I'm happy to say that this year we're moving to a bigger venue. Instead of Dinkelspiel we're going to be in Memorial Auditorium, which is more than 2x bigger. Many thanks to the Stanford administration for that.

@pg: How many hackers attend each year? I forget to count ;)

pg8• 14 years ago

Dinkelspiel holds 715 but Mem Aud holds 1715.

@pg will the event be recorded/archived and viewable later?

ckrailo• 14 years ago

I was disappointed to see "past years" was just a list of speakers in no discernable order, with no idea what they talked about (or when), no recordings, no slide decks, etc.

pg8• 14 years ago

Yes. BTW, you don't need @s here.

jbp• 14 years ago

>> When: 20 October 2011, 9:00 am. >> Application Deadline: 20 September 2011.

2011?

pg8• 14 years ago

Fixed, thanks.

jaredsohn• 14 years ago

The speakers page still says 2011.

staunch• 14 years ago

Always look forward to watching these talks. Thanks for doing them every year. Really glad that Andrew Mason is doing another one.

dmix• 14 years ago

If you've already been (in say 2010), is there a possibility of going twice?

Timothee• 14 years ago

From personal experience, yes. I've been twice (2009, 2010), but I didn't get in last year, so maybe it's getting too crowded (or I got unlucky :)).

pg8• 14 years ago

Sure; the software is not sophisticated enough to consider multi-year windows.

grandalf• 14 years ago

I had the good fortune of attending last year and it was phenomenal. The presentations were entertaining but the conversations with other attendees were priceless.

dangoldin• 14 years ago

To everyone who's on the fence you should definitely go. I flew to two of them from New York and it was well worth it. The talks are available online but by being there you get to feel the startup energy and meet a ton of motivated, driven people.

jzone3• 14 years ago

I'm currently a sophomore in high school. Am I old enough to apply, and is it worth it for me (I live near NYC)?

pg8• 14 years ago

Yes to the first; you have to decide the second.

rohanpai• 14 years ago

High school student myself here! There will be a live stream so you wont miss out (in terms of content) whether you decide to come or not.

HorizonXP2• 14 years ago

pg: "Thanks for applying. We'll respond by email about a week after the application deadline. Please make a note of your username and password. You'll need them later to confirm you're coming."

Er... what username and password?

kloncks• 14 years ago

I would assume it's your HN information.

HorizonXP2• 14 years ago

I would think so too, except I didn't enter it anywhere, so I'm not sure how the association is made. Oh well, no sense worrying about such mundane details.

noirman• 14 years ago

pg: when will the applicants know if he/she got accepted?

antonID• 14 years ago

"The application deadline is noon PT on September 20, and we'll issue acceptances on September 30. "

canistr• 14 years ago

Do subsequent applications overwrite the old one? I want to apply now so I don't forget but I feel I could write a better application given more time.

pg8• 14 years ago

Yes.

b3b0p• 14 years ago

I went in 2010, but did not apply in 2011. I don't feel I will be going this year either. I just have been too busy and dedicated with my day job to work on side projects/startup projects to feel like I would be worthy of going this year.

I'm jealous still of anyone who gets in and goes :) At least I can watch the videos online after they are posted.

nyg_hakeem2• 14 years ago

is there a link to previous years' video?

Since it sort of worked well last time (http://areyougoing2009.heroku.com/), I updated the are you going app for this year!

dkokelley• 14 years ago

Excited to hopefully make it! I've only been able to watch the streams previously.

nyg_hakeem2• 14 years ago

Is there anybody know where to find events like this startup school(except by reading post of HN)?
