10 February 2017: RT Mojocon is heading to Galway city.
@MojoconIRL I 4th 6th May, Radisson Blu, Galway I #mojocon #RTEMojocon
After two successful years in Dublin, RT Mojocon is heading to Galway city. From Thursday 4th Saturday 6thMay, the leading international conference on mobile journalism, mobile content creation, mobile photography and new technology will be taking up residence in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Galway.
Following positive feedback from previous delegates, RT Mojocon has added an extra day, to create a three-day conference packed with plenary sessions from successful professionals, workshops with industry experts, a mojo exhibition and all the popular fringe events, including photo-walks, exhibitions and pub crawls. Early bird tickets have already sold out, but a number of the 300 three-day tickets are still available at https://mojocon.rte.ie/.
Among this year's innovations is a specially chartered Dublin-Galway #Mojotrain complete with 12 mojo trainers for RT Mojocon attendees. The mojo trainers (4 per carriage) will be delivering mojo photography and video tips throughout the journey. The one-way train leaves Dublin at 3pm. For details or to book, visit https://mojocon.rte.ie/mojo-train-dublin-galway/
Glen Mulcahy, RT 's Head of Innovation and founder and organiser of RT Mojocon said: In a short time, RT Mojocon has established itself as a major technology conference on the international events calendar and the fact that we have added an extra day in response to delegate demand demonstrates how popular the conference has become. Not only do we have broad appeal by attracting top industry storytellers and hosting engaging and informative workshops, but we really look after our delegates. This creates a supportive environment that allows us to learn from each other and I'm sure that the intimate surroundings and unique charm of Galway will help make this year's conference another great success.
RT Mojocon will again showcase the wealth and breadth of pioneering work being done by media organisations, broadcasters, companies and individuals around the globe to truly explore and develop the potential of smart devices as high-quality content creation and consumption tools.
