much easier!  Step by step!

I'm helping out with the Galway Startup Weekend and wondered if you might be able to spread the word via your channels or if any of you would be interested in attending? :D

Here is a little bit on the weekend for those unfamiliar with it:

Galway Startup Weekend is part of a wider global set of events called Startup Weekend where people come together over a weekend working together as a team (many people arrive not knowing anyone & leave with lifelong contacts made) to test a business idea. I've both volunteered and participated and got so much from both weekends. 

You don't need to be technical (i.e. developer or designer) but tech people are very welcome. You also don't need to pitch an idea....or you can come up with one while registering, sometimes they turn out to be the best ideas. These are great weekends, you'll make new friends and contacts learn so much and there are lots of really cool freebies too! 

Tickets are less than €20 for students and €40 for everyone else. Food & good vibes are provided, go on, take the challenge, I'm glad I did! This years event is being hosted at GMIT Friday 2nd Oct to Sunday 4th. Any questions pls ask (rose...@gmail.com)!  Or find more info here and tickets here.

Thanks again and hopefully see some of you there!

Rose
