"OpenParty" is great fun Tuesday, May 01, 2007
Robert Loch, who is the founder of the Internet People networking event, last night launched his weekly free meetup at his London Penthouse flat in Chinatown.
It's Open Coffee but with BYO booze and hot tubs! The name is my invention rather than Robert's.
I hadn't realised that it was actually the venue of the party that feature in the Channel 4 news item on Open Coffee. Fantastic flat, right off Leicester Square, with a roof terrace.
It's invitation only, but an excellent event for sure. From a networking point of view its much less "speed dating" style than OpenCoffee and people were more focussed on socialising than doing pitches. Nonetheless, you do meet lots of interesting folks and not one laptop in sight nor suggestion of someone doing a demo.
Well done Robert.
