Since moving myself and the business down to Wicklow several months ago I’ve been really impressed with the work that the Wicklow County Enterprise Board (WCEB) are doing for small businesses in the area and just how proactive they are on the seminar, networking and roadshow initiatives. So I’m glad I caught this seminar alert in the local paper earlier this week.
Here’s an excerpt from the website…
Wicklow County Enterprise Board are hosting a Seminar entitled “Heads up - The Latest IT Tools for your Business“. The Seminar will give a snapshot of the most up to date technology that can be used to run a business more efficiently. Specifically, the event will cover: Blogging and Podcasting; gadgets that make business life easier; mobile technologies & PDAs; online applications can save money for offline business activities.The guest speaker is Damien Mulley (http://www.mulley.net) , one of Ireland’s best known bloggers and technology correspondent with the Sunday Tribune.
Looking forward to that. Full details are available from the WCEB website.

After the briefing attendees will have the opportunity to view the ‘Best of Irish’ Design Exhibition which will showcase award-winning designs by Irish designers across a range of design disciplines. The exhibition will appeal to all business sectors.
UK design organisation, D&AD are launching D&AD Northwest.
The organisation which aims to champion excellence in creativity globally will kick off the expansion with a lecture from President, Johnson Banks and culminate in a series of year-round events, workshops and exhibitions all aimed at a vibrant creative base in the NorthWest of England.
Speaking of Creativity and England, I’ll be in the Northest myself this weekend but the most creative thing I intend to do is rest and get plenty of fresh air.

Blogging in Ireland is outta control. They say the Irish like to talk. Even my brother has launched his own blog and is slowly coming round to the idea of turning up at the Irish Blog Awards on Saturday and taking some ’snaps’. He hates it when I use that word (snaps).

There’s ½ day seminar, at the Hilton Hotel on Charlemont Place, Dublin on everything you need to know about blogging.
Presented by Michele Neylon on 8 March 2006 14:00.
Full details available on the Irish Internet Association site.
