Bono draws curtain on RDS

After three days, more than 600 speakers, and a combined 60 hours of discussion on its widest array of topics, Web Summit 2014 drew to a close last night in Dublin with a familiar face at the helm.

Pint-sized rocker Bono, complete with a newfound twang of unrecognisable origins, was as self-aware as ever when he somewhat uncomfortably told the thousands that had showed up to hear him speak that size really does matter.

Having followed other keynote speakers of similar stature such as Eva Longoria and Paul McGinley as the main attractions over the three days at Europe’s largest tech conference, the irony was complete.
