Below is an archived version of the Houston StartupDigest Events List – a weekly curated listing of the best tech startup events in Houston. If you would like to get next week’s digest on Monday, sign up here.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

I had a great time yesterday at the first Houston Code Camp at the Microsoft Center. I ran into a number of my digest readers and had a chance to catch up on what everyone is working on with their tech startups and ideas.

Earlier this week, I also had a chance to learn a new skill – live streaming via uStream and recording simultaneously to embed in a website. I was at SpaceUp Houston’s Commercial Spaceflight Panel Thursday and if you missed it, you can still catch the video on SpaceUp Houston’s website now – there are some great presentations by aerospace companies, many of which are recent tech startups.

Have an event you would like to add to the calendar? Or did you really love or hate one of the events from this last week? Let me know – send in your feedback, comments, suggestions, rants and raves to: sarah@thestartupdigest.com or @sarahmworthy on Twitter.
