London Silicon Roundabout Weekly Newsletter 26 October 2012
ISSUE 26 October 2012 Dear LSR Member, I hope you have all had a splendid week, and that you enjoyed this lovely rain and cold for its entirety. We have a few upcoming events that are not to be missed! Our London Hackathon is right around the corner on 10-11 November, don't miss your change to attend this massive hacking event! With prizes like $500,000 in hosting and over $50k in sponsor prizes, acceptance into AngelHack's Global Hackcelerator Program, airfare/lodging to AngelHack's Silicon Valley Weekend in Jan. 2013, field trips to Facebook, Google, & other startup HQ's, featured placement on CrowdFunding platforms, articles on you and team by top tech blogs, and bragging rights for the next decade, you should get your tickets now before they are gone! On 16 November we will host, "Want to Fast Track Your Startup? Start Building a Community." Here, attendees will learn from the pros how to nurture and build a community from the ground up. Our speakers are the very knowledgeable Richard Millington and our very own Shawn Ghosh. Richard Millington is the founder and managing director of FeverBee Limited, a community consultancy dedicated to improving how organizations develop communities. He is also the founder of The Pillar Summit, the worlds first and most comprehensive course in Professional Community Management. Shawn, as most of you know, if the founder of Techmeetups. Both will share the do's and don'ts of creating a new community to launch your startup up off the ground. We are looking for one more speaker for this event, so if you are a community building guru and would like to get involved, please contact me for an interview. To invest, or not to invest? That is the question. On 28 November we have a finance treat planned for you. In our " Show Me The Money Masterclass," attendees will gain insight into the differing financial opinions of the industry's very successful leaders. Techmeetups are very goal-oriented, and we are quite proud to say that we have reached our goal of having a presence in 20 cities by the end of 2012. I would like to welcome , Moscow, Budapest, and Belgrade to our "cool kids group" of Techmeetups. Joke of the week: "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" Verrryyyy longggg pauseeee..... "Java." That's all till next time....same time, same place! Have a nice weekend, Kaitlin
