During his time with Startup Mackay, Dennis was the lead organiser for 5 Startup Weekends (similar to mini Shark Tank), 1 Startup Weekend Youth, 3 Mentor Blaze Workshops (think speed dating but with business mentors), dozens of group Meetups and other business and technology workshops.Startup Mackay was a regional tech-based entrepreneurship peer-group. Members were entrepreneurs and like-minded individuals with a passion for technology, business, social causes, and empowering people.One interesting outcome of Startup Mackay (a new coworking space: Split Spaces) appeared due to the support the group was able to give to one of its members by hosting many events there.FB: https://www.facebook.com/Startup-Mackay/Twitter: https://twitter.com/StartupMackayLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-mackay
