Second Annual International Business Women's Conference Announced
Enterprise Ireland has announced the second annual International Business Women's Conference, which gathers leaders from across the business and entrepreneurial spectrum to celebrate the business achievements and success stories of women today.
The Conference will take place in conjunction with the Rose of Tralee international Festival on Monday 22 August in the Brandon Hotel, Tralee.
This year's conference theme is 'The Changing Face of Success', focussing on strong female role models leading by example and empowering women to fulfil their ambitions. Senior female figures such as Eleanor McEvoy and Norah Casey from Dragons' Den will share their experiences and insights on themes such as leadership, linking the digital age and entrepreneurship.
Announcing the conference, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mary Mitchell O'Connor said: "I am delighted that the International Business Women's Conference is in its second year. This is a hugely important and inspiring event which brings together successful, inspirational female entrepreneurs.
"It is great to see the range and diversity of the speakers that will be attending the conference. Promoting the achievements of women actively encourages others to aim high and in turn creates a valuable contribution to both the economy and society here in Ireland. Creating the environment for more startups to develop and grow is a key priority for me and female entrepreneurs can play a major role in job creation."
Sponsored by AIB, the Department of the Diaspora and media partner Tatler, conference delegates will also hear from the Rose of Tralee, Elysha Brennan, as well as previous Roses including 2005 Rose of Tralee, Dr. Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin.
