Hub Event - Build a Business in a Weekend!

Patrick Hankinson | Event Coordinator

Halifax Weekend is an event being held to build an entire business in one weekend with a team of Designers, Marketers, Programmers and Management.

• Designers: The creative design team will be responsible for user experience, logos, and website design.
• Marketers: The ambitious marketing team will be responsible for pitching the idea to the target audience and figuring out who the audience is.
• Programmers: The geeky programming team will be responsible for building the actual product. They will work closely with the design team.
• Management: The management team will be responsible for drafting a business plan and keeping the team on track.

When?

The event will be held on the following dates:

• March 27th from 6PM to 10PM: The first night will start off with introductions. After, we will dive right into things and everyone can pitch their own idea for a business. Collectively we will decide what business we want to try to build.
• March 28th from 10AM to 9PM: All the members will break off into their groups of designers, marketers, management and programmers. The idea will morph into reality over the day.
• March 29th from 10AM to 9PM: The final day will consist of trying to finalize the business. By the end of the day, we will collectively decide to launch the business or simply open source if we are unable to finish the idea.

Where?

The event is sponsored and will be held at The Hub Halifax. located at 1673 Barrington Street.
