Dear all,
We’re contacting you about an upcoming event organized by the Bitcoin
meetups of Gent, Antwerp and Brussels in conjunction with the Belgian
Bitcoin Association (BBA).
This sort of “big” meetup, or as Kurt named it perfectly “the mother
of all meetups”, is to be held on the 18th October 2014.
We believe it will be more effective if we throw out a rough plan and
open it to discussion, it’s just usually more productive than waiting
for some inputs without proposing anything at first especially as time
is relatively tight.
We envision a big united meetup (with "talks" + possible "practical
workshops") like a mini-conference. The talks would be in English so
everybody can follow.
What we think it could entail:
* One or few talks (~20mn) specifically dedicated to relative
beginners (some interest for that?)
Maybe at the beginning?
* Some talks dedicated to more experienced bitcoiners
* Some practical sessions or workshop (demonstration? programming?
Setting up a node? A miner?)
* Presentation of existing companies, products, and projects supporting Bitcoin
* Presentation of ideas for future projects
* Relaxed schedule, easy networking
Proposition of schedule:
* 13:00 - 14:00 Welcome, arrivals with some national drinks
* 14:00 - 18:00 Workshops and presentations
* 18:00 - 18:30 Roundup
* 19:00+ Social and rainproof barbecue (RSVP for numbers)
While the individual meetup organizers got together to plan the event,
making it happen depends on the participation of everybody! So it
would be great if we could get as many people as possible to
participate:
* Ask for or propose talks topics/speakers or practical workshops
(speakers 20 mins max)
* We have a location in mind (with rainproof barbecue!) in
Dendermonde, but if you want to propose a location in particular,
shoot!
* If you are a Belgian Bitcoin company, you are very welcome to come
and present what you do
* If somebody has a project, he/she is very welcome to come and present it
The BBA will be coordinating the communication between all interested
parties, so please direct all contact via this address
october-event@bitcoinassociation.be, we can add any volunteer to that
mailing list, just ask.
Regards,
On behalf of the 3 meetups organizers and BBA board members
