A comment was posted earlier in the week asking what events are relevant for new arrivals in London looking to get involved in the venture/start-up comunity. I was looking for the same in 2004 and posted a short list in 2005. Here’s a revised short list of VC-related events in and around London, no particular order:
Regular events:
Internet People (no link)
Open Coffee
City Zone
Chinwag
Mashup events
Mobile Monday
Geek Dinner
Second Chance Tuesday
Conferences:
FOWA
Symbian Smartphone show
Paid Content UK events
Library House events
Mike Butcher over at TechCrunch UK tends to post lists of upcoming events on a regular basis. Latest list here.
Any events I’ve left off, feel free to add them in the comments section.
Thanks! It’s helpful and I will do some exploring during my midterm break.
Oxford runs a Private Equity Forum every April that is geared towards professionals in the industry. The next Forum takes place the afternoon of Wednesday April 16th. Hey Jason, any interest in moderating the VC panel? ~Steve
