Speakers from RTE, RaboDirect, Channelship, Mason Hayes and Curran, CEUD NDA, Google Ireland and YouTube all spoke at the event and helped to make it a great success. Pictured is Sebastian Missoffe from YouTube in action from Conor at the top table!
There was very positive feedback with most feeling they learned a great deal about audio and video content online.

Connect with Green students
by connector on June 4th, 2008
I was talking to the ECO-UNESCO team at a recent Green event in the RDS and I was telling them about Bebo & YouTube and how they should use web video & social networking to connect with young Green students around Ireland.
Elaine Nevin, ECO-UNESCO Director, listened & fair play to her as now we have 40 videos going live online from their annual awards in the Mansion House, featuring RTE’s Aidan Power.
This was arranged by connector.ie with help from Progressive Productions in Ranelagh. Thanks also to Fernanda & her team who were very helpful. l will report back soon on some stats and how well these videos perform in terms of YouTube views. Some brand or company should sponsor this next year … it’s a fantastic event.
