Day to business, day to prototype

In order not to deviate from the tradition laid down by our American colleagues, we remembered that, in fact, Startup Weekend was conceived as an event, in which in 54 hours you need to make a prototype of the project.



Now on Startup Weekend there is a place for both business and technology.

Our partners, Microsoft, will help us with the technological part.





Program 4th Moscow Startup Weekend:

February 11-13, at the Digital October Center.

Sunday Technology Day and Prototype

10.00 - collection of participants, registration of web studios and development teams.

11.00 - speed-networking between web-studios and project teams.

13.00 - working in teams, identifying candidates for mentors, continuing personal expert advice. Microsoft experts will help participants to deal with SketchFlow and help them make a prototype of their project.

18.00 - final presentations.



To prepare your prototype, you can download the 60-day trial version of Expression Blend 4 + SketchFlow . BizSpark members can use the full-featured version of SketchFlow included in Expression Blend in Expression Studio 4 Ultimate.



SketchFlow doesn't need programming skills to create a prototype. Especially for you, Microsoft staff prepared a six-minute review video on prototyping and SketchFlow, as well as additional training materials, links to which you will find in the review video.



It is not necessary to use Skece Flow at the weekend, but those who are not too lazy and will quickly create a quick prototype with it will get three nice things:

• Actually, the prototype, which can all happily show. (And to the prototypes, as we remember, the attitude is always more serious than to the presentations in the power point).
• We will add you an extra minute to the final presentation.
• Authors of intelligent prototypes will be able to get free and full access to the BizSpark program right on Startup Weekend.

And we are often asked what to do if there are no project ideas, but we want to see what happens at Startup Weekend.

The good news is that you can just come in and see what is happening with us. To do this, simply register . Registration will last until February 11 inclusive, so you even have some time to think, unless, of course, you are not with us. :)
