Be part of the first StartUp Weekend PEI Food & Farm edition!!
The PEI ADAPT Council is pleased to announce that we are planning our 
first StartUp Weekend event in Charlottetown at the P.E.I Farm Centre on 
May 1 - 3.
“Startup Weekend is a global network of passionate leaders and 
entrepreneurs on a mission to inspire, educate, and empower individuals, 
teams and communities. Come share ideas, form teams, and launch 
startups” (http://startupweekend.org/)
This is an event open to anyone with a business idea and those wanting 
to see growth in our community. Farm and Food is the bread and butter of 
the island and collaboration through StartUp Weekend is a chance to 
breed new opportunity in this sector. Over 54 hours, people of all 
backgrounds come together, form teams, design and develop products, 
business ideas and receive feedback from entrepreneurial leaders in our 
community.

For years people have been told that to be successful you need to be 
competitive. Start-up Weekends demonstrate that the truly successful 
entrepreneurs are those who learn to collaborate.

Whether you are someone who has an idea or an established business, the 
weekend will help you assess your idea, develop a plan, find partners, 
work with mentors and discover potential customers. Overall, it is an 
inspiring, educational and fun time..... a great way to help you ‘Start-Up’!
