Those alpha startups have been absolutely conned.
I also love the Soviet style factory propaganda trying it’s best to convince you that it isn’t a scam.
NEEERRRRRRRRDS!
Do it properly.

I was there today – it’s not just those start-ups who’re being conned. I’d say lots of attendees left feeling conned too.
And don’t mention the wifi…
Still, if that’s your thing, good luck to anyone who wants to roll up and spend money on this island. Pity Inda and Co didn’t make much effort to keep that cash boost here.
Looks like they’re entrepreneurial-l-l-ing
I wanna try the Yard Work simluator.
Someday this nightmare will end.
Bruton may be using fighting talk there but I do agree with him regarding Dublin’s potential. A TED Talk would do really well here, and some of our institutions are already displaying expertise with this kind of event. Plus it’s not solely limited to just Tech.
Wasn’t there already one? Talk of swatting basking sharks off the coast of Ireland, if I remember correctly?
There were TEDx talks but not TED talks. http://www.ted.com/about/programs-initiatives/tedx-program
Totally thinking of their willies.
and you aren’t? come on, don’t lie to yourself as well as us…
In the banner in the last image, why use ‘metre’ but not ‘€’?
And why refer to ‘booth-size’ as a measurement of success?
I was about to respond and then I saw your name. Top work.
See Dón’s comment above.
Hmmm “booth-sized”
*gets more lube*
Can I join you? I’ve brought a spoon.
We’re going to need a shovel by the sounds of things!!
Yesssssssssss! The evening is looking up.
In more ways than one!! *nudge nudge, wink wink*
Carry on BS!
I hope that’s a smartspoon…. and maybe put it on silent / vibrate.
They’re obviously talking about me, Clamps. They must have heard my ma has increased my pocket money by a fiver a week.
I have an issue with the usage of “who” in said banner.
Looks like a one meter x 20 cm booth.
We need to replace a waffler who got lucky with another waffler who got lucky…
LovinWebSummit anybody?
Just a suggestion.
+ 1 and not just because a fire would wipe out our hipster population
Theres nothing else happening, is there?
We need another f’ed company.
It was fantastic during the first dotcom flame out.
For the millennials. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucked_Company

If the RDS fell of the face of the earth right, the world would carry on exactly the same, unchanged even one iota
We’d miss out on tinder for cats or some kind of uber for hot air balloons app.
Those two dudes in the virtual reality headsets are missing out on the hot girls coming their way.
I went to the web summit last year, Ive gotten two tinder dates since, are they going to take credit for that too
Seána called – she feels used. Tubbers has her phone number, I think.
Beards and side partings are the new Porsche Boxsters.
