Nice! Would anyone be interested in organising a HN meetup in Amsterdam?

Videos of talks from past events are online at http://vimeo.com/hnlondon

Always a great night, the talks from the November session are also well worth wacthing http://vimeo.com/hnlondon

Thanks for taking the time to arrange the event. Is there a chance in the future they could be held on weekends or at least later in the evening for those who don't live in London to make it down? Appreciate it's a complicated matter, just curious! Maybe if enough people registered/paid?

Is it worth going to one of these events or similar events if you're just an enthusiast?

Absolutely, good fun, (pizza and beer!), interesting people, interesting talks, friendly, welcoming and well run.

The only reason not to go is if you're not an enthusiast. This is one of the best events in London for anyone into tech and/or startups.

Does anyone know if there are any details on the talks?

Still arranging the exact talk titles and supporting speakers. I expect to have them announced next week.

Does anyone know who you need to speak to if you want to do a talk in the future?

I'm one of the organisers. My contact info is in my profile. Email me with your suggestion and we'll have a chat.

I would love it, if you can share any ideas about activities for such a meetup. A casual one is okay, but more can be achieved if there are fun or productive activities.

Look forward to your ideas!

Some of mine: 1. Snooker competition.. yeah that would be nice to have.. a little knockout tournament among those interested.. no wagers..

2. err.. I'm out of ideas already ! :(

I find poker gets my synapses going :) Any takers?
