The Next Web Dinner

Tonight we had all the speakers for The Next Web Conference at my house. Diederik from Twones helped me in the kitchen and ended up doing most of the cooking.

All the speakers helped with everything. In this photo you can see Dick Hardt doing the dishes with Patrick. Even Rod Beckström dropped in at the end of the evening just in time for desert. other guests were Jeff Clavier, Scott Rafer, Tapan Bath, Terry Mader and Lars, Sjors Timmer, Arjen Schat, Marc and Lisa Canter and their daughters, Barend van den Brande, Tessa Sterkenburg and Saul Klein.

Herbert Blankesteijn did a live Radio show for Business News Radio during dinner. Faye kept screaming at me while we did the intro which was extremely distracting. Hope it turned out well.

Michael Arrington just told us he didn’t get on the plane. No reason yet. He had to be back in San Francisco. I hope he had a very good reason.

Deborah Schultz will be there tomorrow but skipped dinner to work on her presentation.

We are now doing some last moment work with a nice glass of cognac.

Can’t wait to get some sleep….
Can’t wait until tomorrow…

    At least you’ll have a PA tomorrow, your loving sister…MOI!!!!!!!

    and btw organising the next web is much better than being in the middle of a divorce…although…just two more days and it will all be over…for you and me!!!

  2. Hi Ellemijn, looking forward to that! Tessa has some issues with work so she wont be there until noon.

  3. Jeff Clavier says:

    It was very nice of you to host us at your place, and give us the opportunity to meet your wonderful family.

  4. Thnaks Jeff. Meeting all the speakers in person in a relaxed atmosphere is one of the highlights of the conference for us…
