Xindanwei | 新单位 A new way of working | 一种新的工作方式

Dear friends,

We seek volunteers to support our annual Shanghai Startup Weekend, to be held November 23-25 at Haworth Organic Workspace.

What is Shanghai Startup Weekend?

The Shanghai Startup Weekend is the local version of a global grassroots
movements that brings together up-and-coming entrepreneurs with experienced mentors in the start-up scene to teach them how to turn their ideas into reality. Behind the global Startup Weekend movement is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs that has so far hosted over 400 events in over 100 countries.

How can you contribute & what do you get?

Through your contribution to this event, you will be contacted to the rapidly growing tech start-up and creative scene in Shanghai that extends
way beyond the confines of this city. Participating will give you the
opportunity to meet other creative and innovative like-minds, learn from
one another, provide mentorship for junior participants and/or receive
guidance from senior experts in the field, find collaborators and learn how to make ideas happen. All our volunteers, will also be listed on the event web page and be looped into the post-event networking activities through mailing lists and future events.

Please check out below the areas, where the Shanghai Startup Weekend
organization committee seeks for volunteers. With your support and
expertise, we can together turn this into an excellent event and platform
for turning ideas into practice.

If you are interested in joining our efforts, please email to the following
address: Silvia Lindtner (silvia.lindtner@gmail.com) immediately (or before 29 Oct) with your name, brief description of your background and how you anticipate to support Shanghai Startup Weekend. We will have our volunteer gathering at 7pm on 30 Oct 2012 Tuesday in Xindanwei Cafe on Yongjia rd 50.
