Did you know that we’ll be part of a worldwide hackfest at our Nov 9th Plano event? Global Startup Battle, which takes place during the 2 weekends bookending Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), will have 10,000+ participants and 1,200+ teams competing in over 100 cities across the world. As a registered SW attendee, you will be able to talk smack to your friends across the country and around the globe while competing for king of the world domination. Have I taken this too far? Well, it’s all in fun. Take a look at the prize package being offered up for the winning team…

• a trip to Rio for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress
• a trip to SF
• $15,000 in startup support services
• $20,000 credit for Google App Engine or Google Storage sponsored by Google

Not too shabby, eh? To join online and get started linking up with people around the globe, a GSB Facebook event has been created.

To be clear, the prizes listed above are for GSB itself, and are NOT specifically for our Plano event. Announcements on the local prizes will be made later.

So don’t miss out on this opportunity. Wouldn’t you want to be able to say you bested all other teams on planet Earth? I thought so. Register here.
