What do you get when you bring together interesting people, rapid-fire presentations, challenging questions, and a BBQ grill? Find out Monday, January 30.
The Idea: Put a bunch of really smart people together in a room. Add a BBQ grill, a kitchen, and some good food. Have people present new & exciting ideas. Enjoy dinner together and let the comments, compliments and critiques fly!
Presenters: Dinner's on us! In return, you have four minutes (strictly timed!) to present any idea that you want. Techie, political, revolutionary, or anything! It can be about a company you own, a company you?d like to start, or just something that you?ve been wondering whether or not is possible. We?ll give you a whiteboard, and someone in the audience will be holding a stopwatch. When your four minutes is up, you are stopped (mid-sentence if necessary) and 10 minutes of discussion ensues. Anything goes in the discussion - feedback, criticism, compliments, questions, etc. When the 10 minutes is up, business cards are exchanged and we move on to the next person with an idea.
This is a 4-minute window to express that really cool idea you've been thinking about for a while and get people excited & motivated about it! We will be screening all ideas to ensure they fit into our guidelines.
Listeners: Chip in $5 for a fabulous BBQ. "Grill" the presenters while gnawing on good food.
Note: This event will fill up quickly (there are already several people registered who are not members of Upcoming), and my living room is small, so please RSVP as soon as you can in order to reserve your spot!
