In the video he merges the two so you can see how things have changed.</p>
<p>I never seem to manage to guess where the old photos are taken. The videos are well worth a look &#8211; and take a lot of time I&#8217;m sure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday we ran our second Bizcamp &#8211; this time in the Guiness storehouse. The event was a great success and I&#8217;d like to say a big thanks to all the speakers for donating their time and of course the sponsors for their money.</p>
<p><a href="http://pix.ie/jasonroe/1232312/size/800"><img style="float:right" title="Bizcamp Logo" src="http://photos5.pix.ie/7B/18/7B18AA582EE74999B042A1A5DCCF6797-160.jpg" alt="Bizcamp Logo - made by made in Hollywood. Photo by Jason Roe" width="160" height="120" /></a></p>
<p>At one of the last timeslots of the day we had our own session to discuss what we did to organise the event and to show where the money went. We had some very useful feedback from the attandents as well. Normally at these events I&#8217;d have a big list of things that I think could have been done better &#8211; this time it&#8217;s more a list of things we can do to make it a little different.</p>
<p>Of the 499 registered attendants we had 291 people turn up. We probably had a few more come in without registering. Feedback from a number of people was that for a free event this was good &#8211; that a 50% dropoff rate is normal. I find it disappointing &#8211; and really unfair if people registered with no real intention of going. It basically meant</p>
<ul>
<li>We had loads of people that couldn&#8217;t come because we had closed the registration.</li>
<li>We had 120 portions of lunch wasted &#8211; money that could have been used for other things</li>
<li>It reduces the effectiveness of the event</li>
</ul>
<p>At the review meeting suggestions were made that a number of people registered only with the intention of having their name listed. I suspect they are right. It means that we will have to limit what people can write &#8211; and will have extra work next time to try and verify registrations. Keep in mind that this work is voluntary.</p>
<p>We also had one no-show for the speakers &#8211; that&#8217;s twice as annoying. We had circa 70 people who wished to speak and only 40 time slots. Considering the talk was on time management there were a lot of jokes about the speaker not having the time etc etc. A phone call would have been nice &#8211; we could have slotted someone else in or at least warning the attendees so they could go to other sessions.</p>
<p>I hope this post is not coming across as a whinge. The event went really well &#8211; we had great comments from people on how much they learned and the contacts they made. I&#8217;m certainly glad I did it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone that has spent more than 5 minutes with me has probably had to listen to me talk about the house we&#8217;re building and the planning that has gone into it.</p>
<p>In order to support our new heavenly home &#8211; we&#8217;re selling the heavenly home where we currently live. It&#8217;s a 3 year old (but in showhouse condition) 3 bedroom semi-detached house in Sandhills in Carlow.</p>
<p>As all the &#8220;for sale&#8221; websites only show a few boring pictures I&#8217;ve started a site purely to give people a better idea of what the house is like &#8211; and why we loved living there so much. It will be updated (hopefully daily) with articles on what you can expect in the house, in the estate and local area and things you can do when you want to get out for a while.</p>
<p>If you know anyone that is interested then please ask them to have a look at <a href="http://www.73sandhills.ie">www.73sandhills.ie</a> and to contact us if they would like a closer look.</p>

<p>From my own work with the Social Media Working Group I can warn you that it can involve a lot of work. It can also be very rewarding. For me personally it has rounded out my level of knowledge and exposed me to areas of Social Media that I normally don&#8217;t work with.</p>
<p>If you are in a business that has the potential for internationalisation (or of course if you have already done the legwork) then get in contact with Roseanne to find out who else is involved and how your experiences may fit in.</p>
