Bizfest due to take place at opera house

-

BIZFEST, a free networking event aimed at helping Irish companies to develop their networks and expand their business, is due to take place on Thursday, June 21 at the National Opera House.

With the theme of ‘Look further, think bigger, be ambitious’, Bizfest 2017 will be hosted by Local Enterprise Offices from the south-east region and Enterprise Ireland.

The event, which is sponsored by Bank of Ireland, provides opportunit­ies for owners, managers and their key staff across Ireland to make connection­s while immersing themselves in the experience, entreprene­urial spirit and stories of entreprene­urs.

Bizfest has three elements; a networking lunch, an exhibition area which introduces attendees to services which may benefit their business, and a panel event featuring unique business people who have experience on the local, national and internatio­nal stage.

This year’s panel includes Julie Sinnamon CEO of Enterprise Ireland, Patsy Carney CEO of Eirgen, Jim Hughes CEO of Innovate and Paul Jacob Owner of Smart Storage.

The event will be hosted by Newstalk presenter and Wexford native, Ivan Yates. Tom Banville, Head of Enterprise at Wexford County Council’s Local Enterprise Office (LEO) said local enterprise office networking events are highly popular and engaging events which generate much interest from businesses and make connection­s happen, ‘which in turn helps to develop key relationsh­ips, boost revenues and maintain and create jobs’.
