With hundreds of events lined up and more than 10,000 expected attendees,
Denver Startup Week 2016 has something for every entrepreneur, including a job fair, the Denver Startup Week Pitch Challenge and a discussion with
Silicon Valley regular Suzanne Cryer and producer and writer Adam Countee who will take at a panel called The Intersection of TV and Tech Startups.
This year's events kick off with a
Sept. 12 breakfast keynoted by Ryan Wood, a former fullback for the Dallas Cowboys and co-founder of billion-dollar Under Armour. The day will end with a party at
Denver Union Station expected to draw 1,500 people or more.
Beyond being just for entrepreneurs, this year's startup week will feature a
startup job fair on Wednesday at the Buell Theatre. Organizers say that last year more than 40 companies were at the job fair seeking candidates and this year they expect even more companies to attend.
However, what's likely one of the more anticipated events is
The Intersection of TV and Tech Startups, a discussion with Countee and Cryer of HBO startup spoof
Silicon Valley, hosted by Colorado-based satellite TV provider
DISH. They will talk about the show's comedy and the culture of tech startups and participate in a Q&A.
The week will end
Thursday night at Galvanize Platte with the finals of the first
Denver Startup Week Pitch Challenge.
