One week ago, Apple announced its iOS5 Tech Talk World Tour, with a great talk agenda prepared. The announcement email took a bit longer to reach me, so I first learned about it from Twitter. Needless to say, I instantly applied. My target of choice? London, obviously – I knew there’s a great iOS community in UK which I’d love to meet, I had never been there and also wanted to combine tourism with business (can we call it business if it’s a talk for developers teaching them new tech tricks to use in their apps?). Eventually, after 5 long days of waiting, I got notified of having been accepted to the London tech talk (I had access to two iOS accounts and had also applied to Rome to double my chances – I was only accepted to London, though).

So… London, here I come!

Due to the late notice(trying to book a flight with less than 14 days before the flight) I missed the last economy seats on the direct British Airlines flight, my only option was Lufthansa with a pretty awful schedule, risky plane changes in Germany and more expensive with over 50%. Also, it turns out that I might not be able to visit London at all, as I’ll be arriving late in the evening of the 6th and will leave the on the 8th at noon. Well, that’s how life is sometimes, you can’t have it all. I wasn’t planning to be too much of a tourist, but I had hoped to take a peek at some standard London attractions; but, after all, that’s not the reason why I’m going there.

Anyways, to conclude this useless post, I was wondering if any of the iOS developers reading this blog are coming there – if so, why don’t you leave a comment with your blog url/twitter so maybe we can get together during one of the breaks and, you know, socialize? If you’re not coming to the London Tech Talk on November 7th but to another one, where is that? Still curious to find out!
