Reliving it@cork Tech Summit 2019
 |
The annual it@cork Tech Summit (#techcork19) took place on the 9th of May in the iconic City Hall, Cork City. This annual tech conference has grown to become one of the largest tech conferences in the country. The event was bigger and better than ever before and was the first time the event completely sold out with over 450 in attendance.
Some of the key highlights from this year’s event were:
- #Techcork19 trended number 1 in Ireland and reached +14m twitter impressions (and counting!).
- It was the first time that we live streamed the event. We chose to live stream the event so that the
broader tech community and the Cork diaspora community overseas could view the conference remotely. We were delighted to have viewers online from the UK, US, India, Australia and many other countries.
- It was the first time to showcase interactive sessions in cyber security (live hack) and an
engineering skills workshop.
- We showcased a BYTE (Bridging Your Transition in Education) project which is supported by the
School’s Excellence Fund, an initiative promoting IT in schools. Transition year students from Deerpark CBS and primary school students from Greenmount NS and Morning Star NS gave an excellent demonstration on their robotics project.
