OUT ON YOUR OWN 2011

THE THIRD ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL BUSINESS CONFERENCES

Many highly-regarded economists believe we are now at the bottom of the recessionary curve. This means many superb business opportunities are just around the corner for the SME sector which is the life blood of the Irish economy. The development of new businesses is the key to the country’s efforts to develop organically, and getting these companies to export their goods and services is essential to pulling Ireland out of recession and into a sustainable period of economic growth and job creation. Following on from the previous two years of successful Out On Your Own events, The Sunday Business Post is dedicated to further expanding this year’s event. A new regular weekly feature in The Sunday Business Post is the Out On Your Own Pages, which are dedicated to covering the start-up and entrepreneurial sectors and has proved extremely popular with readers. Last year’s event was a huge success, sponsored by Sage with over 500 delegates in attendance in Dublin. We were also delighted that the exhibition stand packages sold out. The continued success of this event is due to the excellent conference agenda and the cheap delegate price. We are delighted to have all the Dragons from RTE’s Dragons’ Den confirmed to give keynote presentations, as well as the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton. To grow these conferences significantly it is necessary to have the best high-profile inspirational speakers and leading entrepreneurs in Ireland involved, and the Dragons are our foremost examples. Furthermore, distinguished Sunday Business Post journalist Richard Curran, presenter of The Dragons’ Den, will again chair the event, with many interactive discussions and networking opportunities planned for this year.
