Lean Startup Conference Simulcast & Pre-simulcast Workshop

Please register through EventBrite (http://bit.ly/HZWAZs) - unfortunately not hooked into the Meetup RSVP.

Cleveland Lean Startup Circle is organizing the simulcast of this year’s Lean Startup Conference. Join us on the LeanDog boat (1151 N Marginal Rd, Cleveland) for a pre-workshop and/or the airing of Day 2 (http://leanstartup.co/program?day=2) of the conference. We will be showcasing highlights from Day 1 at a later date.

Since the conference is held in San Francisco, the simulcast won’t start until noon EST but we have a full-day of awesomeness planned. In the morning we will have a hands-on workshop that will give you actionable steps to take as you develop your idea and then starting at noon we will settle down and watch some incredible speakers.
