EFactor Presents: Marc Nager - Startup Weekend

Marc Nager, CEO and co-founder of Startup Weekend, will share insights on starting Startup Weekend, and why it works!  He will share the ways of bringing a local event on a international platform, from Seattle, NYC, Mexico City, Madrid, Lima all the way to Amsterdam and Cape Town.   The event will cover:

* How to educate local and international entrepreneurs though learning strategies and the act of creating
* How were the ideas of their startups conceived and how were these concepts brought from local scales all the way to international platforms
* How to market both local and international events so that they are sold out everywhere, every time
* How do new marketing and social media campaigns target international audiences?
...and much more!
