The first ever Slush post on #mastodon.

Do you know what Slush is? An annual gathering of 12k curious tech minds in the happiest country to solve global problems. Where founders, investors and media meet for two days in November 17-18.

I have attended 7 times and suggest it to any #techie I meet. A life-changing event for me and the #startup scene in Finland and beyond.

Who is attending this year? Sadly I can't but plan to watch live on slush.org

Well, it seems it was actually the third Slush post ever on mastodon but very early still!

Let's get a list of people attending #Slush2022 by boosting/commenting this post. I would like to follow all of you attending as I'm not able to join myself this year.

Are you #founder #employee #investor #media or #individual this week at #Slush ?

@pekkasipila will you be somewhere in Helsinki though? We could do the meet up outside Slush.

@Setok Yes, living in Helsinki. And outside of Slush is a must for me as I couldn't get a startup ticket this year even as I applied for one.

What are the venues in mind? And the time on friday?

I guess it needs to be after official Slush program has ended so that most people could join. Official afterparty is 6 pm–11 pm. Should it happen at the same time or after that?

@pekkasipila a LOT of people don’t have tickets. Myself included. Side events are increasingly the thing with #slush ticket prices higher. As mentioned, I’d suggest the pub in Tripla. Or alternatively Brokadi authentic Chinese place for dinner. I wouldn’t do too late in the day as people might be tired and also there are many other after parties, so should be before them.

@Setok Oh I see. Do you know any other people yet who could join this gathering? Maybe we should put up a poll to vote on the place here in that case.

For me the Tripla pub sounds better from the two options. Which is the name of it as there are multiple?

Earlier in the day sounds good. Maybe around 6pm then so people have time to get back from work or alternatively just exiting Slush venue?

I'm just working on my master's thesis so timetable is very flexible.

@Setok I have never been to Slush, I have never been to Assembly, I have never been to Nordic Business Forum. People always ask, but I'm not big on events or meetings.  @pekkasipila

@rolle @pekkasipila none of those matter. I’m not at #Slush myself this year. But this is potentially the first ever #mastodon meetup in #finland.

No worries if you’re not into physical meetups. Just thought to tag as you’re pretty damn active here :)

@Setok Yeah, just had to say it because gathering together around the time of the events is kinda same thing to me  

I never say never but to travel many hours just to meet Internet people, it's a big "if"
