The very first Teen Camp Ireland was held last Saturday in Filmbase in Temple Bar. Organised by Alan Costello and Enda Crowley, it was put together to enable teenage users of the web to get together to discuss technology and of course to make new friends and network amongst each other.
Everyone got the chance to introduce themselves, however as i was running almost 2 hours late (having lost 20 smokes and being drenched in the downpour!) i had missed this part of the day. After the introductions and some great talks they broke for lunch and what followed afterwards was a great discussion about Blogging and why and what blogs you read.
Mulley had posted up some of the talks from the day including my one
Over all, some people do know my feelings on these ‘networking’ events but i have to say i was very impressed by how this was put together and the turn out on the day. Events like these are very important and especially to the likes of the younger age bracket that might slightly feel like a fish out of water at some of the larger events.
Some of the links of the day!

The amount of talented guys and girls not much younger than me is scarey! I seriously will be working for you guys in the near future! Be sure to spread the word for future events!
It was great to see some known faces and make the acquaintance of some new ones too! Looking forward to seeing you all at the Irish Blog Awards and at future Teen Camp events where it’ rumoured that Damien is to give a talk in ‘Cyber Stalking – Make it work *FOR* You!’
Oh and before you think this post is FAR too serious….this is what Teen Camp Ireland really was all about for me….
