We’re busy planning the next OpenWeb Southampton event (a free metup for anyone in the web / social / digital space) and we’re on the hunt for great speaker. The event will take place in central Southampton in the latter part of September (after the Boat Show has finished).
The event has been lucky enough to get some great speakers recently – Paul Boag, Kev Wilson, Jof Arnold, Keir Whitaker, to name a few, and we’re looking to build on this success with the best of local web talent, sharing 10mins of their experience in any relevant subject.
Want to speak? Drop Dan a line at twitter.com/dangriffey and you could be on the lineup for the next event….
Time passes quickly when you’re madly busy with your head in the launch of a web app (in our case www.filesharehq.com) but the next OpenWeb event is almost upon us.
As promised the next event will take place on June 11th 2009 – full details at the following link:
The OpenWeb site is getting a major refresh so we can share more of the great content that comes up at each of the events, so check back for updates.
Remember, this event features Paul Boag of www.boagworld.com fame, if you haven’t heard him speak before here is a sample from the last Bathcamp event….
OpenWeb Southampton is a free meetup for web developers, designers, entrepreneurs and investors. A simple evening to share, inform and meet some people working on great things in the Southampton area. The first event created some great buzz, and set the keystone of an event that will happen regularly, with some great speakers lined up for future events.
We’re pleased to say that new UK based web host (who are also in Southampton) PEER1 are joining us as a presenting partner for the next event, taking place on 15 April 2009.
The MD of PEER1 UK (and ex-Rackspace MD) Dominic Monkhouse will also present his thoughts on Employee Engagement. Sign up for the event here, or find out more details at http://openweb.slipstreamstudio.com
The date has been set for 15th April 2009 at the Royal Southampton Yacht Club, in Ocean Village, Southampton. We have some great speakers and there will be some good Development and Business talks at this event.
We’re pleased to announce that as of today we have launched a new site to accompany the planned (and confirmed) meetup for web people that is happening in Southampton on 12th Feb.
Don’t forget to sign up on Upcoming so we know you are coming, and if anyone is interested we have one speaking slot remaining – contact dan at slipstreamstudio dot com for more info.
Things are moving along and Slipstream Studio is now into it’s permanent offices, in Southampton UK.
We are very aware that we’re not the only Digital Agency in the area (in fact not the only one in our office building), so in true spirit of Open Source (wouldn’t be the web without it) we would like to send an open invitation to web agencies, developers, freelancers and designers to attend the first OpenWeb // Southampton Meetup of 2009.
The idea is simple. We will meet at a small venue, with some Coffee / Beer / Pizza (and WiFi) and discuss / meet / share and learn. Ideally we will arrange one keynote speaker with a topic for the evening.
And hey, look at this, we already have a date! 12th February 2009 – 4pm till it ends!
To kick things off we’ll happily host things here at Slipstream HQ, but if numbers get too big we’ll quickly move to a bigger local venue.
To get things moving, and to learn a little more, join the Google Group for OpenWeb over at http://groups.google.com/group/openwebsoton/ where you can sign up to a simple email digest and offer your help / raise questions there.
If anyone wants to drop us a line direct to help move things along email hello {at} slipstreamstudio {dot} com.
Thanks, we hope that this can turn into a regular great event.
