YOU’ VE seen Dragon’s Den, Entreprene­ur of The Year and all those other mentoring, networking and business shows – The Xchange offers the best of everything to give ambitious business leaders a competitiv­e edge.

The Xchange takes place on October 5 th and 6 th 2017 in The Radisson Sligo and it’s now open for companies to register their interest.

This isn’t another ‘startup’ get together: it’s for people who are already running good businesses, probably doing a lot right but probably some things not so well.

In a nutshell, The Xchange allows businesses and entreprene­urs from across Ireland to engage with a group of successful business leaders and executives, pick their brains and ask them during exclusive one-on-one sessions for advice, tips, shortcuts, goal-setting do’s and don’ts as well as suggestion­s for business success.

Everyone then sits down together for a great dinner and a chance to meet and exchange business knowledge and insights with all involved. Attendees include Sean Duffy, CEO of LotusWorks, Fergal Broder, serial entreprene­ur and Ticketmast­er founder Tommy Higgins, Gillian Buckley, investment manager of the WDC Investment Fund and Cindy Barnes of Futurecurv­e.

LotusWorks CEO Fergal Broder said those attending can reap real benefits:

“The Xchange is really about bringing establishe­d young entreprene­urs into a setting to meet with successful entreprene­urs. We love doing what we are doing but inevitably we face challenges, this event allows us to share stories and learn from mistakes others made. A problem shared is problem halvedtaki­ng a day away from the desk into a setting with like-minded people gives us all a new and energised perspectiv­e.”

Aidan Doyle, CEO of Sligo Chamber said: “This is really a wonderful opportunit­y for seasoned and emerging entreprene­urs to share knowledge, skills and experience while promoting the region as a place in which to do business.”
