2nd MOCC with entrepreneur Michael Thornhill from Maithú
We are very happy to announce that Michael Thornhill from Maithú will be our guest speaker on the 2nd Mayo Open Coffee Club in the Innovation in Business Centre, GMIT in Castlebar on the 11th of March @11.30am
Michael will tell us how networking helped him land his biggest deal with the multinational company, Samsung to whom he sold his software package for phones; ‘Get the Focal’, a mobile phone application which provides over 12,000 English-Irish translations for off-line use. This application is ideal for Irish language students, parents, teachers, or anyone interested in the Irish language and as Des Bishop said “Get Focal’d!”
We are equally happy to be host to the Club Caife on the 11th, which is a networking event that will give local businesses an opportunity to network with each other in an informal setting and also to learn about opportunities that are available to market their business in a unique way using the Irish language. The Club Caife will tour the County from March 9th to 12th:
- Dalton Inn Hotel, Claremorris – 9th March
- Ballina Library, Ballina – 10th March
- Innovation in Business Centre, GMIT, Castlebar –11th March, 11.30am
- Áras Inis Gluaire, Belmullet – 12th March

I should be there.
Apologies, I am over the road in MGH!
How did it go today?
The event that took place in the Innovation Centre at GMIT Castlebar was very enjoyable. There were over 20 people in attendance and a lot of new faces with that. I chatted to some people afterwards who saw the value in this type of networking.
Therefore onwards and upwards for the Mayo Open Coffee Club!
