We are hosting the 2nd Davao Start Up Weekend!!

Starting August 9, 2013, a lot of people will be in our office. This is because the 2nd Start Up Weekend Davao is going to be held here at the Ingenuity HQ and we could not be more excited about it!

Last year, John was invited at the 1st Start Up Weekend Davao to be a mentor to the participant teams. This year, he stepped up to the plate and became one of the organizers together with the IT industry movers and shakers in Davao City, the original dynamic triumvirate of Dulce Lada, Angel Abella, and Gay Viray; Andrew dela Serna of Piclyf & Davao Bloggers; Tom Secuya of Carve; and Bert Barriga of ICT Davao. Ingenuity is also a Platinum Sponsor of the event and our Chief Technology Officer June is also one of the mentors!

We will also be sponsoring the top two teams from our OJT Project Building Program (Team Possibilities and Team Soft Copy) to join in this year's SW. We are looking forward to this event as last year, the 2 teams Ingenuity sent off to join the 1st SW were among the Top 10, with Team JumpIn bagging 3rd place. :)

Startup Weekend, with their tag line "No Talk. All action." is an international event broken down into 3 days (or roughly 54 hours) that brings together developers, designers, prod managers, marketers, investors, and other startup enthusiast to share ideas, form teams, build products, and at the end of all that, hopefully attract investors to launch a startup!

Intensive information dissemination across all forms of media have been done by the organizers and their staff to invite more Davaoenos to come and join.

For more information on how to join in on this event, please jump on down to the Startup Weekend Davao official website.

See you all!
