#iohack 2012 Pitch Night with Startup Weekend!
- June 28, 2012 · 7:00 PM
GDG San Francisco and StartupWeekend are teaming up for another event at Google San Francisco!
Connect with Silicon Valley's community of entrepreneurs and Google Developers!
Pitch Night (part of Night Out with G+) is your opportunity to meet people from the valley and around the world, pitch your ideas, form teams, and take the first steps at making your idea viable.
You'll spend the evening working with your teams to refine the idea, and the top teams pitch to a panel of judges for a chance to win some pretty sweet prizes. Plus, you might just find the right co-founders to continue working on this with you at #iohack!
Participants of GTUGsf's After IO Hackathon are automatically RSVP'd to this event.

- 6:00-6:30 - Check in / mingling / snacks & beer/wine
- 6:30-7:00pm - Find teams based on interests
- 7:00-9:30pm - Refine idea

I'm RSVP'd and would like to attend to meet everyone, but I won't be able to stay for the weekend coding sessions. Should I come anyway just to meet new people, or should I cancel my RSVP to let someone from the wait list in that can stay for the weekend sessions?
Next year I'll be sure to stay for the following weekend after IO (assuming I can get another ticket that is).
