3/ The venue for tonight's #DFINITYMeetup1025 is Planet One in #Shanghai , a futuristic and chic e-sports themed restaurant/party destination. We thought we could do better than boring hotel function halls (meh...). It's got VR games, immersive huge screens and open bar.
4/ #DFINITYMeetup1025 will see many developers, investors, researchers and community leaders from #ICP , #crypto and #blockchain . It will also draw sizable crowd from "traditional" industries including art, game, AI, chip, cloud computing, e-sports, real estate, retail, social..
5/ I'll add more tweets to this ever expanding tweetstorm. WARNING: this will be a very long series.
I'm thinking People of #InternetComputer , similar to @peopleofnewyork .
All are welcome to tag your tweets under #DFINITYMeetup1025 . Let's get the party started!

8/ We prepared a variety of swags and collaterals for #ICP supporters , such as #motoko pressure ball, baby sneakers, craft beer and T-shirts. They all got grabbed away quickly. Should have ordered more! 😝

11/ Catching up with friends from past life in @awscloud . #CloudComputing has had an amazing run of 15 years and is gradually slowing down. #InternetComputer can function as a new kind of decentralized infrastructure-as-a-service (#IaaS).

One crypto OG said, I usually know 9/10 people at any party in this industry, but tonight I know only half, tops.
People who arrived late almost couldn’t get in.
14/ “If look can kill, you guys slay Shanghai tonight” - a crypto OG said on @dfinity ‘s #DFINITYMeetup1025 .
Yes we did.
