Pat Phelan: Bits, bytes and telecomsMobile, Roaming and Social Media

Probably of the most exciting days and nights yesterday here at 3GSM
The show yesterday appeared to be more about people and a lot more excellent contacts were made but the real deal yesterday was the MAXroam/QIK party. We were late getting there ourselves due to a crazy taxi driver but eventually made it.
The line-up was really cool and it stayed just right numbers wise, everybody got to talk to everyone and lots of news business contacts were made.
The line up was excellent with me finally putting faces to lots and lots of names

We ran a little contest which went excellent from our point of view as the only journalist attending won first prize, Congrats to John Collins and belated thanks for the huge article in The Irish Times which he hasn’t written yet , well done Jenny on that sleight of hand.

I could write all night about how really great it was for us to pull off the party and all the amazing people who attended but I’m exhausted and about to start another Barcelona day so I am just going to name all the great people. Alec Saunders, Andy Abramson, John Collins, Bhaskar Roy, Dave Evans, Martyn Davies, Jonathon Zar, Jason Curry, Graham Moss, Diarmuid Quinn, Niall Larkin (finally we met), Niall Cusack, Jenny Callicott, Richard Walsh, Daniel McCarthy, David Nash, Sharon Kiernan, Jonas Eklund, Jeb Brilliant, Paul Walsh, Zidan Nekmouche, Jesus Torrellardona, Jennifer Janson, James Body, Florian Seroussi, Michael Madden, Daniel Appelquist, John Wait, Grace O Dwyer. and Paul Kinsella

If I left you out sorry
Quick stop at Swedish beers resulted in a late night advice call.

From there it was a quick bite and onto a private party at The Buddha Bar, yes Loren and Paul that’s with two flippin D’s , anyways Michelle Oshen definitely Loren Feldman’s better half explains it way cooler than me below.

Final thanks to Mireia of QIK who sorted most everything out 
