If you’re like me, passionate about everything web related but can’t justify spending €100′s on conferences like FOWA or Build then you probably love barcamps as much as I do.
You’ll also love the free web technology conference – the dot conf - being hosted by the National College of Ireland on July 22nd. It’s a fantastic opportunity to go and listen to some industry experts and a great way for NCI to promote their new MSc in Web Technologies course.
There is a diverse list of speakers, from journalists, educators, web professionals and technology advocates – all experts in their fields. As well as some “deep dive” sessions (hands-on workshops).
Personally I’m really looking forward to checking out the National E-learning Laboratory, who recently published some pretty interesting data on what Irish people pay attention to when using Facebook.
Conferences like these are a great networking opportunity (especially if you are self employed or “between projects” at the moment). Bring you business cards and wear your hottest geek tshirt, you just never know who you might bump into.
NCI is based in the IFSC – possibly one of the easiest places to get to in Dublin, so there’s no excuse not to attend.
Thanks Sinéad, I’ll try and make it along
Great post! Thanks a million for writing about the conference Sinead, we really appreciate your help in spreading the word. We are very excited about the dot conf but then we would say that, so it’s brilliant to hear other people are looking forward to it, too. See you on the 22nd!
@Nessy Look forward to seeing you there.
@Emma No Problem at all, good luck with the promotion of the conference.
