Stockholm Tech Meetups

Posted on | May 8, 2009 |

I love tech meetups. And although there are many of them here in Stockholm they are not always easy to find, especially not if you’re visiting or new on the tech scene. Because of that i started compiling a list of recurring meetups I like or heard good things about. This list is nowhere complete so if you are missing something, please let me know.

Tweetmeetup

Since Twitter is the hottest thing since sliced bread why not meetup with the twitterati in your city? Every month you can discuss the latest memes with your followers.

Third Thursday

Interaction designers (yes, techie enough) meet every third thursday to talk the latest Signal vs. Noise posts.

Fringe

A new media meetup where you can find interaction designers, hardware nerds and hackers.

Geekmeet

Geekmeet is organized by web developer Robert Nyman and features interesting talks on various tech subjects.

Geek Girl Meetup

This all-girl tech gathering was founded last year by awesome Andie, Heidi & Mengmeng and has already proven to be one of Stockholms best.

Cocoaheads

A must-attend if you’re into mac or iPhone development. Meets on the 1st Monday of every month.

Likemind

This monthly morning meetup is not only for tech people but you can often find a hacker or two sipping black coffee among the media people. Meets at 8:00 a.m. (drop in) on the 3rd Friday of every month.

Stockholm Django User Group

Django and Python developers meets on the 2nd Monday of each month to listen to presentations and discuss the latest news in the community.

EPiServer developers meetup

Writing code for this CMS on a daily basis? Then this is your meetup!

24 Hour Business Camp

I don’t know if this will be a recurring event or not but last time was so great so it’s worth keeping an eye on anyways. Great for starting up a new project or just for a fun hacking session. Founded by micro-entrepreneur Ted Valentin.

OF Syjunta

If you’re into sensors, actuators and OpenFrameworks, this is a hack session you can’t miss.

Wordpress Girls

The girls are definitely taking over. This meetup cover all things Wordpress so if you want to discuss trackbacks, plugins and themes, mark your calendar.

    Great list!
    Some more stuff, at least mildly related, some of which I know…

    Fringe
    http://fringe.nu/
    Gatherings and other stuff for people in the art & technology scene. If anybody wants to do a talk you can talk to me (fredrik@bridell.com), perhaps we’ll set up a gathering. Not related to the TV series. Or the street festival.

    Dorkbot Stockholm
    http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsthlm/
    “people doing strange things with electricity” - you can’t beat that tagline, but they’re also dormant

    Third Thursday
    http://thirdthursday.se is some sort of social thing for interaction designers, in several cities

    Tekniska Museets Nördcafé
