ISSUE 15 Nov 2013
Dear London TechMeetups Member,
Today I am writing to you from lovely cloudy Berlin. This city is crazy, vibrant, and thrilling – just like our TechStartupJobs Fair yesterday! We had a huge success, friendly and eager attendees and inspiring employers. It was the not-to-be-mised event of the evening, but not to worry the London one will follow in this grand steps in just a couple of months.
And something more – in this month’s Drinks and Demo night, 28th November, we will focus on something every startup isinterested in – Productivity tools. We know startups are looking for the most effective and cheapest option out there and this is exactly what we will be talking about. If any of you startups are happy to share their desktop, Ipad or Android to show the kind of Apps they are using and what they feel is a must have, please let us know. We will be happy to have you join us and hear about your first hand experiences.
This is all from me today.
From Berlin, with love.
Mila
