About
“BarCamp Cork is a great day. It’s packed with people who are developing new tools for improving the world.
Think of the usual Conference – with its usual Process fixed in advance. Think of how regimented and un-surprising conferences often are…
BarCamp Cork is different – it is an “Un-Conference” – alive with an air of chaos. There are so many things going on at the same time – you have a hard job deciding which event you can afford to miss.
Loads of choice – short snappy sessions – lots of switched on people hanging round – keen to network.
BarCamp Cork is fun while you dunk yourself in the cooking pot. This is where you catch up on the future – get a good view on what’s coming over the horizon – and new ways of using stuff you thought you knew.
Treat yourself to a day that’ll sharpen you up on the latest trends…”
-Paul O’Mahony
This year BarCamp Cork IV will be on November 20th at the Cork Webworks. Starting at 10:00am and lasting till 5:00am (with afters to be arranged).
Last year BarCamp Cork III was on November 14th in the Cork International Airport Hotel being the follow-up to Ireland’s first and second BarCamp Cork held in 2006 and 2008. BarCamp is about people getting together, sharing ideas, learning from each other and finding like-minds.

Last year it was great to see the amount of people who knew each other online, but hadn’t met in person.
The sessions were inspiring and so varied from learning about new apps, to online marketing to a very honest account about failure in business and lessons learnt. I am not a techy, but there was lots there to keep me interested for the day.

I thought last years bar camp was a great networking event and I learnt loads about cloud computing and time management at work. Well worth attending and fair dues to the sponsors for making it a free event. Thanks to Ciara and Gordon and Sabrina and everyone else who is organising it this year.
