I am..
* currently in London
* working at a startup
* as a developer, market engineer, and entrepreneur
Planning to
* Check out Silicon Valley sometime in September, for 2 weeks,
* planning to meet as many people as possible
* tapping into the startup energy.
Can you recommend an event around this time, where I can do this in a scalable fashion?
Many thanks in advance.
Aside from the above sites, also plan to visit a few coworking spaces while you're here. Some are open to the public and its a cool way to meet entrepreneurs and hackers of all kinds. Two very popular ones are Noisebridge (in San Francisco) and Hacker Dojo (in Mountain View)... They're roughly 45 mins drive apart but you can take public transportation to get between the two places. They also house events, classes, and meetups.
There are also incubators that are somewhat open to the public that you can check out (I think StartX at AOL in Palo Alto is one).
Lastly, check these out:
