(sometimes it just what people goto events for!)
The official afters for Barcamp Cork 2010 will be at Electric ( Website | Twitter | Facebook).

Electric is located at 41 South Mall (Google Maps), a mere hop, skip and a jump from the Barcamp Cork venue. Afters start at about 6:15/6:30 after Barcamp (we’ll be traveling in a pack from Barcamp), here the competition winners will be announced and award. Electric are very kindly providing us with complimentary finger food, however if you’ll be starving after the day (like myself) ring ahead (021-4222990) and make reservations, contact details will also be available at the event.

Come for the craic, networking, free food and the liquid confidence to talk large amounts of people (if you weren’t able to at Barcamp Cork)!

Barcamp Cork is running 4 competitions on the day, these are being sponsored by Dot-Cotton of French Church street, Ellislab and BrokenScreen.ie, with some fantastic prizes, that you wont want to miss out on!

Competiton details will be posted on website on the day (no head-starts ) and also on a whiteboard at the event.

Dot-Cotton is Ireland’s first and only custom digital print clothes shop, at 14 French Church Street.  They are giving us 4 custom designed t-shirts for the competition.

Ellislab are giving us 2 ExpressionEngine licenses and 2 MojoMotor licenses. John Henry Donovan will be giving a talk at Barcamp Cork on ExpressionEngine on a practical level and an introduction primer, useful for anyone interested in publishing platforms.

BrokenScreen.ie have very kindly given us 4 4GB memory sticks to include in the competition. BrokenScreen.ie are Ireland’s premier laptop screen repair site, offer a collect, repair and delivery service!

The competition winners will be announced and awarded at the afters in Electric!

All day parking is available from Q-Park (across the road from the Barcamp Cork venue) for a special Barcamp Cork rate of 10euro.

All you have to do is get your ticket stamped by us from the event.

If you wish to really be a massive help to Barcamp Cork, find myself, James Whelton, on the morning to find out how you can give a hand or email me: me(@)jameswhelton(.)com

We are looking for people to be ready to pounce on matters such as presentation difficulties, etc, and just to float around willing to give a hand. I’m sure there will be enough of you fellow geeks there willing to give a hand with the technical stuff

If you are a speaker and are wish to be on at a certain time or have a time preference, please email myself about these including the title of your talk: me jameswhelton com

secondly, if you wish to give a talk, but feel you can’t fill a session period, why not split the session with someone else? Shoot me an email if this is the case.

To confirm, yes there will be free wifi at the event, a password will be given on the day (we don’t want you to throttle your data connection just yet).

What excitement, just over a week to Barcamp Cork!

The day will kick off at 10:00am with registration and Coffee from 10:00 to 10:15. The day will end at 5pm with ‘afters’ to be arranged

The talks will be running in 4 separate rooms throughout the day, the Blacknight Room, the Microsoft Room, the JustMobile Room and the Maxroam Room. Each speaker is given 30 minutes (questions included in that time) and 15 minutes for a changeover in between. The last two sessions of the day are 30 minutes.

Any questions contact myself: me <at> jameswhelton <dot> com , or over on Twitter: @BarcampCork / @JWhelton

An event like Barcamp Cork or any other event for that matter could not run without sponsors. This year we have some fantastic sponsors that have been absolutely amazing to us, helping us organise a free conference for you! Reciprocate the kindness and check them out!
