If you attended BarCamp Cork and thought you’d like to run an unconference yourself, below is just a quick idea of what is involved.
Try to have 2 and preferably 3 organisers. It’s possible as a solo run but can add to your stress level.
The venue is the number 1 priority. If you can get it [...]
Every BarCamp is different and I hope we can learn each time from what went well and what didn’t. I’m going to kick off with a few of my thoughts about last weekend but I’m much more interested in hearing all of your thoughts.
So in no particular order:
The venue - still amazing and just ideal [...]
This post should have been written last weekend so apologies for the slowness.
There are a bunch of people to thank for the success of BarCamp. It genuinely couldn’t have happened without them.

After a bit of tooing and froing, we’ve decided to have no official place for food after BarCamp, it’s just too awkward to arrange for that many people. There are tons of good places to eat in the city centre and I’m sure groups of you can organise yourselves.
