Live at the Web Summit.
The first day of the Web Summit has come to a close and the big question is; how was the WiFi in the RDS?
The answer is, ‘mixed’.
What started as a strong connection soon became slow, while stalling completely for long periods, before returning to a healthy connection when numbers started dwindling in the evening.
First day of #websummit. Overwhelming experience, tons of great talks and loads of inspiration. Looking forward to the rest! Wifi works.

There were some memorable speeches, with the CEO of Slack expressing some very strong opinions on the future of email and a huge Irish rugby star being brutally honest in his assessment of Ireland’s defeat against Argentina.
Liverpool CEO Ian Ayre then shared remarkable behind-the-scenes workings of the social media landscape at the club, while certain items at the Web Summit were proving a bit pricey.
JOE met up with a legendary Premier League striker as well as talking a number of very impressive Irish start-ups.
We gave these start-ups the chance to impress on camera, and they did not disappoint.
