YAY! BarCamp Cork is back, and it looks like Webworks will be hosting a lineup with some great speakers starting at 10 am. I had a blast at last year’s camp, and am very excited for a Saturday spent meeting great people at a fun and informal (un)conference, even if it means I have to be somewhere at the inhuman hour of 10am. (I hope to God Cafe Gusto is bringing the coffee…)

It really is a great event, and dogs, kids, and partners are always welcome.

This year I’ll be doing a Bootcamp Blitz session, which is basically a rapid fire 10 minute Bootcamp of your online business or startup. Everyone who attends the session is a potential victim volunteer, and we’ll try to do 3 sites in a 30-minute session. No idea where it will be in the schedule but if it tickles your fancy, please feel free to come – time will be up on the scheduling board.

And yes, Eimear the Wonderdog will be there :)

Barcamp Cork is on, baby, and it’s the 14th of November. I’ll be there giving a talk on Five Things Every Startup Should Know. I also highly recommend Paul Sweeney’s Connection 2.0: Communicating with Customers After the Web, mostly because I made him do it. (If you run an app or deliver a product or service, it’s essential.) Sign up here.

The night before Barcamp, Girl Geek Dinners is coming to Cork! It’s a great, casual night for women involved in tech – from bloggers to programmers – to get to meet each other. We’ll be at Gourmet Burger Bistro on Bridge Street, and dinner is €18 per person for starters, dinner with vegetarian options and dessert with tea or coffee. Sign up here.

I’ll be trekking up to Dublin for Business Camp Dublin and presenting a variation on Five Things. John will also be coming and will be presenting on (I think) commercial revenue streams for non-profits. It should be a fun event and Eimear the Wonder Dog will be in tow. (No autographs, please.)
