An attempt at the UK’s first Foursquare Super Swarm is being made on Saturday 9 October at 1pm-4pm at The Bank House (Weatherspoons) in Cheltenham. Quays Creative tenant Jonathan Pollinger of Intranet Future is on the project team along with Adrian Malpass, Andy Thorne, Andrew Burgess, Chris Roberts and Holly Knolman. (See team roles below).

The Super Swarm badge, which requires 250 users to all be checked in at the same place, at the same time, is yet to be unlocked by anyone in the United Kingdom. But that could be about to change soon.

If you want to be part of history make your way to The Bank House on Saturday 9 Oct and don’t forget your mobile!

The Twitter hashtag for the event is: #superswarmuk
