"The Start-up Project" - Don't miss it!

Following the success of "The Start-up Project" in Seattle, WA few months ago, Amazon Web Services decided to come to the city near you.  The Start-Up Project is half-day AWS-exclusive event geared towards start-up firms. Amazon Web Services will be holding several of these events in different "hot spots" around the country starting with Silicon Valley, San Francisco, New York and Boston.

If you are founder of a start-up company or thinking of starting one, this event is for you. Its a great opportunity to learn how Amazon Web Services empowers entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainable growth.

From the Announcement:

Who should attend:

• Entrepreneurs, founders and leaders of start-up/early-stage companies, and venture capitalists

Reasons to attend:

• Understand how to integrate Amazon Web Services into your business
• Find ways to cut fixed infrastructure costs while increasing reliability and scalability
• Hear what VCs look for when investing in early stage companies
• Learn from successful start-ups about their use of Amazon Web Services
• Network with local VCs and start-ups from your area

What:

• 2-5pm Presentations on Amazon Web Services, how to attract VCs, and how successful start-ups have built their business using AWS' solutions
• 5-8pm Networking/Cocktail Reception sponsored by a well-known Venture Captial Firm

You need to RSVP for the event as there is only limited capacity in the auditorium (Damn! its not Elastic!). Don't miss the opportunity!

p.s. "Elastic Auditoriums" - interesting isn't it?

Can you record these and make them on-demand webcasts? I'm missing so much when I'm not able to attend these! Thanks!

I hope this is better than the presentation that AWS gave at a recent NY Tech Meetup. That presentation about ec2 felt like a bad math lecture. I barely followed it and I use ec2. I don't know how anyone who was unfamiliar with ec2 could have possibly followed the presentation or been persuaded by it to use the service. Rather than a boring lecture about how ec2 works that only sysadmins could find scintillating, a case study and perhaps a presentation by someone who actually used ec2 would have been much more accessible to and enjoyable for the audience.

Good luck at the upcoming event. Hope it's better than the last I attended.

This sounds great, but some of us aren't in any of those hot spots -- any chance of having something like this on Second Life? :-)

It would be nice if you can record the sessions and upload them up to something like utube.

How about a Chicago event?

Guaranteed sell out...come on, don't be afraid of layovers!

I agree - you ought to make available off of the site. Also, an Atlanta show would be good.
