Skimlinks Does The Europas

The Skimlinks team was out in full force last night, at the first ever TechCrunch Europe Europas.

We arrived at the soiree, dressed as waiting staff (who came up with that idea?) and proceeded to drink the bar into bankruptcy.

A right who’s who of the tech startup industry in Europe, the Delfina Restaurant was packed full of…let’s be honest, a whole lot of males.

We started with a little mingling; a little elevator pitching; and a lot of canape eating, before moving into the hall (disappointingly devoid of chairs!!) where we jiggled from side to side in our killer high heels…well, just Alicia and I, the boys were wearing much more sensible footwear, I must admit.

The very raucous ceremony kicked off with some trophy-handing-out, and continued that way, unsurprisingly. Alicia presented the award for Best Entertainment Application, pausing for dramatic effect, of course, and the winner was SoundCloud, with highly commended going to eRepublik.

Spotify was the big winner of the night, scooping four awards, which is great, because we use them all the time. Nice work guys! You can see the entire list of winners here.

Classic Michael Jackson had everybody on the dancefloor, with our very own Irish import Ciaran busting out a dance routine that would have made Michael Flatley blush.

We had a lot of fun, and met a lot of very cool people, so well done to Mike Butcher, Petra Johansson and the rest of the TechCrunch team!

Oh, and if you haven’t seen it already, here’s the video you were meant to see last night…
