<P><SPAN><STRONG>What is Fashion Technology?</STRONG></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN><SPAN>In a broad sense, it's when fashion</SPAN><SPAN>(what we wear, what we aspire to be, how we present ourselves to society through clothing) meets technology (innovation, a digital presence, engaging online & mobile content.) It's fashion embracing a new and digital component to sell / present their business model. It's where technology and fashion have merged to create faster and more innovative ways to shop, market, educate and ultimately experience the fashion industry whether through software, apps or products. From e-commerce to 3D printing to wearables, fashion technology covers a wide spectrum of applicable use cases.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>Some great examples of fashion tech startups:</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN><STRONG>Why attend Startup Weekend?</STRONG></SPAN></P>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN><STRONG>Education:</STRONG>Startup Weekends are all about learning through the act of creating. Don't just listen to theory, build your own strategy and test it as you go.</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN><STRONG>Build your network:</STRONG>This isn't just a happy-hour. Startup Weekend attracts your community's best makers and do-ers. By spending a weekend working to build scalable companies that solve real-world problems, you will build long-lasting relationships and possibly walk away with a job or even an investor.</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN><STRONG>Find a co-founder:</STRONG>We all know it's not just about the idea - it's about the team. Startup Weekend is hands down the best way to find someone you can actually launch a startup with.</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN><STRONG>Learn something new:</STRONG>Step outside of your comfort zone. With a whole weekend dedicated to letting your creative juices flow, Startup Weekends are perfect opportunities to work on a new platform, learn a new programming language, or just try something different.</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN><STRONG>Get face time with thought leaders:</STRONG>Local tech and startup leaders participate in Startup Weekends as coaches and judges. Get some one-on-one time with the movers and shakers in your community.</SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN><STRONG>Actually launch a business:</STRONG>Over 36% of Startup Weekend startups are still going strong after 3 months. Roughly 80% of participants plan on continuing working with their team or startup after the weekend.</SPAN></LI>
