Some Questions You May Have:
What Does Startup Weekend BiNational Mean?
What makes startup Weekend Binational different is our focus on creating binational teams and collaborating across the border. This startup weekend runs over 2 weekends (January 20th-21st & January 27th & 28th) and teams will be comprised of participants from both San Diego and Tijuana.
What do you mean 2 weekends?
You heard that right! Startup Weekend Binational will span 2 weekends - January 20th & 21st (San Diego) & January 27th & 28th (Tijuana). The first weekend will start in San Diego. We’ll have a week break… or virtual working time in-between and the “weekend” will close the second week in Tijuana.
What do I need to Travel?
IMPORTANT as this is an international event, you will need a valid passport and visa (if necessary) to travel across the border. Please note we are unable to refund tickets after the event starts if you are unable to travel for the second weekend. We will not be able to facilitate travel across the border as you must follow the protocol for international travel.
Do I need 2 tickets?No, you only need to buy one ticket from the city you reside in. California (and other US residents) will purchase weekend 1 passes and Mexico (and other South American residents) will purchase tickets for weekend 2. Non-US participants please purchase your tickets here. This distinction is for currency and transportation numbers purposes.
What should I bring?
Participants will be able to say overnight on TWO Friday evenings - January 20th (San Diego) & January 27th (Tijuana). We will have bathroom facilities available and you should bring the following items:
Will food be provided?
Yes, we will provide food for the event. However, if you have any special dietary requirements or food allergies you MUST need to notify the event organizers prior to the event to make accommodations.
Will Transportation be provided? We are working on providing busing from the border to respective venues*. *Offering subject to change
