This event is a showcase of the best of what the Austin startup and creative community has to offer and will be an amazing opportunity to meet like minded professionals. Seating is limited so it will be first come first serve - registration is NOT confirmation of a seat. The events and panels are free and you don't need a badge to participate.

You can also stop by and get a little work done at GoLab Austin (really?!), we'll have free coworking all week!

Saturday 3/10, 3 PMCollaborative Presentation with Nearshore Startup and Avantica TechnologiesEstuardo Robles and John Hitchcock

The Rise of the Nearshore Startup

Competitive pressure to lower start-up costs, the unavailability of local engineers, and the need to rapidly and globally scale an Agile model make it necessary for software start-ups to establish a footprint in the Nearshore region from the very beginning. The session will cover advantages of "Latin America-based Nearshoring" vs. India outsourcing; part or all of your development and customer cycle support/CRM functions; review geos. that are most friendly to young start-ups including Costa Rica, Guatemala and Peru; and provide a roadmap and action plan for implementing a scalable, Agile-based Nearshore vendor relationship.
