After the previous post of “how to organize a FIRE meetup“, and after the previous FIRE meetup in October in Leiderdorp, I have now teamed up with Ms. Hoefnix. And we have news for you! We have now planned FIRE meetup February 2025. See below for the details!
Update 17-11-2024 – 21:30: We sold out Saturday in less than 4 hours, so we added a Sunday meetup too. Which we also sold out in a few hours. What the actual F… I’m so sorry for all those that were interested, but didn’t register yet. You can still find a place on the waiting list for both days, but they are growing rapidly. Think we need to look for a bigger venue next time…
What?
The program for the day is as follows:
12:30 – 13:00: Doors open
13:00 – 13:45: FIRE for beginners (by me!)
14:15 – 15:00: The Boring Middle, what to do with it? (by Mevrouw Hoefnix)
15:30 – 16:30: Discussion panel with 2 or 3 FIRE peeps (to be confirmed) with the cheerful topic ‘how to FIRE when the world is dire’
16:30 – 18:00: Drinks!
18:00 – 19:00: Final drinks and cleanup (we have to be out by 19:00)
19:00 – ???: Dinner. If you are hungry from all that money talk, we can check the options depending on the number of people interested to join. Dinner costs are not included in the entrance fee and participation is obviously voluntary.
Where?
We found a venue in the city center of the lovely town of Culemborg. Which is accessible via public transport, but also allows for free parking close to the venue. In short, no reason not to join.
When?
February 1st and 2nd, 2025 from 12:30 until 19:00-ish. With the option to go out for dinner with the hard-core folks that will also stick around.
What to bring?
The usual good spirits, a desire to talk money, investing and life, and a desire to talk like Dr Doom during the discussion panel.
How much?
Because we had to obtain a venue, and because you will be well catered for, we do required a €15 per person entrance fee.
Language?
This particular event will be held in completely in Dutch. I do apologize to my international readers, but there will be another one organized in the future that will also accommodate the English speakers among you.
Registration?
As there is limited space available (max 25 guests), and because there are costs associated with the venue and the catering, we do require registration this time. Please note that your personal details (name, email) will be kept highly confidential and will only be used for communication of fee payment and location details.
As noted in the introduction, both events are now officially sold out. But you are welcome to put yourself on the waiting list (as long as you realize that they are rapidly growing too).

Hope to see you there!
Geweldig dat het zo snel gegaan is, maar wel echt jammer voor iedereen die niet aan het internet gekluisterd is op een druilerige zondag! Wordt vervolgd.
Dit is wel een nieuwe ervaring, meestal hadden we een paar weken nodig om meetups vol te krijgen, nu een paar uur voor 2 dagen! Gaat wel gezellig worden. Zin in!
Misschien leuk voor een volgende meeting, om mensen te vragen waarom ze willen deelnemen. Die vraag speelt bij mij vooral, waarom alles binnen 4u was volgeboekt. Wil men geïnspireerd raken, zien wie al die anonieme bloggers zijn of andere redenen?
Dit hebben we in het verleden ook wel eens gedaan via een feedback vraag na de meetups, met ook wat men wilde zien/doen in volgende meetups. Voor de meeste was het toen een combinatie van nieuwe dingen leren en met andere over geld onderwerpen kunnen praten. Met dat in gedachte is het programma van de volgende keer in elkaar gezet. Maar misschien tijdens de volgende meetup/blogs wel leuk om weer eens een poging te doen om input te krijgen, kijken of er nog dingen veranderd zijn.
