Greetings and welcome to the London-based Science Events Programmers group. As part of the Nature Network team, I work with the organisers of London scientific events to get their listings in Nature Network London.
This forum is for events organisers from different institutions to share experiences and get to know one another. Please feel free to join and start a conversation. There are so many great event programmes going on in London that Jonathan and I feel there is scope for a discussion forum involving event organisers in London.
Have you organised any good meetings / seminars / exhibitions / plays / etc. recently in London? This forum is for you to talk about them… whether or not they were successful and how so, improvements for future events, venue / bookings / audience / speaker issues, etc.
Additionally, we hope to make the Nature Network London scientific event listings as comprehensive and definitive as possible. The format is currently pretty basic but improvements to the events functionality are planned for the future. If we have not listed any event(s) you think we definitely should, please let us know. Alternatively, if you think an event (yours!) is worth covering in more depth, please flag it up to me at l.lee [ at ] nature.com.

Hi, sounds like a great idea. But out here in the less populated areas of the world could do with something similar too. Any suggestions for how best to start?

Thanks, Keith! Nothing specific are coming to mind currently but there are lots of useful notes on how to set up and run events successfully on the Dana Centre site (http://www.danacentre.org.uk/aboutus/eventdiy).

You could try starting up a café scientifique. They’ve got info on their website about how it all works and how to do it. Basically you get a speaker to come talk in an informal, café/bar-type setting and then the people who come get a chance to question them after.

Jonathan and I just renamed this Group because its original name, Science Events Programmers (London), was just too unwieldy!
