Hey everyone, I'm very pleased to announce the successor to last year's wildly succesful first Evesterdam meetup! In 2013 we had around 150 people meet up in a bar to talk Eve, making us one of the largest Eve events in the Europe. This year we're going bigger and better!
We have a beautiful venue where we will hold presentations, we will have more developers and more Amsterdam than before. We also have a brand new website!
Follow us on twitter, like us on Facebook or just check out the website - but above all, come join us in Amsterdam this October!
See you there :)

Assuming a lot of people who show up where also on Fanfest, they all will be speaking english. Just you know... english is learned in the NLs from primary school and up, so almost everyone speaks it. |

Last year there were quite a few brits as well as people from germany, norway, sweden, switzerland, iceland, etc. All presentations will be done in English too.

I have to ask, because I just saw that the tickets were up on the website... ...What does Gé¼36,85 get me, aside from *access* to the Theater? Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising, but that's still a lot of isk for a student. Especially since a train ticket to get there costs Gé¼23+ retour (and that's with 40% korting) and you are looking at a minimum outlay of Gé¼50-100, depending on how 'gezellig' it is (Amsterdam and fancy places aren't cheap. God help you if you start buying rounds of drinks). Presentations I can follow online. I doubt any Dev is gonna say anything drastically new, exciting, revealing etc. They've proven that they don't listen to the player base and push unwanted changes through regardless of feedback.
Basically the format of last year (pub, drinking, stories, a dev) appeals to me more.
Also: "Evesterdam is organised by Valentijn Geirnaert (Dierdra Vaal in Eve) as a 100% volunteer, non-profit event" So a non-profit event charging money for entrance? Why? Because the webshop costs money in order to purchase tickets? Huh? Get a big(ger) pub. Entrances to pubs are usually free ! Huzzah.
Unless ofc you get free drinks included in the price, then It's all good. The only thing I fear, is running out of beer ! |

No, tickets because renting a venue for 150+ people in the center of Amsterdam cost me Gé¼4000. If you feel that the price isn't worth it that is your call, but the majority of feedback I got after last year was that people wanted more presentations and things like that. And the only way to provide that is by renting a venue. And venues cost money. We have more stuff planned but I can't commit to any of that unless we reach a certain number of tickets sold (and thus create room in the budget).
So for now what is guaranteed is a great venue with presentations and awesome Evesterdammers :D

We've recently announced our first set of speakers. We're still looking for more so this is not the full set. If you're coming to Evesterdam and feel you have something cool to talk about, let me know!
The first confirmed speakers are:
* Gnaeus Crassus, Red Frog Freight contract master * Corebloodbrothers, CSM9 council member * Helicity Boson, organiser of Hulkageddon
We've also released our Alliance Tournament commercial, which you can find here!
Lastly we've managed to get a discount at the Volkshotel. Using the code 'evesterdam2014' you can get 10% off your booking!

I'm no maths wizard, but 36,85*150 is 5500+ euros. How did this fun pub meet turn into some Eve Vegas/ mini FanFest in under a year? Don't get me wrong V - I really enjoyed last year and all the effort you poor into E'DA. But unless there's actually going to be speakers list full of CCP it's now worth my 12 beers and I'd rather just hit the pubs with my fellow capsuleers. |

I am on the fence, mainly i want to know what my cash is buying me... I can be there in 30 minutes from my house in Utrecht but i wonder what the money is buying me... Since as previously stated "non profit" and "costs 40 euro" seem hard to reconcile for a broke out of a job guy...
I mean its nice Guard is showing up with his buddies (if only so i can ask him what his "so this is why they hate me" revelation felt like) but i'm IRL poor... Might show up for the drinks you mentioned on the night before though... |
