iQ BootCamp 2006: All over and all happy
– posted November 3rd, 2006 by Morgan McKeagney No comments
The Boot Camp is finished for this year, and we’ve just about got our breaths back. Now all that’s left for us to debrief, analyse the feedback, and get our planning hats on for next year. And you can help!
iQ BootCamp 2.0: Bigger and better
This year we completely revised the BootCamp format to make it more condensed, more interactive, and funkier generally. New features included:
- a great new venue in Dublin’s Morrison Hotel
- 9 completely new half-day workshops
- the inaugural iQ Gurus - an afternoon Q&A with four expert speakers. (You can read Brian’s blog of the highlights of the Guru speeches.)
- Apres Boot - cocktails and inimitable Irish alcoholic excess at our closing party
So how did it all go down?
Really, really well. In fact, the feedback from this BootCamp has probably been the best we’ve ever got.
Several people commented that it was “the best conference” they’d ever been to. Other comments included:
- “The bootcamp was great; I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. I’ll recommend it to anyone who’ll listen!”
- “Excellent — really liked the interactive format, anecdotes and examples used. Kept it very interesting.”
- “Very good. Entertaining and it has left me fired up with new ideas to take back to work.”

Even better for 2007
Our objective now is to build on this, and work hard to make next year even better.
Just some of the things we’re looking at:
- Better promotion: so that more people hear about it, and more people get the opportunity to attend
- New workshops: addressing the topics that web managers and developers want to hear about
- New locations: bringing the Boot Camp closer to our audience, by delivering in new cities and locations
You can help!
