Wednesday: NODE Launch Event

NODE (New Orleans Digital Entertainment) is a new initiative designed to support the growing cluster of Digital Entertainment companies in New Orleans.

Attend the launch on Wednesday, October 26th at the Board of Trade from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. for drinks and light refreshments to learn more about NODE and how you can join.

Wednesday: How to Launch Your Start-up Idea For Less Than $5000

Need help getting your startup idea off the ground? Come join Skillshare Co-Founder, Michael Karnjanaprakorn, as he shares his tips and insights on how to take your concept from idea to launch without writing one line of back-end code. He launched the first version of Skillshare leveraging existing tools that already existed to test our idea (so you don’t need a technical co-founder in the early days!) The class is Wednesday, October 26th from 6:00-7:30 pm at Launch Pad. There are still a few tickets available, so get yours now!

Thursday: TRIBECON 2011 – UNPLUGGED

We’ve already posted a few times on TribeCon coming up this Thursday – but we wanted to make sure you didn’t forget it’s happening THIS THURSDAY. Yes, I said it twice because it’s going to be that big. TribeCon is held annually in association with the VooDoo Music Experience and will be from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm on Thursday, October 27th at City Park. The speakers are off the chain and I’ll be there running around in a volunteer shirt – so do what you’ve gotta do to be in the audience and don’t forget to use the “SBN” discount code for $10 off your ticket.
