Tune in to Open Coffee this Thursday
April 28, 2008 at 1:33 pm
As it happens, Dublin, Limerick and Waterford are all having Open Coffees at the same time this week. So the plan is to connect and go nationwide!
Note for your diary: this Thursday, 1 May we’ll be broadcasting live from Open Coffee. It normally kicks off in Dublin from around 9.30am, but our country cousins don’t start until 11am. I suppose cows have to be milked and all! Imminent podcaster Bernie Goldbach, Onlinemeetingrooms.com Maestro Joe Garde and I have just tested the connection for a live hook up this Thursday.
Want to take part? Here’s how:
- Come along to The Morrison Hotel for Open Coffee Dublin, take part in the chat that will be broadcast live online. If you have an event or something worthwhile to promote, prepare a short/Twitter style plug and you can have some free advertising time.
- If you can’t come in person, log on from your desk or home. Am thinking that if you’re based outside the city centre or you work for an organisation that doesn’t see the value of giving you a couple of hours off to go and have coffee with your mates, then this option is for you! On Thursday at 11.05am, log on and take part. All the details you need are here.
The plan is as follows:
- We’ll hook up with Limerick and Waterford at 11am
- There will be short twitter style introductions of who’s present
- Dublin will have been on for an hour or so. We’ll share the main topics of conversation that have taken place with our friends outside the Pale. And hopefully have some lively discussion.
- If anyone has anything they particularly want to promote, now’s your chance!

11am seems like a much more reasonable time for these sorts of things. Participants could make an ‘early lunch’ excuse, rather than just not going to work in the morning.
Hopefully I’ll make the Dublin one this week anyway. After 11am
That’s true Michael. I’m always a bit unsure myself as to what is the best time to go. Hate to think I’d miss out on anything you know.
Ooooh 2 good ideas in the one post! The later start is good for the ‘early lunch’ reason Michael mentions and the online thing is very cool. Now I can’t decide how to attend my first open coffee now – online or at 11 in the Morrison…
