2015 dates named for Maine startup week
The second annual Maine Startup and Create Week will be held from June 22-28 in Portland, the event’s organizers announced on Friday.
The weeklong conference — which attracted more than 3,000 attendees during its inaugural week earlier this year — aims to celebrate startups, innovators and entrepreneurs across Maine. It will feature “world-class speakers” at a variety of events, including panel discussions, pitch events, informational seminars and industry “collision sessions.”
The Portland Regional Chamber, Startup Portland and Creative Portland are organizing the event.
The conference also will introduce some new events, including “Learning Sessions,” which seeks to help attendees learn the skills necessary to succeed in the marketplace, covering topics like design, customer acquisition, hiring and prototyping covered.
Jess Knox, the chief organizer of Maine Startup and Create Week, told Mainebiz in June that over 700 people registered for the 2014 event, which enabled them to attend daily panels. Other events, like networking sessions, did not require registration.
"I couldn't be prouder about how the community and the state embraced the companies at the conference," he said.
