As I mentioned before, I am making the trip over to Dublin in May for the event.

Its already over a week ago that I was able to attend the LCTY event held in Madrid. This was the first of a six being held in major Spanish cities.
Having been lucky enough to attend Lotusphere back in 2003 I was not expecting anything on the same scale, but this was my first IBM official event here in Spain, and I went very interested to see what kind of energy the local IBM people would be able to convey in their presentations and messages.
I will try to find time to write a full impression of the day, as I have found it interesting to hear of the various reflections from other events from people such as , , and , not to mention in English for me to compare with the Spanish version.
I have to be honest though and say I left a little disappointed. But I don’t want to just criticise, rather go into details and properly explain why.

Yet another storm, today we have had 120+ km/h winds. The sea was quite a sight this morning. Hope it’ll calm down overnight though, as its not particularly pleasant going outside!
