Our September meet-up promises to be another great session including speakers from across the media and tech spectrum.

7pm: Quartz - The story so far

Leo Mirani @lmirani and Jason Karaian @jkaraian

Leo Mirani covers technology for Quartz, a "digitally native news outlet" founded last year. Jason Karaian has recently joined the London team covering business, finance and economics. They'll talk through how Quartz works and what makes it different both from traditional business publications and most online media.

7.45pm: Lighting round

Vincent Dignan, Planet Ivy

Ændrew Rininsland, The Times (who will be talking about The Times's new mobile live feed from the party conferences)

7.50pm: Chirp - How machines learned to sing

Patrick Bergel, @goodmachine

Patrick is CEO and founder of Animal Systems, a spin-off business from University College London.

Animal Systems created Chirp, an Android and iPhone that lets you share data via an audible sound. Chirp lets users send photos, links and notes to smartphone via 'digital birdsong'.

Hacks/Hackers regulars will be aware we have a lightning round, which is a chance to hear from people with ideas new and wild, clever and strange. Get in touch with us if there's something you'd like to share.

And some time for to have a drink, chat, and disagree about the future of news.

Drinks are provided

Looking forward to it!

Cassie, Sarah and the HH London team

  We've not done so before. Martin Belam will no doubt be blogging. If you are keen to see the slides again we could check with speakers and post.

I don't think 190 people will fit in this venue!

Please let us know what time the talks start, and if possible, and approximate schedule.

  We find that 40% of people who say they are coming actually come. At that rate all will be fine. But worth arriving soon after 6.30 to ensure that
