The last Startup-U SV of the year, and we're going to have a special event focusing on Mashups! But this event isn't just for those directly involved in mashups...

This event should be a little bit different than the standard Startup-U. This is for all you entrepreneurs that want to partner with others or build your own tools for others to use in their mashups.

It might be a little bit more technical than your average Startup-U, but this will be a good introduction for those who have heard the word bandied about but are unsure how they can get involved, or how it can benefit them and make their lives easier - and their own products better!

The team at Serena software are all jockeying for a position at this event, and there are some other exciting mashers that are expected to confirm their participation soon.

If you are involved in a mashup already, send me an email (Charles Anderson: canderson@casecentral.com) and we might feature you at the event!

After the introductions, the host introduces a speaker (usually 20 minute presentation, followed by group discussion) or the discussion topic. The exact format varies based on the host; variety is what makes this event so exciting! Note: this will not be a typical event as it focuses on one specific technical trend.
