Bizcamp Newry – User Generated Business Conference
January 7, 2010 in Events by Stephen Hewitt
BizcampNewry is a free business conference taking place in the Southern Regional College Newry on Saturday the 6th of February 2010! There will be talks ranging from entrepreneurs actively working to professionals ready to share their knowledge and skills.
How much will it cost?
Its free! There is no charge to attend and lunch will be free on the day
What is a “bizcamp”?
bizcamp is short for business camp which follows the ideas of a barcamp. Its a user generated conference, a few people get together and organise facilities to allow talks, networking and innovation. We expect close to 1/3 of all people attending to give a presentation, if you fancy talking, just include it on the registration form, there is no fee to talk.
Who will talk
We cant predict who will talk at an event like this, as who ever turns up on the day and wishes to talk will be allowed to do so, but judging by other similar events held elsewhere, talks can range from bootstrapping a business to taxation and VAT.
Why Newry
Newry has the great geographical location to be located almost an hour from each of the two largest cities that the island of Ireland has. About an hour from Belfast and an Hour from Dublin. Therefore we are expecting to draw crowds from both unlike other conferences which usually just draw from the city that they are located in and the surrounding area
Why will I benefit from attending?
Maybe your a student interested in gauging the employment market? There will be business owners attending that you may wish to talk to. Maybe your interested in learning about building a facebook application. Hopefully there will be a mix of both business talks and technology talks and some talks that may just inspire to follow the ambition you always had to start a business.
Ok, I’m in..
