London: People Building Things for NG 2.0

Events
1

Hi All,

As you may already know we have had two events since this question was originally raised on radar.

After speaking to a few dedicated attendees, I believe it is time to step it up a notch. So the first thing to note is that the event is now called:
’Building Things for NG 2.0- London’.
Where NG 2.0 is Nigeria 2.0- in which almost everyone in this community is contributing to one way or another.
In a nutshell NG 2.0 is a new Nigeria crafted by millennials and beyond (Medium post loading…).

The event is targeted at Makers, Entrepreneurs, Product visionaries, investors etc interested in/building things for Nigeria.
That is, you don’t have to be Nigerian to be part of this event, your products/services just have to be mainly targeted to that sector.

Second thing is, there are some things which require input from those who would like to attend/have attended/or attending.
I have created a very short poll of the questions that would help mold future events.

Link to the short poll.

Please, only answer if you are interested in the event and you live in the UK.

Lastly our next event is in the first week of September. You can register here.
You may have seen this on the TechCabal daily digest yes? Yes!

That’s all for now

Feel free to PM me for any questions.

If anyone is thinking of coming along, my brief post after Friday’s event gives a fair idea why you should.

And that’s why this is not a ‘networking’ event per se, but a small group of people with tech and Nigeria in common.

Tomorrow is a MoveBackToNigeria event. Anyone in London attending? Let me know so we can meetup.

Cheers :slight_smile:

Hi All,

Just to note:

Here’s a recap of the last event we had in London.

Excerpt:

So far, so good. But still a long way to go.

On the first Friday of September 2016, we* had the 3rd (but first major) event for makers in London generally building things for Nigeria or closely related.

Aside from the success of the event, we stumbled on some surprising discoveries and revelations about the meetup. Some of which I will detail below.

But before I carry on, here is what Building Things for NG 2.0 is about

Thanks to all those that came. It was wonderful evening. :slight_smile:

Hi Everyone.

Exciting news! We have another event coming up. :raised_hands::muscle:

This time we are raising it up another notch from last time.
(It just keeps gerrin berra berra and berra)

More people have been joining us and giving us some great feedback. We have been listening attentively and we will be announcing some new changes which we are super psyched about.

So if you would like to attend the next one on November 4, please register here. Looking forward to seeing more of you.

Have a lovely day! :grin:

Hey guys,

Just a reminder that if you’re in London this weekend and haven’t registered yet, you should definitely pop over to our event this Friday and get a chance to meet fellow radarians etc.

I would love to meet some more of you guys. A chance to collaborate offline at least and put some faces to usernames etc.

Please PM me for any questions you may have.

Have a lovely day

@ADT,

Nice meetup. I will say this has been one of the most insightful African meetups I have attended in London. I only wished I could stay to the very end. Had to leave due to house emergency. Can’t wait for the next. :slight_smile:
