We're pleased to announce our first regular event of 2012, taking place on Wednesday 18th January, at our regular venue in the Freemasons' Hall (close to Holborn, Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road and Temple stations).

Tickets are available at http://fdgljanuary2012-meetupeventdescription.eventbrite.co.uk - you must buy in advance to guarantee entry on the night. Earlybird tickets are available until Friday before the event, subject to quota.

We'll have some great speakers lined up - so far there's Bernie Hogan, a research fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute who'll be talking about network and networking visualisations, and a usual must-see for developers, Iskandar Najmuddin from Syncapse will get us up to date with the latest Facebook platform updates.

As always, freelance developer Dave Nattriss will cover the hottest apps and pages on Facebook, and starting everything off, our host for the evening Todd Chaffee will give us a quick update on general Facebook news. More speakers and talks will be announced as soon as possible.

We are grateful for the sponsorship of our events - thanks to our regular sponsors Accel Partners, Gamaroff Digital, Adknowledge, Syncapse and Conversocial, and our media partner Newspepper. If your organisation is interested in sponsoring, please email  for more information.
