Join Us For Geeks on a Plane: Europe Edition 2009
Even though the economy is down there are still new technologies to explore, people to meet and ideas to exchange. To facilitate this Dave McClure and I are hosting the first Geeks on a Plane: Europe. We are inviting Silicon Valley & US entrepreneurs, technologists, investors, and bloggers (you!) on a 14-day tour of Europe’s top technology cities, events, and people featuring stops in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Paris, plus a kickoff event in Washington, DC.
We are hoping to have 20+ attendees for the whole trip. So far it's a combination of technologists, VCs, bloggers, and entrepreneurs -- all of them geeks.
The costs vary by the number of cities and events you attend. These are the estimates:
Full Trip (4-6 cities): $1250 all events + travel/hotel = ~$3000-5000
Let us know if you wish to attend. If you are attending FOWA or PICNIC you should definitely consider extending your trip and joining us in some of the other cities. Just fill out the invite request and tell us more about yourself. If you are interested in sponsoring the event use the same form.

This looks excellent, Brady! If Geeks on a Plane Asia is an indicator of the immense value (and fun) that the GoaP tour brings, then people who want to make valuable connections while getting the low-down on the European startup environment should definitely sign up!

This looks incredibly awesome. I can't make this one, but will block my calendar for the next one. It takes significant investment of energy and brainwaves to pull things like this off. Hats off to Brady and Dave.

This looks like an interesting trip!
FOWA is a great conference, with informative talks and a good track-style layout, so I'm sure you'll have fun here in the UK.
Maybe you could include a few lesser-known, more hands-on events in future? If you want to see where the axe meets the grindstone here in Europe, maybe checking out public-sector, educational, and other technology events would add an interesting perspective?
It does sound like a great experience, though... if you like flying ;)

Sounds good but I would suggest to replace it with
GoaT (Geek on a Train). It would be better for the climate.

Nice, and in regard to Berlin: there's the Atom & Bits Camp running on the same weekend where you're planning to visit - maybe you would like to join in on this camp?
Have a look at http://atomsandbits.net/english for details or send me a message if you'd like to get in touch with the organizers...
