This London Ethereum Meetup took place on Tuesday 8th August at the CitizenM Hotel, Tower of London.


Foreword by Myles McDonnell

Ethereum is not just another crypto-currency. Ethereum is a blockchain computing platform that enables developers to create new applications and issue new token types that represent value. The global community can then interact with these new applications, or smart contracts as they are called in Ethereum, without the requirement for a central authority. This opens up a world of possibilities and it’s exciting to see where this new path will lead.


Our second event saw a huge turnout with over 80 people attending — double the amount from our first event. We are still perfecting the format and we had some great feedback from you as to what we can do to improve the evening next time.

We hope that the theme for the evening and the talks from Myles and Richard provided some inspiration for your discussions — we would love to hear more about what you discussed. Do leave us a response on this medium article, or drop us a message on meetup.

As the event is proving so popular, it’s really important to RSVP on the meetup group and I encourage you to keep an eye out for emails from meetup.com where we will announce the upcoming topics, dates and venue. Also, if you are unable to make the event, updating your RSVP will ensure that people on the waiting list can attend.

We’re already lining up speakers and hopefully some sponsorship for the next event to pay for your drinks and some swag — so the next event should be even bigger and better!


Special thanks to:
