This incident was pretty typical of the 'traditional' business people that I came into contact with whilst promoting the BizCampNewry Event. The impression that I was left with was that they expect (almost demand) that everyone should be fighting to be their customer not the other way round! Hopefully some of these people will have been inspired by the generous sharing of information / knowledge, competitors supporting one another and the obvious hard work the speakers put in to prepare that was very evident yesterday. I think that the core Biz/Bar campers are a unique crowd, passionate about their products and sector and are not afraid to put themselves out there for criticism - It was simply that attitude that inspired me to organise the event, so again a big thank you to all the BizCampNewry speakers and attendees.

I thoroughly enjoyed your talk. I think "that old guy" did not understand the basic bizcamp concept. It's one thing to have an opinion and another to be downright rude. May I say you conducted yourself impeccably and better to remain with your dignity intact. I admire everyone who talked yesterday. It was a fantastically well organised and I would never make the mistake of missing a "camp" again. I found all delegates (bar one) very sociable and keen to network and share ideas and contacts. Very much looking forward to bizcampbelfast now and to hearing you speak again :) Jacqueline Jason,
