I’m heading off to the Irish Businesswomen’s Conference down in sunny Westport tomorrow where I will be photographing the event (must go clear my memory cards!). The theme of the conference is “Thinking Bigger: What Are We Waiting For” and there’s a great line-up of speakers, including Annette Clancy of Interactions. Conn Ó MuÃneacháin will be Podcasting the weekend and there will be quite a few other bloggers around the place so it’ll be nice to have some familiar names. That’s another good thing about blogging…normally I’d go to one of these events and stand shyly in the corner pretending to be incredibly interested in the pattern on the carpet because I wouldn’t know anyone.
One thing I’ve always missed when working from home is the ability to swivel round in my chair and have a chat with a colleague. Or to go and have a bit of a bit of a rant in the canteen about whatever frustrations I might be having. If Matt and Eve aren’t around, the house can get awfully quiet. So, I’m looking forward to cramming a few months worth of over-the-cubicle-partition chats into the next couple of days. The fact that it’s in an extremely nice hotel and I’m booked in for a massage tomorrow afternoon isn’t half bad either!

That’s the kind of conference I like: “I’m booked in for a massage tomorrow afternoon”.
I wonder why conferences of suits can’t be like that?
The whole person conference: business and pleasure.
Any chance the massage room will have several people being massaged at the same time, exchanging utterances of appreciation and creative impulses at the same time.
You remind me of the good old days, when I used to go for a massage at Bethnal Green steam rooms, where we used to be flayed by other men with their pot bellies…
Any chance you’ll be photographing the whole conference?
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy
Haha, I don’t think it’s an “access all areas” kind of deal
