Register for the event here. Please note that we are restricted on numbers, so don’t be disappointed if you can’t get on the guest list (this is strictly an “invitations only” event).
Please send an email to service [AT] chiliconsulting.com if you’d like to sponsor the event. Do the same if you have something cool and “made in Taiwan” to pitch (i.e. mobile tech, a web service, gadget etc.). Use the hashtag “#tctaipei” when twittering.
Special thanks to Chili Consulting for organizing this meetup (make sure to follow the company’s Facebook page and blog for updates).
We hope everyone has a great night and are looking forward to seeing you all on October 5 in Taipei!
Update:
Thank you very much for the huge interest in this meetup. Please note you can’t register anymore.
I’ll be there for sure !
Aargh! I leave for a couple of days to Hong Kong that day… Such a disappointment
Welcome to Taiwan!
This is where Jerry Yang is from isn’t it? I heard he’s back in the Chinese food business. He makes a mean moogoogaipan sauce.
Ah yah, chang ching chao lai lim ming mang chu sing!!!
Yup – Jerry Yang is from Taiwan!
Sorry to hear that Nordic Man, next time you should have him come by to get busier in the garage instead.
“come by to get busier in the garage..”
Huh? Wth did you just say?
Go Taiwan!!!
Taiwan is a unique and productive ecosystem for technology growth and as a result there is a tremendous amount of innovation within the Taiwan high tech industry.
This is a great opportunity for Taiwan to continue sharing this with the world.
We look forward to a great event.
Seriously though, that is one ugly flag, no offence Taiwan. It looks like it was made in MS Paint for filletmignon’s sake. At least the PRC has style. How pimp is that? http://www.aida...PrcFlag7Z17.jpg
lol PRC has the worst flag of all time. Almost a complete rip off of USSR
whoever this genieyclo is, your remark is ludicrous and laughable! Best wishes to all who are going to attend the event!
if you understand the meaning of flag, you will feel that it’s so lovely
Strictly speaking, it’s not “Taiwan’s” flag; it’s the flag of the Republic of China / Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). For many Taiwanese, it carries very ugly associations.
Fee: NT$250 per person
That’s too expensive!
Cough, you consider US$7.70 for a TWO-hour NON-profit event expensive?
lol – ouch. i spent the first 18 hours of my life saluting that flag every weekday morning
but AWESOME tech crunch in taipei! one day…!
@genieyclo most flags look like MS Paint in their static form, it looks considerably nicer when flying – http://j.mp/ZJQZz

Hey, everybody, take it from a Flight Attendant – Taipei Airport has some of the best duty free shopping in the world.
Also, I might add, for all you nicotine suckers, they have awesome smoking rooms in the airport – the air in those is actually cleaner than in the main airport.
They Sell beer in the Subway fast food place there, but there’s an awesome noodle place right near it.
We’ll make sure we get someone there!
Make sure and add that event to http://caltweet.com to increase the attendance.
Cool, I hope I can make it on that that day.
I am here just for watching the national flag of Republic of China, i love it, hah
I am from China
Oh my! will be leaving Taiwan tomorrow. :’(
hmm, you look like you might be a hottie.
Hi,
It’s good thing that TC is now going to Asia. Will it be possible for our company to co-organize this event in the Philippines?
Melvin,
TechCrunch IS actually already in Asia (I am TechCrunch’s Japan-based writer).
I’ll be there. See ya @serkantoto and @Tortue.
