What a coincidence, I'm travelling to London this Sunday. I was hoping to go to node.js group meetup the same evening, but this seems much more interesting. See you there. edit: Is there some way to pay via credit card or wire transfer, as PayPal is not available in my country?

If necessary you can pay in cash on the night but obviously we'd prefer if folk paid via meetup as we won't be carrying change or taking many on the spot payments.

Is the number of attendees limited? If so, I'd like to somehow book it.

With the inevitable clashing, it clashes with Josh's Biz Dev for Early Stage Enterprise Startups event: http://www.meetup.com/unsexystartups/events/109255182/

It's literally impossible to arrange a tech meetup in London without it clashing with another event.

Yep hence the word "inevitable" :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Technically it's limited to 400 and we usually reach that figure however we have 'emergency capacity' for an additional 200 so I promise you won't have any issues getting in. Drop me an email (info in my profile) and I'll give you my mobile number so you can call me if you have any issues at the door and I'll sort it.

Looking forward to see a HN meetup in Shanghai, China. Does anyone have any plans? I'd be willing to help organize.

You should put a way to contact you in your profile like an email so that anybody who does have plans can let you know.

thanks for pointing it out! email added to profile

If there are any previous attendees monitoring this, we'd be happy to hear any feedback or suggestions on what you think we can do to improve the event.

Pretty minor, but it tends to get quite stuffy by the time the final speakers are on - if it's possible to open some windows then that'd be good.

I'm considering joining. Just one question (and sorry if it's already answered on the meetup page, I did read it but didn't see the answer). Are the topics usually a surprise or are they related to the sponsors (though I notice your headline speaker isn't one of the sponsors)?

Not usually connected to the sponsors although one of the speakers is due to popular request.

The remaining speakers will be announced very shortly.
