Startup Weekend Cambodia 2 – 22-24 June 2012

Startup Weekend is an intense 54-hour event which focuses on building a web or mobile application that could form the basis of a credible business over the course of a weekend. The weekend brings together people with different skillsets – primarily software developers, graphics designers and business people – to build applications and develop a commercial case around them.

This is Cambodia’s second Startup Weekend and it promises to be even BIGGER and BETTER than the last one! There is increased capacity, hosted at a much larger, more modern venue: Yellow Tower and several members of the Startup Weekend Core Team flying for a visit!
