Etsy Admins Matt & Benedikta arranged a meet-up in Helsinki on Thursday!
They have recently opened an Etsy office in Berlin. About 40 Finnish Etsy enthusiastics got together for Euro news and networking at Cafe Fanny. Can you believe there are nearly 500 Etsy sellers in Finland alone? I'm happy Etsy is making improvments on its geo-locator feature, this will help us to find each more efficiently. All in all it sounded nice that Etsy is now truly growing international. To serve its international buyers and sellers better Etsy will be introducing French and German language versions, multi language call center and a currency converter. These will come in action little by little.
Here are a few photos I snapped at the gathering. I apologize the blurriness on them, the light was pretty dim but everyone loved the warm atmosphere, no doubt!

Thanks again for a wonderful evening Matt & Benedikta and everyone who was there. For sure we will be keeping in touch and arrange more Etsy events locally in a near future!

Thanks for sharing. Great to have Etsy touring in Europe :)
It was great! And I really hope we will meet soon again! I am so happy that Etsy is growing in Finland, I had nearly given up hope...
I can't wait for the currency converter on Etsy, I think that will make it easier to market it locally.
Looks like a fun meeting--can't wait till they make it to my corner--and LaPomme was right--found some new favs!
thanks for the reportage Minna!
