New Rubicon Center website
The Rubicon Center which hosts many of our Cork Open Coffee meetings has a grand spanking new website at http://www.rubiconcentre.ie/. Its a great looking site with some great imagery from around the Rubicon building. Cork Open Coffee is in their Useful Links section.
The site contains plenty of information about the range of services offered in the Rubicon. If you’re a start up business take a look at the Enterprise Start programme and the Genesis Enterprise programme.
Keep an eye on the Latest News section of the site for enrolments for these programmes and other goings on in the Rubicon. The Enterprise Start programme is taking enrolments right now.
The Admin section allows us to book the conference room for Friday mornings for Open Coffee demos, we’re booked in for the next few months so we’re well prepared for the next few meetings.

Cork Open Beer
Cork Open Coffee is going strong each fortnight but there are a few who can’t make it on a Friday morning during work hours.
At the last Open Coffee in Nosh+Coffee it was decided to organise an evening event.
Right now the plan is to meet on Friday the 28th of August somewhere in
Cork.
Are you interested in attended an Open Coffee – evening style? Any
recommendations for a location and a time to kick off?
How about the newly renovated Bodega? Theres plenty of space inside and its
an ideal spot for evening meals, drinks etc.
