Nice event you guys had indeed. Lots going on. Hoping you guys going to do a regular meetup or events at mad-labs. And then to adventure around the UK maybe do some tour de UK

Thanks. I hope to be attending Bitcoin Manchester more in the coming months, I'd love to plan more events due to success of this one. Crypto Tour de UK 🙂

Seen a fair amount of people  turn up for it am sure if can secure a spot once every month or so or every few months expanding and gathering more interest am sure this can become something quite big and spread within the UK. Nice too see you guys had also have a BTC ATM machine setup at the event. Did anyone actually use it or was left on its own in corner of room all alone

Speaking to Ash from Bitcoin Manchester he said the amount of followers they received on Twitter following the event went up so hopefully that means more people attending Bitcoin Manchester

If I had the funds and time I would start a Blockchain Bus which we could use to promote blockchain tech and Cryptocurrencies

The BTC ATM was from SatoshiPoint it was talked about a lot and I believe used a few times.

I think people should chip in more for the events maybe to have some pot for tickets. No ticket no enter I know its all about being community based but I think fees and stuff needs to be at least covered for this to expand and grow and the time taken for speakers to come to the event too. Maybe once and awhile some free events and some ticket events covering your costs and other things that can be bought on the event too.

The reason CoinFest events are always free is because we don't just want to target cryptocurrency fans. We want to reach non-believers, who don't have an existing stake in crypto's success that would justify a contribution to the marketing effort. We just try to encourage donations from long-time Bitcoiners... people chip in locally in Vancouver

I'm definitely looking forward to you hosting the education sessions at the next event, I think this time we have a dedicated area for you with the option of attendees selecting an option when registering for a ticket to say whether they will be attending your sessions or not so I can give you an idea of turnout.

 Looking forward to it all!

Hey guys,

I'm looking forward to CoinFestUK 2017! and I have grand plans for the event. I am organising operating CoinFests around the UK in Scotland, Ireland and Wales to run simultaneous to the England based event.

I may run the Scotland, Ireland and Wales event just for one day but will detail more as time progresses.

I am planning in April 7th/8th for the CoinFestUK

Do you have any examples of them? Does this mean attendees will have to pre-register.

We will be releasing the ticket system, the same one we used (But tweaked a little) for CoinFestUK 2016.
