It's time for the Rise of the Designer. Startup Weekend is back in Oslo October 10th-12th and is a part of Oslo Innovation Week. If you're not familiar, Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event where designers, developers and business development folks come together to pitch an idea and launch a business, all in one weekend.  We know and have seen the magic and power of teams that have this dynamic three-part combo. What they build, how they work together, and how they present are what helps attendees get the most out of the Startup Weekend experience and dramatically increases their chances to moving beyond the weekend together.
