Rackspace Startup Program Global Startup Event Guide: March 2013

March brings us the Iditarod, the annual long-distance sled dog race that begins Saturday, March 2 and takes racers from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. United Nations World Water Day 2013 takes place on the 22^nd and is dedicated to world water cooperation. Worldwide music sensation Justin Bieber was born this month in 1994. And, in the words of Charles Dickens, “It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold; when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.”

Within the startup movement, there are plenty of events happening globally in March 2013.

Startups…get involved with the movement and participate in an event in your community. There is no better time than now to build or strengthen your network. Networking with other entrepreneurs allows you to form and maintain a strong circle of contacts that will serve you well for years to come. If you are an entrepreneur with a new idea in cloud computing, an application that makes people’s lives better or the next big thing online, drop the Space Cowboys a note and let us know about it. The Rackspace Startup Program is looking forward to hearing all about it!
