The Irish Software Association Conference 2006   May 18th, 2006

I spent this morning a the ISA Conference 2006. I had hoped to have a bash at live blogging but there was no WIFI so I was reduced to taking notes. It was a fairly sedate affair with only Pat Brazel managing to get a few laughs out the audience. The theme was new models, new approaches but the speakers spoke mostly about old models and old approaches. The topic of new models was addressed much more credibly at the recent Web 2.0 event held by Enterprise Ireland.

My notes are on the sidebar. Fergus Gloster of Salesforce.com had a few interesting things the say about SAAS and Pat Brazel did a very quick and useful presentation on acquiring companies and being acquired.

The rest is leaving my memory as I type this, bye,bye…

Hi Joe,

I was there also. Great event if you’re serious about scaling your business. This seems to be the role that ISA are filling.
