Paddy Cosgrave
Adrian Weckler, on Independent.ie, reports:
Paddy Cosgrave’s Web Summit is to move MoneyConf, the 5,000-strong financial technology conference scheduled for Dublin this June, to Lisbon.
Instead of a standalone event this June, it will now be part of the Web Summit this November, said Mr Cosgrave.
It is understood that the decision was taken in recent weeks. Companies that had made plans around the two-day June conference in the RDS in June will now be “accommodated” through refunds and possibly travel and accommodation compensation.

Seems to be a yearly drama for this guy. Always in the limelight about moving his conferences elsewhere. Don’t know much about him but it seems he is good at getting free advertising when this happens every time. The papers applaud him like he is some sort of entrepreunerial tech messiah. Sounds to me like poor planning and organisation. Does anyone really care where he holds it?
No room at hotels most likely.
Ugh he is such a smunt – hate him, the folks in Lisbon are welcome to him.
Did he not leave in a huff 3 or 4 years’ ago(?)
Yes but now he’s doing it again because he’s Making A Point, and definitely not for the publicity.
Shur’ loadsa lads say that
They’re leaving
n’ what have ya
Tis like when DJ retired …. And retired and retired.
Good. It was poo too. MoneyConf. Yawn.
Please God let him take that jumper with him too. Of course if he really wanted to annoy us he’s have moved the gig to the UK.
Y’know what Lisbon has though? Pasteis de Nata. I’d move a conference there if it meant I could get a rake of them for free.
Wha’ a tart with a bit of custard in it – now THERE’S a euphemism!
+ Nom Nom Nom
They’re amazing, Avoca cafes do a very passable version, so I’m getting them to cater my new event, provisionally titled NataSummit, now incorporating CashConf, RDS, June 2019.
Never ever wash your curtains in the same wash as your aran jumper
Why are the Irish media obsessed with this clown? who cares what he does ?
