The 3rd New Brunswick Startup Weekend will be held on April 25 - 27, 2014 in Saint John, NB.
Startup Weekend is all about learning the basics of starting your own company and taking it through to a successful launch. The weekend features plenty of action, innovation and education.
Startup weekend is 54 hours of idea pitches, brainstorming, business plan development, building basic prototypes and final presentations. The weekends are designed to bring together technical and non-technical entrepreneurs and put them together with mentors, industry leaders, successful entrepreneurs, and other like-minded individuals. They are the perfect environment for you to test your idea and see if it is the next hot start-up.

The previous two New Brunswick StartUp Weekends were held in Fredericton and Moncton.

Maybe your idea could be the next winner.
