Wow – it’s come around quicker than I expected. Ryan Carson’s Future of Web Apps returns to London in October, along with a brand-new expo event.

Carson’s VP of Sales, Andrew Calvo has told me he’s offering startups a discount on the basic exhibit package, reducing the
standard rate of £ 2195 + VAT to under £ 1000…this gets you a 3m x 3m booth with connectivity and power. Andrew also has a limited number of free booths, so be quick – I’m talking to you Northern startups {afeeda, meecard, kodefoo, Expectnation, Pipe Ten, T3D, Yuuguu}. Get down there and grab those free spots!

By all accounts, everyone I know who attended the inaugural FOWA earlier this year, came away impressed…I’m still disappointed there’s a definite US-bias to the speaker line up, but it’s a pretty good one nonetheless.

We’d love to be previewing Believr and mee:view at FOWA…but the world will have to wait a little longer 😉

UPDATE: I had a bit of a grouse about the lack of a Northern UK stop for the FOWA Road Trip, but I just got a surprise Facebook invitation for a newly added Manchester stop…well done Ryan! 🙂
