Creative Mornings comes to Dublin

KonFusion

Hey guys,

Some of you may be interested in knowing that Creative Mornings is officially getting a Dublin Chapter The application has been approved.

Has anyone attended one of the other chapters?

Any suggestions on who you'd like to see give a talk?

Funnily enough, there was talk of eventually moving it to the evening :pac:

It's aimed at non techies too though.

FYI: If anyone knows anyone interested in sponsoring, be they a small coffee house or large franchise etc, please do let me know.

Even if you think they wouldn't be interested in sponsoring, please share the contact anyway, I can be pretty persuasive (in a friendly way)

Don't think I can make it but hope it goes well. Glad to see something like this happening - OpenCoffee seemed to die off on us.

Really?

I was only discussing OpenCoffee with a friend (Ruairi, if it rings a bell) and saying I must get down to it.

I'm an awful man for getting up on time for stuff on in the mornings though :rolleyes:

Will there be free coffee? :P

Sounds like it will.

Unlike some of the "Open Coffee's" I've attended, which weren't open, and didn't have coffee*!

* Apparently there was a small window of opportunity for coffees before the kick off of formal proceedings, which I missed, but I'm right narky if I don't get my morning pint of coffee in.

Ha yes!

Free coffee, tea and muffins (or scones...or something else along those lines).

Edit: It's also now sold out. 90 tickets in less than 24 hours. Not bad!

First event was a fantastic success! Excellent turnout, everything went smoothly. Cakes were delicious. Speaker was great. It's going to be hard to top next month.

Thanks to all who came, and for those that couldn't make it I hope to see you next time

Was up at half 5 which is about 5 hours earlier than I'm normally up, so I'm absolutely wired on coffee :pac:

Pics & speaker vid on the way!

More shameless plugging.

This Friday's theme is food.

Andrew Rudd is going to talk us through how Dublin has pulled its creative culinary socks up in the last 20 years.
