I made it to my first ever Open Coffee Club last Thursday - and I don’t know why I’ve waited so long. If you’re an entrepreneur/entrepreneurial developer etc, you really should join the Ning group, find your nearest OCC, and get along to the next meet-up.

Pretty much everyone you meet at OCC will be eager to talk about their businesses/ideas. However, I’m not sure if the whole OCC scene is only intended for Web startups, but most of the people I met were working on something completely Web-focused. Obviously, that wasn’t a problem from my perspective (and the same probably goes for anyone reading this blog), because it meant I could have some really in-depth conversations on Web business, design and development.

Most attendees will be interested in finding out about, and critiquing whatever you’ve been working on. If you take your laptop with a product demo ready, you’ll inevitably get some great feedback. There’s free Wi-fi too, so no excuses.

I should be attending the next OCC in Waterstones on Picadilly, so leave a comment if you’d like to meet-up. I intend to be in London from Wednesday (12th December) to Friday, so if you know of any other Web tech meet-ups, please let me know in the comments!
