Iron Edge Meetup Summer 2023: Gdańsk!
30th of June - 2nd of July

(https://i.imgur.com/1kPbbZ5.jpg)

After the wonderful turnout last October in Dublin and the corona break before it, we're ready to kick it off with another great Iron Edge Meetup in 2023. This time in beautiful Gdańsk!

We chose Gdańsk for its central location in Europe and it is affordable for as many people as possible to get to. Famous for its rich culture, history and entertainment, we think it's a great place to spend the weekend with your friends from Iron Edge!

The plan:

On Friday we will all gather in Gdańsk, find our respective hotels or other lodgings and then go out into the city and go explore.

Saturday will be the activity day selected by Naasty herself, where we have a couple of cultural activities lined up so everyone can pick what they want. After that we will meet up again and we will all have dinner and drinks together in a local pub.

On Sunday there will be another activity planned, which can be attended freely as your travel itinerary allows you.

I recommend you all find places to stay that allow for many people per room, such as large hotel rooms and AirBnB. Getting up to 4 people in one accommodation can get you a place to stay for as little as 30 euros per night per person. Of course getting your reservation and travel arrangement early is the way to go. If flying to Gdańsk is expensive, consider flying to Warsaw and taking a train to Gdańsk instead.

I suggest we all find hotels in the commercial area of Gdańsk, around the Bazylika Mariacka:

Please share in this thread if you will attend and what your intentions for accommodation are!

In attendance, names in bold confirmed:

- Rash
- Grax
- Hemoroid
- Naasty
- Kodin
- Cnacka
- Prat
- Moon
- Phoenix
- Rasgaas
- Lethys
- Stepan
- Paul
- Xormn
- Mortos
- Oni
- Zilent

See you all there!

For all the first joiners, remember that you can get an OFFICIAL IRON EDGE T-SHIRT, with your name on it, here: https://www.zazzle.com/iron_edge_shirt_t_shirt-235700833733862881

If the link doesn't work, search for: iron edge on zazzle.
It isn't that expensive. I'm getting one. Hopefully 5XL fits me.

PS: missed opportunity to write THE BLADE as my name :(

I'd really love to join an IE meeting so I can smash some beers with Prat and Rasgaas (at least), but unfortunately, I won't be able to join this one either.

The baptizm of my cousin's daughter is in august after all, so I could have attend this one, but recently, I was told my little sister is promoting me to uncle. She's pregnant for 3 weeks and she'll come home in that exact weekend. I haven't seen her for more than a year already and I can't wait to hug her.

Hopefuly I'll manage to see you guys at some point, but it's not gonna be this time :(

It looks more and more positive that I will come
My company is planning to send me AGAIN to New York in July so to make me feel better about all of this my boss is willing to pay for this trip and arrange it

its still not final final, cause we didn't set the dates of when I need to come back
but looks much better today then it did til now

cause when I checked flight costs from Israel to Gdansk it was 750 fucking USD
but if the company is paying (and it will be cheaper cause it will be part of a larger ticket)
