Learning from Great People
November 15th, 2005 under Business Development, Events, IT@Cork, Industry Development, Partners and Alliances. [ Comments: 3 ]

Richenda, my wife, remembers when U2 played at Waterford Regional Technical College, now WIT, at a price of 50 pence per student. She didnt go, she was a bit young. Who was U2 then anyway? But no doubt they were great. Many people missed their opportunity to see this U2 greatness in the making.

How do you become great? It’s not by one great deed nor one great goal nor one great success. Many people rest on one thing of greatness and it fades.

I’m so lucky to regularly meet so many great people today in business in Ireland and further afield. I am always keen for these people to share their knowledge and experience with the industry, within an industry organisation such as it@cork for example.

The it@Cork annual conference is coming up and many great people are speaking and attending. do see www.itcork.ie for more information.

I am really looking forward to hear Jim Mountjoy speak. A great person indeed, both for his achievements and his contribution to the technology sector in Ireland. Jim doesnt speak in public very often and maybe curses the thought of it. No doubt his to-the-point approach will come across from the podium as much as it does across the table. If you dont know of Jim, just do a google and you’ll see.

Other great people speaking at the conference include Charles Handy, Robert Scoble, Joe Gantly and many more.

Great People will gather in the 100’s in Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork - November 30th - Book at www.itcork.ie

In your mind, Who are the great people in the Irish Technology Sector? Do we do enough to reward them for their leadership and contribution?
IT@Cork Event: RSS for Non Techies - Tues Oct 25th 18:00 at NSC
October 22nd, 2005 under Events. [ Comments: none ]

RSS has been described as “arguably the most important new technology of the 21st century”.

Although a reasonably new technology, RSS is extremely rapidly becoming mainstream - especially with Microsoft’s recent announcement that it is building RSS into Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office and Windows Vista.

RSS allows you to subscribe to websites and even search engine results, so that you can be notified of updates.

Tom Raftery, an RSS expert, will showcase how best to leverage this potent new technology and how to be constantly fed market intelligence on your areas of interest.

Event Title: RSS for Non Techies

Date: Tuesday, October 25th, 6pm at the National Software Center, Mahon. Registration from 5.30pm.

Registration: Register online on www.itcork.ie or email nelly@itcork.ie

Fee: FREE to all members. √¬¢‚Äö?Ñ??¬¨¬®20 per person for non members.
