The third Bizcamp Dublin takes place this coming Saturday (May 29, 2010) when up to 500 entrepreneurs will gather in the Guinness Storehouse for a day of networking, learning and sharing. Sponsored by Microsoft, Mason, Hayes + Curran, IBM, and Enterprise Ireland, Bizcamp Dublin is the largest event of its kind in Ireland - where those registered to attend the one-day conference also register to be its keynote speakers. Attendees will spend the day attending ‘lectures’ given by their peers on starting, managing and promoting a business. Registration fee for the event is just €5 because there really is no such thing as a free lunch!

The theme for this latest Bizcamp Dublin is ‘Young Entrepreneurs’ and will feature a panel discussion of young Irish business people who are sailing through the recession instead of giving out about it. Panelists include 26 year old Rob Ryan of www.ladyumbrella.com, 29 year old John Matthew Hold of Waratek Ltd., 26 year old Stephen O’Leary of www.olearyanalytics.ie and John O’Dea, Manager of the Start-up Devision of Enterprise Ireland.

Bizcamp Dublin is run voluntarily by a team of Irish entrepreneurs. Looking ahead to Saturday’s event, one such organiser, Alan O’Rourke of Spoiltchild Design and Toddle.com said: “Saturday’s Bizcamp Dublin is shaping up to be another brilliant event. We already have hundreds registered to attend and share their business war stories but with a huge venue like the Guinness Storehouse there’s room for plenty more!”

“This time around we want to give special recognition to young entrepreneurs” he added. “Our panel discussion will feature some of our successful young business people and we’re hoping the discussion will encourage others to take the leap and go it alone.”
