Mashup Weekend: Eastern Shore is a 26-hour hands-on “roll up our sleeves and get ‘er done” experience in what it takes to bring an idea for a new business to life. The premise is simple…people share ideas, build small teams, and then take action over the course of the weekend to bring an idea to life. Teams will also have access to several experienced entrepreneurs that will provide mentorship and guidance to them as they refine and develop their business ideas.
Don’t have an idea of your own? No problem – jump on a team, meet new people, stretch your creative muscles, and learn what it takes to get an idea off the ground… in just one weekend. Seriously.
Where else are you going to find the people, the time, the space, and the support to test-drive that idea you’ve been chewin’ on?
If you love the idea of getting connected with other talented and innovative people in the area to share ideas, solve problems, and then take action to build something awesome together then you should check it out.
Everybody’s an expert in something. Put your strengths to work for yourself, your team and your community.

FAQ: Are we expected to be in the room the whole weekend? Are we required to stay until closing time every evening?
The short answer is ’No’ – we’re not going to lock you in the room and keep you there. The team, and the individuals on the team, determine their own work plan for the weekend. The facility is available to teams until 10pm on Friday evening and as early as 8:30am on Saturday morning (and yes, there will be lots of coffee on hand!), but it is up to the team to decide when they need to collaborate together, when they can be working on things separately, and how late in to the evening they want to stay to get stuff done.
If there is a short period of time over the course Mashup Weekend that you need to be absent, we ask that you let your fellow team members know on Friday evening so that you can plan around it. That said, Mashup Weekend is really about giving yourself the time and the space to focus, learn, and take action. It is not really fair to yourself – or your team – if you’re checkin’ out to do other stuff.
