TechCrunch Disrupt is a three-day, single-track conference and startup competition to immerse you in the debate about what's changing in technology right now, what's causing it and what we need to do about it to survive and thrive in real time.

Lean Startup Machine is a learning-intensive bootcamp where startups teams are taught how to identify key customers and iterate their products through a framework of Lean Startup tools and techniques. It's like a hack weekend, only focused on validating the market rather than building the product.

Innovate ‘11 is the leading, one-day, networking, conference and exhibition event for businesses to meet other businesses, Government and academia with the aim of making innovation happen – creating opportunity and growth for the future.

You should join this group if you are interested or involved in financial technology, especially if you are at the ideas stage or have a startup. You'll also find it valuable if you just use existing technology and want something better or just want to get involved from a legal, funding or process perspective.

Social media is having a profound impact on how corporates interact with their existing and prospective customers. Join us as and our expert panel as we explore the social possibilities of customer service.

Everyone will meet at around 6.30pm, which will give us all a chance to have a pint before the speakers begin at 7pm. The event is informal, so questions are encouraged. Feel free to bring along anyone - the more the merrier! RSVP at - Meetup http://bit.ly/nVT0tc. Payment Solutions Support for Small Businesses (London, England)
