THE FOURTH ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL BUSINESS CONFERENCES

The Sunday Business Post’s Entrepreneurs Conferences have been running for 4 years now and have gone from strength to strength over the years. This conference is Ireland’s leading entrepreneurs and small business event. It’s a get together for small business owners, entrepreneurs, investors and service providers to share ideas, keep up to date with new developments, get motivated, network with peers and discuss investments. All delegates leave inspired and motivated with a ‘can do’ attitude.

This cutting edge event will not only be an interactive sharing of ideas but also an excellent networking opportunity to learn from others. An impressive line-up of speakers, visionary leaders, national and international experts - all professionally involved in small business, entrepreneurship and exports. Keynote speakers will deliver succinct presentations, allowing time at the end of each session for an open forum to discuss the issues participants find most important.

There will be a Q & A at the end of each session for delegates to ask questions and get involved. There will also be four keynote presentations at the start of each session and Financing and Mentoring Panel Discussions.

Delegates to this conference will come away with a fresh outlook on business and export potential, a better understanding of the economy, a revitalized vision of how to succeed and most importantly, the motivation to go for it with a can-do attitude.
