Thursday #PHXStartupWeek Highlights
Phoenix Startup Week is a free, five-day event that celebrates entrepreneurs and the startup community. Ending Friday evening, the event features panels, discussions, and networking opportunities that cover a range of topics. More than 75 events have taken place so far, and there are almost 60 more to go between today and tomorrow. Everyday this week the event has moved to a different location around the Phoenix region. This way, visitors and locals can explore the individual areas that Arizona startups are thriving in.
Today the events are taking place in North Scottsdale. Join the conversation; take part in a growing startup scene that is coming together to not only raise awareness around startups, but is ultimately creating a more cohesive startup community. If one thing has been clear over the last three days, it’s that Phoenix and the surrounding areas have a thriving startup scene. We’d like to share Bob La Loggia’s statement about the energy surrounding #PHXStartupWeek. In his article Phoenix Startup Week: Content is not king, La Loggia says, “Yes, something special is happening in Arizona. You can feel it in the air. Our confidence, our communication and our willingness to collaborate are growing by the day.” Lets come together and celebrate the last two days, stop by 3–4 events today and show your support. See you in North Scottsdale!
