A lot has been going on since our successful November 2008 event (see the 2008 Recap page for more info). Since that time, the core group of us who planned the initial event have been meeting and thinking and doing things to try and keep the ball rolling for entrepreneurs all over the region.
To help with this we have chartered Will This Float? as a fullblown Nonprofit Corporation in the state of Tennessee and created a board to oversee smooth operations. The inital board setup for Will This Float? is as follows:
- Jose Castillo – President
- Todd Smith – Vice President
- Rayford Johnson – “The Hammer” 1
- Rachel Horton – Treasurer
- Austin Moody – Secretary
The little idea that grew out of a GeekSouth meeting turned into something way bigger than any of us originally imagined. Now we hope to maintain that momentum and provide ways for entrepreneurs and thinkers everywhere to turn their ideas into businesses and jobs which in the end will help everyone.
Watch this space for more news to come about a great event in late February or early March of ‘09. As always you can keep in touch by browsing here and sending a message or following Will This Float? on Twitter at twitter.com/willthisfloat.
