Our video streaming partner for The Europas Awards last night was Techfluff.tv, which also produces awesome corporate videos under the Newspepper brand, featuring the irrepressible Hermione Way. Here’s their take on the event:
The first part of our panel on “Where is Europe now?” featuring Sarah Lacy, Tariq Krim, Stefan Glaenzer, Brent Hoberman and Michael Birch.

Here’s a little impromptu moment after the awards. Thanks everyone!
And below are the official pictures from the event so far. Please go and add a tag with your name (e.g. “mikebutcher”) on the images on Flickr so we know how to title them. Images are available for non-commercial use (for instance you are welcome to add them to your blog post or company site in your coverage of the awards). If you require any photos in print quality, you can get them directly from our photographer Dirk Lindner.
BTW, you may recall the rather odd lady who tried and failed to present an award. Introduced as Susan Thompson from Nexus Ventures, she looked like she was having an asthma attack onstage before she was whisked off. However, she was actually comedian and former T4 presenter Olivia Lee filming a segment for her new show for Comedy Central. We thought it would be funny… well…. at least it was for the first minute or so!

What a night! And Mike got an award as well.
I will put some of my videos up later.
Brilliant night Mike. When i was at SXSW in Austin this year they had mega tech parties…i was wondering why we don’t have more like that in the UK… well now we do! -The Europas!
Got hours of footage and interviews- just editing it all…More rolling out on http://techfluff.tv in the next couple of days!
It really was a great night – even the dodgy comedy sketch with Olivia! I’d just like to put it out there that I didn’t actually know it was a ‘joke’ when I whisked her off stage, lol.
Looking forward to the next TC UK event, and keeping an eye on @2_Pears, to see what they come up with.
Well done guys.
What an amazing night.
Well done to everyone who won awards and the fellow pitchers!
Thank you Mike for giving us the opportunity. Owe you one.

PS. Olivia you had me going
was a bit torn seeing london and Zurich talent in one room but voted for Amazee, nominated in social innovation.
because I feel they are leading the way to what we all be doing in the future, collaborating meaningfully
I’ve heard that there was a pitch competition as well on the night. Can we hear more about that? Who pitched and how did they do?
