Sure glad I didn’t invest the time and money to go that event. When I was at IT@Cork a couple of weeks ago more than a couple of people asked me if I was going but I really couldn’t justify the expense even though it was talked up as one of the must go events in Europe.

UPDATE: Tom Raftery, my host at IT@Cork, has some more detail on why the conference attendees felt hijacked.

If they are modern they ought to go for conversations, not top-down broadcasts of official truths and by the way accept questions for the audience, Mr Sarkozy”
