# Startupalooza announces date, initial speakers

It’s official! After some stealthy preparation, [Startupalooza](http://startupalooza.org "Startupalooza"), the latest Portland-technology event from the [Legion of Tech](http://legionoftech.org "Legion of Tech") team, has been [slated for March 29, 2008](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/349225 "Startupalooza details on Upcoming"). The event will be held at [CubeSpace](http://cubespacepdx.com "CubeSpace").

What’s the deal?

> Starupalooza is an interactive forum for the Portland tech startup community. It’s where you can find out about cool tech startups, learn from successful tech entrepreneurs and meet local tech-business people. The event features discussions, presentations, demonstrations and networking allowing participants to share, learn and connect in a candid, no-BS environment.

Oh, and I did I mention, **it’s free**?
