We will no longer use PBwiki for registrations – their free version no longer has the features we need.
Switching to http://twikilist.com/ for the next edition. So if you don’t have a Twitter account yet, now is a good time! Let us know in the comments, so we can add you to the Brussels Girl Geek Dinner Twitter List.
[UPDATE: Registrations for BGGD39 haven't opened yet - this was just a "keep the date free" announcement. Will update on this blog as soon as they do.]
Ladies? Join Bizcamp Belgium on 11 Dec in Antwerp
Registration for Bizcamp Antwerp on December 11, 2010 is now open! Register now and book your (free) spot at the hottest business event in Belgium.
Bizcamp is an unconference organized by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. It is all about learning from other entrepreneurs and about sharing what you know.
It is called an unconference because there is minimal organisation beforehand and the day itself is completely free for all participants. In exchange, participants help to organise, present, take pictures, clean up afterwards, etc.
Anyone can speak at Bizcamp – and everyone is encouraged to do so! There’s only one rule: no commercial speeches. You can’t speak about what you do at
work, but you can definitely share what you’ve learned while doing it.
Have a look at the presentations from the last Bizcamp Belgium to get an idea of the style and topics. Some examples:
- Financing your business
- Dealing with taxes and subsidies
- Things that went wrong and what we learned from them
- Tools that help us do business better
- Building and managing teams / hiring people
- Doing business abroad
- Managing work/life balance
- Sales and marketing techniques
- Starting your business
This is the third Bizcamp Belgium: the first one assembled almost 100 people at The Hub Brussels in late 2009, and the second nearly 70 people at SAP
Lounge in June 2010. This edition will take place at the gorgeous Den Bell building courtesy of the city of Antwerp.
The building (located at Francis Wellesplein 1, 2018) is not far from the public transport – train ride followed by a tram ride or a brief walk – and has plenty of parking which will be available to Bizcamp participants on the day free of charge.
Keep in mind: the number of tickets is strictly limited, and half of them is already gone! Register now at
http://bizcampantwerp.eventbrite.com/ – or if the latest batch of tickets is sold out, subscribe to the newsletter at http://www.bizcamp.be/newsletter/ to be
the first to hear about the next batch becoming available.
See you on December 11!
#BGGD38 And the winner of the @nokiabe Photo Contest is…
Well to be honest, we don’t know yet.
The Nokia people are deciding which picture of last week’s Brussels Girl Geek Dinner is as we speak. They will announce it today some time after 12:00.
In the meanwhile www.nokia.be/c7 went live, with even more prizes to win, like a trip to Thailand!
[UPDATE] The winner is Sara Vermeylen (@techonheels) with this Yfrog Photo:
