[At the outset, let me say that any comments I make on this event will be coloured by the fact that I was one of the organisers!]
Ok, with that out of the way, I think yesterday’s event was a tremendous success! There were over 250 people attended (Catherine can give me exact numbers but I think 250 is pretty close to the ball park).
The speakers were almost all great, both in terms of the content and the delivery. Tom Corcoran sums the day up nicely on the RAI Centre blog.
The speaker’s slides will be up on the it@cork site in the next couple of days and I hope to get the recordings of the talks from the a/v company and podcast them on the it@cork blog in the coming weeks.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the day the great success it was.

[…] Update – Michele loved Tony’s approach to using open source – mix it with proprietary software if you have to. Tom Raftery thought, “yesterday’s event was a tremendous success” and I agree, while Tom Corcoran has a short but thorough review of the day. He did forget to mention the delicious dessert after lunch. Oh wow! Yum! […]
Tom,
Thank you again for the invitation and the hospitality. I very much enjoyed participating in the conference and making some new friends.
[…] Got back from Ireland yesterday – crazy trip finished off with a great IT@Cork Event. Catherine, Tom, Deirdre, Donal and the rest of the group put on a great show. […]
[…] I know I said the it@cork conference was really good – well, I’m not the only one who thought so! […]
