NODE.London Subscribers' Gathering

NODE.London is convening a Subscribers' Meeting this coming Monday (30 July) 6.30pm - 9.30pm, hosted by furtherfield.org at HTTP Gallery, near Manor House tube - and you're very welcome.

If it's anything like the recent 'burning of NODE.London beach party', this get together won't be a boring meeting ;) It will be an informal, very social shindig that will bring together newcomers and veterans who are connected to media arts in London and/or who have heard about NODE.London.

Refreshments will be provided, and the evening will feature a range of quickfire presentations, offering fresh perspectives on how NODE.London might build upon its new found energy. Each will be 7 minutes long with 14 slides, or thereabouts ;) Topics and speakers confirmed so far include: 'NM-X - a social networking tool for NODE.London' - by Saul Albert of The People Speak http://www.theps.net
