We're pleased to announce our next regular event, taking place on Wednesday 19th October, back at our regular venue in the Freemasons' Hall (close to Holborn, Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road and Temple stations).

John Haggis from Sheridan Solicitors returns to speak for us, talking about Facebook's privacy policies, Alex Housley from Rummble will talk about social recommendations using the Facebook Graph and collaborative filtering, and Iskandar Najmuddin, Technical Director at Syncapse (formerly Nudge) will give us a bumper-sized rundown on all the latest platform updates in the last three months, including those announced at f8 2011 in late September.

As usual, we'll have Dave Nattriss, freelance developer and FDGL secretary and webmaster, running down what's hot on Facebook, and an introduction with other Facebook news from Todd Chaffee, FDGL's chairman. More speakers and talks will be announced as soon as possible.

Couldn't make it last month or never been before? Here's a quick video report giving you a flavour of the event - there's much more information (including video recordings and slides from most of the talks) on our website:

Our events sell out each time within days, so be quick to buy your ticket(s). We'll have beer, wine, juice and pizza, possibly some Facebook swag, and will go for after-drinks at O'Neills across the road for those that want to wind down afterwards.

Tickets are available here - you must buy in advance to guarantee entry on the night. Earlybird tickets are available until Friday before the event, subject to quota.

If you miss out on or can't make this one, we look forward to seeing you at our next event, scheduled for Wednesday November 16th.

As always we are grateful for the sponsorship of our events - thanks to our regular sponsors Accel Partners, Gamaroff Digital, Adknowledge, Syncapse, Conversocial and Logicode, and our media partner Newspepper. If your organisation is interested in sponsoring us, please e-mail sponsors@facebookgarage.org.uk for more information.
