Startup Maine

Attend

Come spend a long, summer-weekend in Maine!

 

Enjoy gorgeous, rocky coastline; taste from Portland’s awarded food scene; and listen, learn, and connect with insightful people in the startup and entrepreneurial community. Just as last year, we’ve made the cost to attend more affordable, and we’ve packed some pretty awesome content into just three days. We understand what time and money mean to fast-moving businesses, and promise that the information, inspiration, and connections you’ll gain from the conference will be well worth the investment.
