Rackspace Startup Program Global Startup Event Guide: September 2012

September brings us the first day of autumn, Hispanic Heritage Month and International Day of Peace, aka “Peace Day,” on Friday, September 21^st with special activities and celebrations all across the world. Sir Robert Peel submitted the Metropolis Police Improvement Bill to the British Parliament in 1829 to curb the level of lawlessness in the streets of London. This was the birth of Scotland Yard. And, in the words of Lawrence S. Pertillar, “September arrives and autumn begins. The Summer then bows to fall.”

Within the startup movement, there are plenty of events happening globally in September 2012. The Rackspace Startup Program is here to keep you up to date with valuable information on events and happenings inside the global startup community.
