This Sunday, the 5th of July, Symbian is sponsoring the arrival of The Travelling Geeks in London, a group of influential bloggers from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Celebrity bloggers, entrepreneurs and thinkers such as Craig Newmark (founder of Craigslist), Howard Rheingold or Robert Scoble will report on innovative technologies in London through blogs, videos, podcasts and social networks. They will help explore how innovation in the UK compares with what’s taking place in Silicon Valley in the US, which I am sure will drum up a lot of healthy debate between all parties.
The venue is the JuJu in Chelsea, free food and drink (until the money runs out!) will also be available to quench your thirst and help encourage conversation. There are still a few tickets available to the event, plus a little yellow duck tells me that the code ‘GeekFriend’ will give you a decent discount on your purchase price!
And if that wasn’t enough, Symbian will be given away branded goodie bags containing a load of excellent freebies to all attendees.

Cool stuff! I wished I could come on the 5th, but oh well.
Meeting Howard Rheingold would have been cool but giving people essentially 1 day’s notice? How long has this been in the works?
Some folks plan more than a day in advance…
David, you are right, we will give more notice next time though it was organised only a week in advance.
