Hi Mike
Agree with your comments about the need for pitch training for start-ups. Here at the Gateway to Investment (g2i) programme (http://www.g2i.org), which is specifically for London start-up and early stage companies in all sectors, we have already identified this need and will be running a one-day seminar in mid/late May.
Cheers,
Ian

Mike – a regular list of events will be very useful. Thanks

FYI – The point of doing this – like all other content here – is to encourage subscriptions to TechCrunch UK & Ireland. You’ll note that many of the events have their own upcoming page where you can add to your iCal etc etc

You should create a widget for this which you simply update as new events pop up on your radar.

Any chance the above could come in iCal/Google Calendar format, for easy digestion/subscription?

I know it’s probably a faff, but just thinking aloud.

Good idea Mike, couple of Chinwag events for your calendar (and apologies in advance for the blatant plug, hope they’re useful for some of the TC massive, esp. our first steps in doing something outside London):

Real World Usability in London – Tue 22nd April

Thanks for the list, Mike! This will unquestionably be useful to us startup’y people who want to make the most of all opportunities to meet people.

For the marketing types in new web companies, Fuel Conference might be a good one too? http://fuel-conference.com/

Terribly sorry. Decided to postpone next Northern StartUp 2.0 event scheduled for 10th April to May, as I need to get both http://www.edocr.com and myself ready for http://www.webmission08.com. The May event will focus on:

1st half – the importance of Silicon Vally – Webmission08 (manoj) + DemoFall (Anish from Yuuguu)
2nd half – Investment readiness – panel discussion with VCs and entrepreneurs

If you are interested in speaking or attending, drop me an e-mail through http://www.nwstartup20.co.uk contact us.

Once again, terribly sorry about the 10th.

Great initiative. Biweekly is probably sufficient, but definately very helpful.

Tried to check out the Northern Startup Business site, but it’s giving all errors on me. Looks like drupal is bugging..

Just a tip to http://barcamp.org/BarCampLondon4 and Going Digital and @media that you might want to include in your next post.

Hey Mike,

What about FOWD London on the 17th and 18th April?
