Techludd Event
January 25, 2008 at 11:20 am
If you were looking at productivity charts for the tech sector in Ireland for 2008, you’d notice a distinct drop on January 25th! That’s because Techludd took place last night at the Odessa Club. Free bar all night – thank you Microsoft – and a packed room of new and old faces. Oh how the chat was flowing!
I particularly enjoyed this event because there was a new set of people there, not just the same old faces. I left with a real feel-good glow about the industry I work in and the people that make things happen. As Anton who organised it said, ‘when I go to conferences, the best part tends to be the bits in between the speakers. That’s what Techludd is about – an event modelled on the bits in beween.”
I met 3 people who were there to find ideas to invest in. A nod and a wink to Ellybabes and she whisked them off to put them in front of people they needed to meet! Paparazzi were out in force. Twitterers were there in the flesh. Others came out of retirement to be there. All up it was a very worthwhile event, thanks to those who stuck their necks out, weathered the criticism from across the water, and made it happen!
