Gidsy Meetup - Berlin

There are plenty of good reasons to invite you over for a fun meetup. Spring is here, Berlin is buzzing, and who doesn’t love a little get together? But still the best reason for us is: you! We are so happy you got involved with Gidsy and joined us on this exciting ride, and so it’s time for a proper Gidsy Meetup to celebrate.

Please, save the date!

Date: 21st of April
Time: 2pm to around 5pm
Location: In our office space, The Makers Loft
Address: Adalbertstr.5-6, 10999 Berlin

What’s to expect?

We don’t want to spill the beans too early, but be sure to expect an afternoon filled with relaxed conversations, exclusive updates on upcoming tools for you and the sharing of useful tips. And, of course, we’ll do some activities together. You won’t go home empty handed…

RSVP here 

or answer to support@gidsy.com.

Let the shindig begin!
Your Gidsy team

Connecting in Berlin’s tech scene

Everyone’s heard by now that startups, creativity and technology are flourishing here in Berlin, but we know some of you out there are looking for ways to tap into that energy and meet the people behind all these great ideas. Tobias Jordans has compiled a list of meetups and user groups in the Berlin tech scene that could come in very handy if you’re looking for new like minds to help you bounce ideas around, or if you’d just like to get to know some people in your field. 

Have a look at Tobias’ list on Google+ to see if any of the events could be of interest to you. Some of our favorites:

  • Up.front, a user group focussing on web design and front-end topics
  • Berlin Hack and Tell, a meetup for programmers to share their hacks
  • Likemind Bln, a coffee morning for anyone with tech-related interests 

RSVP for Up.front or Berlin Hack and Tell, which are both coming up on Tuesday, October 11. 

If you have any favorite meetups you’d like to share, leave us a comment!

We’re in a world where exponential change is the new normal. Old economic structures are being challenged by newer ones and networked technologies are changing the way we can distribute resources. For a world with so limited resources, it’s amazing how much idle-capacity we have at the moment. This does not only apply to natural resources such as minerals and forests, but also applies to human resources, such as knowledge, skills, and tangible resources such as tools and equipment.
