We're still planning this @RichardA, there will be a launch event for sure, the scale of which is not clear yet. Unlike 'other' projects that will remain nameless, spending dozens of thousands of dollars on fancy bars and hiring 'booth babes' is not our thing.
Here's an idea: post your suggestions on this thread and let's see what we can come up with! Cheers.
Thanks for getting back to me, I look forward coming along if I can. Hopefully the event can be as inclusive and fun as possible. Something that celebrates the hard work that has gone in to building Ethereum and also looks to the future at what will soon be possible. Some inspiring talk and a good bar in a fairly central venue would be great with me.
With so many great forward thinking and smart people connected to Ethereum I think this will be the type of event that I would like to say I was there for, the exact details of the event will not matter much.
Suggest you can organize event during large tech conference, like Techweek, NOAH Conference or TechCrunch. Many people travel to these conferences by work and they can combine it with meetup.
