I’ve been hinting at a CrunchGear reader meet-up somewhere in Central Europe and I’ve decided to hold the first one next week in Budapest. I have to confirm the date, time, and location, but I’m looking for Hungarian folks who might have something to show off or talk about to a group of cool, tech savvy readers and I’m also looking for sponsors and/or giveaways. If you’re interested in talking about possible displays, drop me a line at john at crunchgear dot com or Skype me at johnnybnyc or AIM me at johnbiggsnyc. We’ll mention you in all of the posts leading up to the meet-up and you’ll also be enshrined at the foot of Mount Bloggerumpus as one of the cooler companies in the CE area.
That said, here’s what I’m expecting: the iPhone is winging its way to Warsaw as we speak and I’ll be bringing it along to show off and discuss. We’ll then talk about the Hungarian market, then we’ll drink a lot. Gergely Szabó of Webisztan and Index.hu is helping me find a venue, so I’ll let you know by Wednesday where and when we’ll be rocking out. If we get enough sponsors, we might be able to offer some booze tokens and things, so cross your fingers.
I’m obviously coming at this from the gadget angle, but if you have any Web 2.0 ideas, I’d be glad to entertain them. The next stop is Warsaw so please email me immediately as well if you’re in the Warsaw area. I may also do Berlin and/or Prague, provided we have enough interest.
Absolutely amazing… more iphone fluff and promo. The conference is great but I wonder how much Apple pads your bottom line everything. I am sooooo frick sick on Apple, iPod, iPhone, Google, and yada yada yada. SSDD.
Waaaaaaaah ah Waaaaaah
dude. chill.
Yeah, CrunchGear meet-up! When and for how long will you be in Warsaw?
You should come to Zagreb later this month (Southwest of Budapest on your map above)
Ljubljana!
Slovenia (not Slovakia). Look to the left of Zagreb. Light blue country.
I side with Tino (Tino, javi mi se na mail
). Actually, we’re working on an event in September on the island of Krk — why not join forces?
@Mike: I’ve heard you’re coming this way in summer, right? Drop by to say hi! (We met at FOWA if you remember.)
John: Middle of the summer in central Europe and an event in *continental* Central Europe? Think.
And one week’s notice? Listen to Berislav above. You’ll want to do it again next year.
r u coming to Sofia also?
Hei! When in Europe, it’s always a good idea to stop by Tallinn, Estonia
Great idea guys! Keep us posted.
This is a call out to all Berliners. Let´s get a show of hands!!!
John,
we’d be happy to welcome you at our newly opened media lab, Kitchen Budapest. its downtown, in the middle of a zillion cafes and bars. we have a dozen young researchers who would be glad to meet you.
