Cape Town StartupDigest
With the Cricket World Cup and Super Rugby starting to fill the weekends, here are a couple of events that you might want to fill your week with. From speakers at UCT to the first digital Cowboys for 2011 and a SCRUM event, I'm sure you'll find something worth going to. Don't forget the casual Bootstrappers Breakfast over in the wine lands to end the week off with a bit of networking and mingling.
Cape Town StartupDigest is curated by:
Sheraan Amod - Co-Founder & CEO, PersoneraRoger Norton - Coordinator of Silicon Cape Initiative
What's Going On in the Cape Town Startup Community This Week
UCT GSB Distinguished Speaker Program
When: Monday 28 February, 2011 at 17:00
Where: Exhibition Hall, Portswood Rd, Greenpoint
The UCT Graduate School of Business and our partners Deloitte and Webber Wentzel wish to invite you to attend the first event in our Distinguished Speakers Programme on Monday, 28 February 2011 with Mr Michael Norton, Social Innovator and Founding trustee member of Unlimited UK.
Digital Cowboys
When: Tuesday 1 March, 16:00
Where: Cafe Chic
Digital Cowboys is coming round again and they have booked James Robertson from Effective Measure to come and give us a short presentation on what they do. "We'll keep it short to make sure there's enough time for everybody to catch up and network seeing that it's been a long time since the last DC function." (+ of course there's the free beer and wine.)
The Cost of SCRUM
When: Thursday 3 March, 2011 at 18:00 - 20:00
Where: 3rd Floor, Allan Gray, Portswood Road, Cape Town
Agile and Scrum promises many benefits to organisations willing to adopt this new way of working; improved predictability, better quality, time to market and so on. What is sometimes not so clear is what the cost of implementing Scrum can be. Marius de Beer, an experienced Agile coach with leading Agile consultancy Scrum Sense, will discuss his experience of what some of the challenges are that organisations face in adopting Scrum. He will share the stage with Alwyn van Wyk.
Bootstrappers Breakfast
When: Sunday 6 March, 2011 at 10:00
Where: Seidelberg Wine Estate
The Second "Bootstrappers" gathering of early stage entrepreneurs. This time a breakfast in the wine lands, these events offer a relaxed environment to connect with others in startups and remember why we live in the Western Cape.
