Welcome

“The meetup that launched a thousand startups” – Tom Evans, CEO of BleepBleeps

Since 2011, we organise monthly free events around London for people of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in the internet of things.

We are one of the largest meetups in the world dedicated to this topic with over 13K members.

The organiser is Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino and was organised between 2020-2025 by Dominie Roberts.

Events usually feature three speakers from a diversity of backgrounds (from artistic to technical) and contexts (from academia, startups or industry) who give 10 minutes talks followed by 10 minutes of Q&A.
