    Ever feel like there is just too many cool events and meetings to attend but not enough hours in the day?

    Girls in Tech Boise feels your pain.  In fact, we've gone a step farther - we have COMBINED our June and July meetings into 1 big party.  That's right!  No monthly meeting in June or July.  Instead, come ready to party and celebrate a successful first year for Girls in Tech Boise!

    Mark your calendars now for June 24th and plan to join us and the Boise tech community for a party on the Patio at Owhyee Plaza.  We're starting at 5:30 pm and it'll last as long as you do.

    We are throwing open the doors and inviting everyone - girls AND boys!  Geeks, dorks, nerds, lovers of tech - we'll even let those that don't 'get' tech in.  We know there's a community out there!  Be there AND be square! 

    A big thanks to Solution Pro for sponsoring.

    RSVP here.

    We'll see YOU June 24th!

    Startup Weekend 2: Serious Stakes for Startups

    Posted on: 5/11/2010 8:05:46 AM | Comments (0)


    Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers, business managers, attorneys, startup enthusiasts, marketing pros, graphic artists, and more to a 54-hour event that builds companies, communities, and projects.

    And local startups themselves have upped the ante at this year's Startup Weekend. 

    Nebula Shift, a startup at the razor's edge of incubating successful software businesses, has offered the winning company out of Startup Weekend four months of free office space and resources. N-Shift will also revisit this period at the four-month mark. 

    Peppershock, a hybrid agency in the areas of marketing and creative production, has stepped up and pledged the winning company out of Startup Weekend $1000 of their award-winning services.

    Idaho Technology Council, a premier member-drive technology association dedicated to fostering the growth of tech companies in the State of Idaho, will also provide Startup Weekend's winning biz (with 1-5 employees) a free one-year Technology Membership.  And better, Jay Larsen, the President & CEO of Idaho Technology Council, will kick-off this year's Startup Weekend with a keynote you don't want to miss.

    And where would we be without the additional sponsorship of Red Sky Public Relations, the WaterCooler, and Coding Inertia, Creative Soapbox, and more. 

    How does a startup win?  That's up to a panel of esteemed judges from the startup, venture capital, marketing, legal, and public relations community who will evaluate Sunday night demos.

    Do you have what it takes? The code "tech" will get you 10 bucks off of a ticket in the door.  The rest is up to you. 

    Sponsorship or other questions, hit up Lisa McGrath by email or twitter. See you there.

    @WaterCoolerBOI, May 21, 5:30p.m - May 23, 8:00p.m.
