Super Vimeo Meetup, 2009! on Vimeo Staff Blog

by Andrea Allen
June 25th, 2009

Hey everyone,

Last year, Vimeo hosted the first Super Meetup in New York. It was a huge party and many of Vimeans came from far and wide to meet other Vimeans face to face. It was like stepping through the computer screen... I would know... I was there.

And now I'm excited to say that we've scheduled another Super Vimeo Meetup for Saturday, August 15, 2009. We have an amazing line-up of live entertainment complete with video installations, a set by the mix-masters the Eclectic Method, and tons of Vimeo's creative minds and friendly people.

We plan on having a live feed of the event broadcast on Vimeo, so even if you can't make it out, you'll still be able to "be there."

Join the Vimeo Meetup Group. Coordinate plans, share videos, and see other Vimeo meetups happening around the world!
You can say what's on your mind in our Festivals and Contests forum post. We also set up a Facebook Event where you can RSVP if you'd like.

When:
Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 8:00 p.m.

Where:
Monkey Town
58 North 3rd street
Brooklyn, NY

This is going to be a killer party so I really hope to see you all (in real life) there!
