Title: Amsterdam Bitcoin Conference - Reloaded - FREE to attend
Post by: ChrisJ on November 04, 2013, 12:55:52 PM
Amsterdam Bitcoin Conference Reloaded
The Amsterdam Bitcoin Conference (set for 6-8 November) was not shut down properly, prepare for the fork!

What happens when you try to ´cancel´ an event about distributed platforms and Bitcoin… oh wait, that's right, you can't!

In case you don't know the Bitcoin Amsterdam Conference planned for Science Park on November 6, 7, and 8 was cancelled at the last minute so a number of the speakers have agreed to fork the concept and launch our own FREE event.

The show will go on.

Like Bitcoin the Amsterdam Conference still doesn't give a F$£€, and it is going ahead anyway. Thanks to our friends at Knowmads International Business School (http://www.knowmads.nl/) Wednesday 12:00pm will mark the start of 3 days of mayhem enthralled distributed Bitcoin madness. We are going ahead, full scale.

Limited spaces for a full conference event that is completely free of charge.  If you´d like to attend:

Big thanks to Chris and the Bitcoin Wednesday team for managing this event so professionally.

It's a great space with a stage and for food and drinks they will accept bitcoins!

Are there anymore planned because I would really like an excuse to go to Amsterdam but unfortunately this meet is rather short notice for my work.
I was planning to attend the original but at 150EUR it was a little too much.
Hope you guys have a great day!

We could do a live webstream if this interests anyone?

If it's not too much of a hassle for yourself sure, that would be fantastic! Or even just record it so we can watch it at a later date.

Great work picking this up at the last minute.

What I like to see in the Amsterdam Bitcoin community is how people come together and help eachother to restore the event and bring it back even after someone tried to cancel it.  Nice work.
