I thought this was funny:

http://appsterdam.rs/events Starts: Wednesday 06/29/2011 - 19:00 Ends: Wednesday 06/29/2011 - 19:00

US-dates coupled with "Americans can visit for three months without a visa. Pack up the family for a summer vacation in Europe." make me wonder how much this thing is targeting Americans over, you know, us Europeans who don't already have a Silicon Valley.

Don't worry, it's for Europeans and Americans equally. But Europeans (as me) do not need a visa and can come here anytime without any problem. This is the only reason for that sentence.

We had around 150 people at the launch keynote. There were some Americans, but the majority were people from around all Europe.

Edit: BTW, thank you for the report, I notified the person responsible for the website about the error.

Appsterdam events are in English. Other tech events in the city are usually some mixture of English and Dutch, depending on whether the audience is international.
