Editor’s note, October 2026: I was the community leader of Startup Weekend Thessaloniki from 2017 to 2025. This was the first of the three events I ran, followed by February 2018 and December 2018. A fourth, planned for March 2020, was cancelled because of COVID, and in April 2020 I worked with the wider Greek Startup Weekend organizers on an online COVID-19 edition. This post first appeared on LinkedIn on April 18, 2017.
Startup Weekend Thessaloniki is back in town and ready to empower your next creative entrepreneurial idea. We are happy to announce that ‘Get Your Hands Dirty’ is taking place from the 12th to the 14th of May at OK!Thess. This is a great opportunity to get your hands into new creations, working closely with experienced professionals, mix & match with like-minded people, network, learn and have fun during a highly creative weekend.
Startup Weekends are 54-hour events where developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups! The weekend is all about learning how an amazing idea could be transformed into a lean & sustainable organization; learning is achieved via the hands-on approach.
