As the dust has settled on what was an incredible ⁦@WebSummit⁩ 2023. I just want to thank and raise awareness to the 340+ people who work tirelessly to put on an amazing show for our 70k + attendees. You all are absolute pros. Well done #websummit

@EoinKeane101 @AerLingus I feel your pain.

18.5 tier credits away from platinum status on aer lingus and I go back to zero on 1st April. @AerLingus you are a cruel mistress

📣 Jobs announcement 📣 The Whistleblower is hiring a General Manager, as well as several bookshop and barista assistants to help create a space where literature, caffeine, and ideas collide across five floors of reading rooms, meeting rooms, event spaces and a bookshop.

The Whistleblower bookshop is coming together. We’re ~4 weeks out from a little opening night on South Anne Street.

@caulmick @Independent_ie Most stupid waste of time article I have read in a long time

Matt Cooper says all relevant disclosures were made over interviews with clients of PR firm linked to his daughter -Mark Tighe The Sunday Independent has established that Cooper has interviewed — on his Magnified podcast and on his Today FM show The Last Word — a series of business executives who have been represented by Beachhut PR, the public relations company where his daughter Andie Cooper was an account director until earlier this month. #BeMediaAware #MattCooper #HowIrelandWorks independent.ie/irish-news/mat…

This article is such a waste of time. Podcasts need guests, PR agencies are the best to get you those guests. Just happens that the person involved here works at one of the best agencies in Ireland. 🤔 independent.ie/irish-news/mat…

First sign for The Whistleblower installed. Fit out running ahead of schedule. Logo is 🔥

Ten years ago, @RevolutApp arrived as a tiny startup at the @WebSummit. Now, it is serving over 65million customers worldwide and is Europe's largest fintech by market value. Where will it be in the next ten years? Images @paddycosgrave, Graham Ross

Konferencja Web Summit w Polsce? To możliwe!

After two weeks in China, visiting Unitree robotics & top AI startups, I think it’s unlikely the West will ever catch China in AI or robotics. The West squandered its huge lead in tech in pursuit of short term profit. Dare I say the West’s century of humiliation may be upon us.

Just visited Unitree’s HQ in China, possibly the most important robotics startup in the world. My mind is blown 🤖🤯

🗣️ "Where was Jim Gavin during the same-sex marriage referendum?....I didn't see Jim Gavin showing this great 'leadership' that we keep hearing about him." @fionnansheahan and @PaulMcauliffe on the contrasting knowledge of Billy Kelleher and Jim Gavin's positions. #TonightVMTV

"Look at that!!" Tipperary manager Liam Cahill's interview with Thomas Niblock is gatecrashed 😂 #bbcgaa #gaa

"During a company event at a Colplay concert I offered my head of HR a Murray Mint which she accepted. Whilst singing along to Yellow she accidentally swallowed the mint, and I was forced to perform the Heimlich maneuver just as the Jumbotron camera focused on us."

🚨 Announcement 🚨 Just 150 people came to the first Web Summit in Dublin. I never imagined it would grow to hundreds of thousands of founders, startups, investors and business people, attending every year across multiple Web Summit’s on almost every continent. Today we’re announcing a major new partnership with Brazil and our host city, Rio de Janeiro. We’ve signed a new five year partnership agreement keeping Web Summit in Rio until 2030. I was honoured to be joined by Brazil’s Minister for Innovation and Rio’s Mayor on stage to make the announcement last night in Rio. A big thank you to Sao Paulo who were a close second, but in the end nothing compares to Rio. Most importantly nothing compares to Brazil in South America. This giant of a country is no longer sleeping. Brazil is very much awake, and it’s innovating like never before. We’re looking forward to bringing tens of thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, business people and more from around the world to Brazil over the coming half decade. Finally, a big thank you to the incredible team at Web Summit. This is a hugely significant milestone for us. We’ve an awful lot to celebrate these last few weeks. 🧑‍🍳 😘 ♟️ I hope to see you in Rio or somewhere in the world soon. Much love. ❤️ 👍
