- Startup Edmonton and GameCamp Edmonton

Hi everyone -

As part of our initiative to grow Edmonton’s creative entrepreneur community, we’re in the process of finalizing a new downtown space that would house our new startup accelerator programs, offer co-workspace opportunities, and event/meeting spaces. Our vision is a creative hub where artists, geeks and entrepreneurs collide, right in the heart of downtown Edmonton.
We’re looking at a few operating models such as:

• CitizenSpace (SF) – http://citizenspace.us
• The Hub (Amsterdam) – http://amsterdam.the-hub.net/public
• Rocketspace (SF) – http://www.rocket-space.com
• WorkBar (Boston) – http://workbarboston.com

We’d be looking to create a space that can support emerging startups and indie workers focused on software/tech and creative industries. This would include creative entrepreneurs, software engineers, web developers, graphic designers, and product designers. But what we need is your input, and see what kind of interest/commitment there is from our community to make this happen. This will help us narrow down the right space.

If you could take a few minutes to fill out the following survey, we’d appreciate your thoughts. If you’re interested in becoming a member or resident company, please let us know what your needs might be, and we’ll follow up directly with you.

Thanks!

After having a ton of fun at Startup Weekend last year we are super excited to once again bring it to Edmonton in February. February 11-13 we are going to be at the University of Alberta Computer Science building for a weekend of meeting new people, learning new things, and seeing what we can build in a couple of days.

Thanks to some really generous sponsors we are able to offer early-bird tickets at $65 (regularly $100), which includes food for the weekend as well as a startup weekend t-shirt, until January 28th. Get your tickets early as they are going to go fast. Also, if you are a student, the U of A Computer Science Department has generously helped to cover some of the costs of your tickets so there are 20 tickets available for $25.Register to buy your tickets now.

Startup Weekend is an intense 54 hour event which focuses on building a web or mobile application which 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.

StartupDigest is a free curated email of what’s going on in tech & startup communities around the world. It started as a simple idea to help entrepreneurs get involved in their local startup community through events, and has quickly turned into a global media company. StartupDigest has grown from the original 22 subscribers and covering 1 city in November ’09 to 100,000+ subscribers and 50+ cities in one year. Quickly this has grown from a small fun side project into a collective force of 60+ curators and entrepreneurial leaders around the world that provide a ton of value to the startup ecosystem.

Starting in January 2011, Edmonton will be a StartupDigest city! So we encourage you to sign up to http://startupdigest.com, and pick Edmonton along with some of the other cities you’re interested in. If you have a startup/tech event coming up to include in each Monday edition, just email us at info@startupedmonton.com with the details.
