Introduction:

Ann Arbor is a wonderful town. Some of the most influential entrepreneurs and companies our country has known have started right here in Ann Arbor, including Larry Page of Google, and Tom Monaghan of Domino Farms. But although these bright minds have gone on to found their businesses and succeed, there are plenty of new entrepreneurs ready to prove their worth as well. That's why, from November 11th to November 13th, I'm hosting an event called "Hacka2thon" right here in Ann Arbor. The event is a 36-hour programming competition for computer programmers and entrepreneurs who want to show off what they can build from start to finish in a weekend. My goal is to give just one more reason why Ann Arbor is the best place in the world for developers, dreamers, and doers to make great things happen.

You can read more about the event here, or, if you are ready to register for the event, go here.
