Paris Tweetup: Wed, 20th of May

Categories: UncategorizedPosted on May 17th, 2009

I’m headed to Paris on Tuesday, leaving Amsterdam where I’ll be officially on vacation. While I’ll certainly take a break from work and heavy blogging, one of the things I’m passionate about (paid or not) is meeting folks in the social media space.

I’ve noticed that tweetups in the states and Asia are certainly quite popular, but these informal gatherings of the community of Twitter in Europe are slower to respond. I’d love to meet you in Paris on Wednesday, but I need your help.

I’m not sure where we should host it, obviously somewhere near a subway hub, and a place that can scale to a larger crowd if it becomes popular. It’s often at a restaurant or bar, but that’s not a requirement.

What will we do? Meeting folks in person that you’ve been communicating with online is a magic moment, nothing solidifies a relationship like in-person. Folks will naturally talk about their passions, online topics, and if you want, I’d love to talk about the future of the social web –my current focus.

If you’re planning to come, please leave your name and twitter ID in the comments below, and if someone can suggest a place (you can email me at jeremiah_owyang at yahoo.com) I’ll add the venue location to this post.

Paris Tweetup
Date: Wed, the 20th of May
Time: 7pm
Location: Update: LaCantine, they ask you to RSVP
Who’s coming: Leave a comment below
Agenda: LaCantine will provide some small snacks and drinks will be for sale. I’ll kick off a discussion about the “Future of the social web” but just to get us chatting. Then folks can split into smaller groups for dinner, as the evening progresses.

    I really would like to be there, fortunately, one of my coworkers will attend your speech.
  • If you share your photos with http://img.ly/, you could tag people with their twitternames - that really helps remembering who is who ;-)
  • Yo, sorry no one responded to your comment. The event was open to anyone in Paris and is on Twitter.
  • Can't make it up north this evening - any chance for a Barcelona Tweetup while you're on vacation? :-)
  • I really enjoyed it, great time tonight.

  • The other location, called the Mezzanine has offered to host us. I"m waiting to hear back from La Cantine, due to community demand.
  • I'm leaning towards LaCantine, I just tweeted at them to see if they can accomidate us.

    Enjoy Paris!

  • Delaville Café is perfect considering the 2 constrains you're mentionning :
    - it's big : we can easily be as much as 20, and there would still be enough space.
    - it's central : accessible, 30 minutes aways max. from anywhere in Paris.

    La cantine is great too, but i'd rather go for the Delaville.

    My 2 cents.
  • Jeremiah,
    I am happy you finally found time to meet us in Paris :-)
    Will be there for sure (@t_de_baillon)... Enjoy your parisian vacation!
  • Hi

    here's la cantine's website http://lacantine.org/
    and twitter account http://twitter.com/lacantine
  • Andrei Lorman
    Delaville or Pub Saint Germain sound good.

    Will try to be there, if not sent to Switzerland :(
  • Multiple folks have suggested La Cantine, will this work?

    It should be: 1) in a central location for all, access to subway 2) able to scale to accomidate a small-to-medium sized group

    I see there are a few places with that name, what's the actual URL and address?
  • Phil Jeudy
    Twitter, Blog, I don't know where to finally communicate with you! I'm ready to support you, Harry's Bar could be an option.
    Let us konw.
  • In an ideal world, I would bump into you at the airport because I can not be in Paris this Wednesday. Next time. Have a great tweetup and enjoy Paris.
  • Hey Jeremy, as per my Tweet just now - I would suggest setting up the Paris tweet up near the Ecole Militaire subway stop. There are some great (large) open concept cafe's 2 mins walking distance from the subway station and you can see the Eiffel Tower as well (always busy and social place) really good crowd too. Enjoy - wish I could have been there!
  • Claire
    I'd like to be there as well. La Cantine or café Delaville ?
  • @jschawaii
    Too bad the Tweetup is this month. Will be in Paris in June - would have really enjoyed the meeting. Sounds greats though! :-)
  • arrived in paris today and would like to try and make it...let me know where!
  • Alexander Ainslie @AAinslie
    Sounds great. Should be able to make it. Keep me posted. @AAinslie
  • Jeremiah- Would love to have tweet up in India sometime!!

    Try to make it for a trip down here.

    Regards,
    Rahul
  • Debbie, I hope to see you!

    Thanks all, sounds like we need a finalized headcount --let's get the final location figured out Monday or Tuesday.
  • I guess Lacantine.org is the perfect place, it's a coworking place inspired by what Chris Messina has setup in SF (he was there last week, BTW). We would be more than happy to welcome you there, lots of nice places around for food and drinks, and you'll be at the center of the french internet ecosystem.

    Get in touch, I'd love to meet you :-)
  • I hope you'll come to London in autumn! I'm from Slovenia and I nothing similar is happening here - the cheapest and easiest city to visit from all the Europe is defenetly London.

    Have a blast here in Europe!
  • DelaVille cafe is a very good suggestion indeed, Harry's bar might be a little small? What about the last floor of Pub St Germain@ Odeon?
    It will all depend on how many people will gather.
    And le Quai- Quai has a very yummy menu I can only recommand, thx Xtof to remind it, will there be some twollars spirit left in the air?;)
    Looking forward to wednesday!
  • Cool suggestions thanks all. I'll bikecommute wherever you want. One more suggestion : Le Quai Quai - Quai des Orfèvres near Notre Dame. Very peaceful and chic place ;) http://chicstyle.canalblog.com/archives/2008/01...

    Have a nice sunday, let us know and see you on wednesday night.
  • happen to be in Paris this week and am definitely interested (@onoffbeirut) in the Paris Tweetup. Once the place is set, let us know.
  • Paris in May?? Wish I could be there. My fave place. Here's a suggestion for your Tweetup: at the tip of Ile St. Louis is a little outdoor cafe on a miniature "square" with places to sit and stand, and a view of the Seine. http://www.fodors.com/world/europe/france/paris...
  • Delaville café is perfect indeed :
    34, Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, 75010 Paris

    Will be there.
  • As said @philj, Harry's new york bar is a great place next to the Opera (very central too). If needeed, i leave you my cellphone here +33 6 62 19 1337.
  • I would suggest the Delaville Café for the meetup as it's well located and there is WiFi there:

    http://www.delavillecafe.com

    Unfortunately don't think I'll be able to make it :(
  • I'll be there. I guess place will depend on how many people we are, but something central, maybe like Hall's beer brewery (can host tables of 30 peple without any problem).

    If we're only a few people, maybe something around the Opera? Depends on where your hotel is.
