Starting with the first local tweetup I put together early 2009 I really hoped this will become a popular type of event in the Greater Lafayette, IN area. Simply because it really can connect people, like it has proved many times in the process.
What’s that, again? A tweetup?
Since it turned out that not enough people in town really care about an actual “tweetup”, the way it has initially been defined and the way other cities in the world are organizing, a handful of attendees at past events will continue with something new.
Ever heard of TED, Ignite, Pecha-Kucha etc.?
The actual idea is not new, but our concept is. We will announce more details pretty soon, most likely on the local tweetup’s website.
It’s all about seeding your visions, engaging your dreams and involving your thoughts.
Entrepreneurs of Lafayette, Indiana – Our Greater Lafayette in Indiana has many talents launching awesome startups that more people should learn about – this is something we’d like to encourage next year (later note 2010), by organizing local workshops and special startup events. – from LafayeTweetup blog, Dec 2009
Well, ENVOLVE!
Mark your calendar for April 26th, 7pm at Knickerboker Saloon.

On the same topic
March 10, 2010, the local newspaper Journal and Courier published news about another local initiative that seemed similar with ours, a P3 Alliance coming from Purdue Research Foundation and planned as an angel investment network.
SXSW actually talks about the same subject these days in Austin, TX: “Don’t Move! Build A Startup Community Where You Live“. – Yup, that’s about what we’ll be doing.
