Tonight: Arctic Startup and Social Websites

May 8th 2008

Last minute reminder to all those who are in the Helsinki region tonight; get yourself down to Dubrovnik, Eerikinkatu 11, at 6pm tonight.

The event is sponsored by Mysites.com and Floobs. On the panel we have Asmo Halinen from Apaja, Jani Penttinen from XIHA Ltd and Kristoffer Lawson from Scred.

We have about 70 people marked showing up through Open Coffee and Facebook. There are people I know are coming as well who haven’t signed up so it’s going to be a full house for sure!

Looking forwards to meeting everyone there tonight!

Arctic Startup Events continue 8th of May

Arctic Startup EventsMark the 8th of May down to your calendars - we’re hosting another meetup in Dubrovnik Lounge and Lobby to discuss social web applications. We will have a panel discussion with Asmo Halinen (from Apaja Online Entertainment), Jani Penttinen (XIHA Ltd) and Kristoffer Lawson (Fishpool Scred). These guys have first hand experience in running social web services, so don’t miss out!

Floobs has agreed to film the event and stream it online through their service so you’ll be able to tune in if you happen to be out of town (however, you’ll miss out on the excellent networking chances!).

See this page for more information and do leave your comments on the topics of discussion you’d like to hear!

Update: We’re having Jani Penttinen on the panel from XIHA instead of Juhani. Jani is one of the founders of XIHA Ltd. Also, Kristoffer Lawson will be replacing Matti from Fishpool.

Thank you!

Floobs on stage

I’d personally like to thank everyone once more for showing up last night and making the night what it was. I really enjoyed organising an event like that when there are so many interested people and points of views to be told. We received a lot of postive feedback from different people and ideas where to take the event next month.

We’ll start working with Ville on the next event as soon as possible to guarantee a better organised experience for everyone. If you have any feedback you’d like to give us, don’t hesitate to contact me at antti(at)arcticstartup(dot)com and Ville at Villevesterinen(at)gmail(dot)com.

We’ll be putting up the video’s as soon as possible!
