# Portland Startup Weekend, May 23 – 25, 2008

I am happy to report that [details on Portland Startup Weekend](http://startupweekend.com/portland-startup-weekend/ "Portland Startup Weekend") have just been announced. The event will be held May 23-25, 2008, at [SMtvMusic](http://www.smtvmusic.com/SMtv2/default.php "SMtvMusic").

[![Portland Startup Weekend](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/portlandstartupweekend.jpg?w=925)](http://startupweekend.com/portland-startup-weekend/ "Portland Startup Weekend")Now, that’s not only Memorial Day weekend, it’s also pretty darn close to [WebVisions 2008](http://www.webvisionsevent.com/ "WebVisions 2008"), which runs May 22-23, 2008, in Portland.

Oregon-native and Startup Weekend organizer, Andrew Hyde, has promised that he has a few surprises up his sleeve for this one.

I, for one, am looking forward to doing whatever I can to make this event a success for Startup Weekend—and Portland. And I hope you’ll join the fun.

(To help promote this event, feel free to use the Startup Weekend badge above.)

Just as Portland has made [Ignite Portland](http://igniteportland.com "Ignite Portland") an overwhelming success and promises to make [Lunch 2.0](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/416833/ "Portland Lunch 2.0") a Portland-flavored affair, I’m sure we can show the Startup Weekend folks how Portland puts its own unique spin on these types of events.

> Tickets for Startup Weekend Portland will be [sold here for $40](http://portlandstartupweekend.eventbrite.com/ "Portland Startup Weekend tickets"). This is really a RSVP cost, and you will receive your fair share of food, swag and memories. If you or your company is interested in sponsoring a meal, shirts or massive amounts of caffeine, email <sponsor@startupweekend.com>.
