Startup Weekend Main Event – Sept 14-16, 2012 @ Hamilton, Microsoft, EGL
Here’s the final agenda for Startup Weekend Bangalore from 14th September 2012 to 16th at Microsoft EGL.
All attendees will have a chance to pitch at least one idea in 60 seconds. If time permits, everyone will get a chance to pitch more than one idea. All the pitches are oral pitches, as in participants can not use ppt or any other assistants.

Please make your arrangements to be at the venue late into the night on Friday and Saturday. If you have to, get a cab in advance or car pool with other attendees. If you need a couch to crash on, start talking to other participants when you get to the venue or start tweeting about it using the hashtag #swblr.
