Format

We've decided the schedule. You can edit it if you create a user.

This conference will be both a little bit country and a little rock and roll.

There are some seeded sessions led by folks who can tell you what you need to know to make that fateful step from side project to startup. There will also be lots of opportunities for folks to offer their own sessions BarCamp style.

Here is the schedule for Side Project to Startup. If you want to start posting session ideas for the unconference part of the event, you can do so on the wiki here.
