As you know Mike Butcher of TechCrunch UK & Ireland was in town lately for an event we co-organised with TechCrunch in Dublin. Well the event was excellent with around 130 people in attendance and it was great fun.

He first attended OpenCoffee Dublin in the Digital Depot hosted by Joe Drumgoole and Putplace the intelligent personal online backup solution whose offices are based in the Digital Depot. Mike got the chance to meet a good few people and companies and took some photos and video interviews which he then posted to TechCrunch UK & Ireland. Have a look here.

There were some brilliant people at the event and some great companies demoed. There has been some great feedback aimed at the demoing companies as well from the perspective of someone who wanted to find out about the products (scroll down a little it’s a post about a few things). Perhaps it’s time to make some recommendations to demoing companies to help maximise their experience and Elly’s suggestions are a great start.

We’ll be reviewing them all in a little more depth over the next while so stay tuned for that. It was great to see an eclectic crowd of bloggers, journalists and startups and even a few investors at the event.

4 Dame Lane was excellent as a venue so thanks to the staff and management there.

Many thanks again to sponsors dev.mobi, Digital Media Forum, Sun Startup Essentials and Tidal Wave Media who’s backing made the event possible. We look forward to working with you in the future.
