Can anyone participate?

YES, YES, YES! Of course, we love to have technical people participate, but this is event is not just for technical people.  We are an inclusive group and would love to have companies from all areas: technology, retail, food service, real estate, manufacturing, finance, consulting and more with participants from all areas of expertise, not just technologists including: communications, design, finance, marketing, sales, merchandising, project management, human resources, etc.!  It takes teams of “experts” with a variety of backgrounds to build a robot, just as if it takes to build a healthy business.
