Greenhouse Incubator BizCamp | Oct 11
September 14, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I’ve just registered for the Greenhouse Biz Camp, taking place in Limerick on October 11th. It’s a free unconference event taking place on a Sunday, ideal for you if you’re stuck at work during the week and can’t make any of the other myriad help-you-get-started events that are taking place around the country.
In particular, this one is aimed at people who are self-employed, starting their own business or thinking about starting their own business.
What happens is that there’s a whole load of people who come along and give talks on what they have expertise about. It’s an ad hoc session, and it’s open to anyone to take part. That’s the unconference element to it – you can put yourself forward to give a talk, you don’t have to be invited.
So far there’s going to be speakers on:
- Digital Marketing
- Market Intelligence: “know your competitors”
- “Old Skool PR is dead”
- The ins & outs of intellectual property legislation
- Company registration, filings & compliance issues
- “How to profit through innovation”
- Patent applications & trademarks
- The legal implications of cloud computing
- Shareholder agreements, equity, share options etc.
I’m going to give a talk that case studies all the marketing activity that went into Simple Assembly Me Hole and will share what worked and what didn’t. I use these tools and techniques marketing for clients, but am not always able to share in gripping detail the results. Obviously if something really works well, a client doesn’t want me to blog about it because then their competitors will find out about it. And if something doesn’t go quite as I had expected, I’m not going to be jumping from the rooftops either!
There. Now I’ve committed to it. Therefore I will do it. See you in Limerick on 11 October.
