Where you can meet The Next Web team in early 2016


Where you can meet The Next Web team in early 2016

Here at The Next Web we’re very active when it comes to events and conferences. We’re all about being constantly updated, meeting new people and expanding our network.

Not only do our editors and managers attend events, but members from every team attends at least one event each quarter. Developers, designers, marketing, sales – there is always an interesting conference happening somewhere full of cool things, insights and new connections. In addition to those, we also host meet-ups and other small events here at the Amsterdam office so we can share our knowledge and bring the tech community closer together.

Last year we drafted a conference calendar so everyone in the company would know where people were going and where they would be speaking. That helped us to plan meetings, dinners and our social sharing of every event.

In order to get the most out of this calendar, we’re posting it online so our readers, partners and anyone interested to meet us can know where we will be.

Here’s where you can find us the first quarter of 2016 (through March 31):
