Whoot! Denver Startup Week is next week and we are super excited to attend many
of the wonderful sessions that are planned for the week! There is an amazing
lineup of design and development related sessions that our folks are going to be
heading to as well as a few events we'll be hosting ourselves.

We'll be around at various events and should be fairly recognizable in our red
jackets and t-shirts. Please say hi, we'd love to get to know you and find out
what you're up to in the Denver startup scene!

We'll be at the following events and hope to see you there!

## Discovering Compelling Solutions Through Storytelling & Playtime

Tuesday - 1pm to 2:30pm - Denver City Center - Speaker Anthony Navarre

The best solutions to complex and highly technical problems often seem
counterintuitive and unexpected, but in hindsight seem so obvious and simple.
Finding elegant solutions, for many, can seem unobtainable. In this interactive
session, Anthony will explore some practical ways that your teams can work more
creatively together to arrive at more compelling solutions through storytelling
and playtime — no prior genius required.

## Pins and Cues and You!

Tuesday - 5:30pm to 7:30pm - Lucky Strike Denver - hosted by thoughtbot

Please join thoughtbot (and friends) at our Denver Startup Week happy hour at
the VIP and billiard sections at Lucky Strike. We'd love to get to know and hang
out with as many of you as possible. We'll have food, drinks, bowling, pool and
plenty of room for folks to mingle and generally have fun. Form teams if you
like - “Founders vs Developers, iOS vs Android, Sass vs Less” whatever ... let's
just have fun!

## Startup Crawl
