    So ironic to read reports that they’re controlling wifi themselves this year and attenders are tweeting that it’s whiffy

    At this stage, most people will be happy to see the back of it, if it means no more whinging on the airwaves from entitled buffoon, Paddy Cosgrave.

    Vendors were told to prepare an €8 meal without knowing that websummit were going to charge €20.

      the €20 food voucher thing was up on the WS site before it started, so vendors can easily hav ebeen aware.
      obviously the people who purchased them and went around to Herbert Park expecting some artisan gourmet delights didn’t realise they’ve be getting some crappy pulled pork, wedges and a bottle of water for their €20.

        Apart from the plethora of people making a lot of money from it, I doubt anyone else cares.

        What you meant to say was
        “I don’t like the nasty man and even though he’s got up off his arse and made a lot of money for himself and in the process promoted ireland as a business and tourism destination, I’m going to pretend everyone is as illogical and bitter as me”

          Hah! ‘Begrudgery’… Bitter’.. ‘Illogical’… always the choice putdowns of the truly dull :)

    I think Paddy’s really big but basic error in all of this was being too cute for his own good on the PR side of this. Their PR strategy has been shambolic, at best. They probably need to start thinking about hiring in external consultants to help them manage a lot of the non-event external stuff from now on. It’s no longer a small start-up style company. Mistakes like the ones he’s made our now stuff that shouldnt happen anymore.

      It’d be a shame to get PR people involved. It’s always entertaining when bottomholes reveal themselves.
