In May a new Belgian Webmission, a more-or-less improvised trade mission for IT startups, will be visiting the Bay Area again. Last year a friend hooked up with them for a couple of events and was able to join them on visits to Google, Facebook and Microsoft Research, very interesting. Also this year they're visiting a couple of tech companies and participating in a number of events in the area.

Meeting Belgians in the bay area is also one of the goals, so you're all kindly invited to paritcipate in the following Belgian events they'll organize:
