    Well, it’s shaping up to be an awesome week in London this week for tech companies. Here are just a few of the events going on:

    SUNDAY (today)
    At 5:00 PM: Traveling Geeks Tweetup: Welcome to London!

    NESTA and the SYmbian foundation welcoming the Traveling Geeks to London! This is a Tweetup to welcome Robert Scoble, Craig Newmark, Sarah Lacy, Howard Rheingold, Meghan Asha, JD Lasica, Tom Foremski, Sarah Austin, Susan Bratton, Jeff Saperstein, Renee Blodgett, and Sky Schuyler. The venue is the fabulous JuJu in Chelsea. Fees are just covering costs of the venue, food, and an open bar (until the money runs out!) Register here.

    MONDAY

    Reboot Britain

    A one-day event which will take a totally different look at the challenges the UK faces and the new possibilities that – uniquely – this generation has to overcome them. Punch through the gloom and take advantage of the radically networked digital world we now live in to help revive our economy, rebuild our democratic structures and improve public services. At Savoy Place.
