Wednesday: TechCrunch / CrunchGear Berlin Meetup
by Mike Butcher on June 9, 2008


250 people. 27 sponsoring startups. Countless others coming as guests. There’s just one word for the TechCrunch / CrunchGear Meetup in Berlin this Wednesday, June 11: Awesome. Organised with the excellent assistance of our local partner twidox, the event has been made possible by our generous sponsors, listed after the jump.

Imedo.de has kindly offered to throw the networking event at their offices but the meetup, (announced back in May), is now, alas, completely full. So if you haven’t got a ticket now I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until we do another Berlin meetup, which may well be before the end of the year, judging by the enormously enthusiastic reaction to this one.

To keep up with the event live, there’ll be a ‘live community’ on http://blog.twidox.com via Six Groups. If you upload your pictures and/ or videos to Sevenload or Flickr, please tag them with “tcberlin” and use the hashtag “#tcb” when twittering. To join the live stream and for your tweets to also show up, please go to blog.twidox.com and register for the community. When registering, state your twitter account and then your tweets will appear in the live stream.

We hope everyone has a great night. Peter Ha from CrunchGear and I (Mike Butcher) look forward to meeting all the startups and we’ll be doing some live coverage of our own.

    In case you havent noticed: comments 1-7 and 9 – 13 are pretty distasteful spam comments using Nazi names. Especially if you are German like me, you don’t consider this fun but rather pretty offensive. Could you please remove these comments?

  • Ah. I did not really read the names but yes, you might want to remove some of them or you will have unpleasent ranking in the future for na.zi terms due to tc google ranking.

    Btw if you are coming from Hamburg, it seems some of us are going with the 16:05 train, not leaving time though for a quick visit to St. Oberholz. ;)
