At least in the Dublin one I went to. Essentially, OC is all about business getting done, but Blogger Coffee doesn't have that goal. It's an extra if business gets done. Something value added. @James It’s not all business cards and sales pitches, but a fair degree of it is. At least in the Dublin one I went to.

I just wouldn't want those who haven't attended getting the wrong impression that it's all about sales pitches and pushing business cards. :) @Alexia agreed, their daytime setting does tend to narrow down the field of attendees to the self-employed or those with very flexible employment.

Something that makes it impossible for those with 9-5s to attend. @James: Perhaps they are, but you can’t deny the fact that they are held during the work day.

It should be noted though that OpenCoffee Limerick has been more informal than you might think. I've only been given business cards there when I asked for them, I've never been given a sales pitch there and Antoin and myself spent much of one in November talking about football :-) Fair play to yourself and Antoin for pushing this forward.
