Absolutely. Since that event, I've helped run a few others, to the point where I became a Global Facilitator for Startup Weekend - I just returned from running Startup Weekend Tel-Aviv. I can tell you that you don't need an idea to pitch; in fact, joining a team can be just as much fun as forming your own.

It's fun (and a valuable experience) to pitch. But in some ways, people sometimes get more out of the 54 hours when there's none of the emotional pre-attachment to your own idea, and none of the resistance to flexing it with insights from the team and the mentors.
