Topic: Google Startup Weekend: Guest Speakers Jennifer Lee and Mei Huang 

Imagine starting your next weekend by going to the 77th floor of Taipei 101 (yes, great views!), and sharing ideas for a new business with people you've never met before...By the end of the weekend, you're on a team that has launched a new business (a startup). Would you want to do this? 

Whether your answer is YES or NO, at this TIiA session, you'll have a chance to meet 2 people who not only recently participated in a Google Startup Weekend in Taipei, but also won an award at it! Jennifer and Mei are both still university students at NTU. They'll be telling us about their first experience at creating a business (a startup). Then they'll focus on why they decided to do the Google Startup Weekend, what it was like and what they learned. We'll also hear about their current plans and their ideas for a possible future social enterprise. 

OPTIONAL PREPARATION:

--Have a look at Mei's blog  http://meihuang.wordpress.com/ in which she explores ideas about creativity and innovation...

--Get a sneak preview of the book Jennifer and Mei are writing about "design thinking" in Taiwan: http://humarocks.wordpress.com/

--Go to a bookstore and leaf through a book Jennifer wrote with 3 friends about a trip to the east coast of the US: 玩轉自由女神 

Jennifer and Mei are interesting people who've done interesting things! Come meet them on Sat April 28!

For planning purposes, please register for this session by 12 noon on Fri 27 April. Thanks! It would be great to see you!

Cheers
