Yes, I've been at two startup weekends (Sydney and Melbourne). They're amazing. Come prepared to pitch your idea (if you have one) and prepared to work on your idea (if it gets up) or with a team on someone else's idea. The winners generally have something more than a good pitch at the end of the weekend. A demo of some sort says a lot more, to the judges, than a lot of fancy slides.
