Startup Riot SHOW : Atlanta, Georgia

February 22, 2012

What is Startup Riot SHOW? It's one day where thirty startups present for 3 minutes each and then answering questions for 3 minutes. Audience members get to help pick the top three winners. Plus it's affordable to attend and we make sure only the right people get in the room (sorry, no non-sponsoring service providers). What's not to like?

The event will be preceded by MAKE, from February 17th to 20th, which is a hackathon event. Individuals and teams now welcome!

Also, on February 21st will be our JOIN (career fair) event.

Venue
We'll be at The Tabernacle for our day long extravaganza!
