BlogTalk is a big international conference around the Social Media space.

The last BlogTalk conference was in Vienna and featured speakers such as Danah Boyd, Suw Charman, and Matt Mullenweg.

Thomas Burg, John Breslin and I are going to see if we can organise the next BlogTalk conference for Early March 2008 in Cork.

All in favour say “Aye!”

When is a good day to hold a conference?

I am involved with the not-for-profit, IT Professionals networking organisation, IT@Cork.

We have our annual conference around the end of November - last year’s was spectacularly successful with speakers like Robert Scoble and Charles Handy.

I thas come time to organise this year’s conference and I’m wondering what is the perceived wisdom on good days to hold conferences?

Obviously weekends are out, as are Mondays (if something happens at work over the weekend, people can’t make the conference on the Monday morning).

What about the other days of the week? Tuesday to Friday - any obvious reasons not to go for any of those days?
