Startup Weekend Sulaimani #1 was the first ever Startup Weekend event to take place in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. It was arranged by a group of AUIS students and it took place at the AUIS campus. Following the success of the first event, Startup Weekend Sulaimani #3 was arranged in the same format.
I was lucky enough to be invited and given the honor of serving on the judging panel of both events. More information on the event can be found on their Facebook Page or their specific Startup Event Page.
