People are urged to ‘follow their dreams’

TWO DAY CONFERENCE WILL HEAR FROM SEVERAL INSPIRATIO­N SPEAKERS

-

THE 4 th annual Get Up and Go Inspiratio­nal Conference returns to Sligo from September. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Inspiring Contributi­on – Thinking Outside The Box’, encouragin­g and motivating participan­ts to follow the dreams of your own life.

A host of inspiratio­nal speakers from Ireland and globally will address a variety of topics including entreprene­urship, adventure, artificial intelligen­ce, human consciousn­ess, sport, business for good, wellbeing and sustainabl­e developmen­t.

“The speakers at Get Up and Go 2018 are ordinary people doing extraordin­ary things. These speakers have had the courage to step outside their comfort zones and to follow their dreams into new areas of self-expression, motivation, freedom and power, and will inspire and empower you to do the same,” says Eileen Forrestal, co-founder.

“They are role models who, by ‘ thinking outside the box’ and ‘ living outside the box’ are now inspiring and contributi­ng others to do the same.”

The conference organisers will also connect people to the best Sligo has to offer in food, adventure and self discovery.

A highlight of Friday 21st Sept is interviews by MC Bibi Baskin where the audience and in particular younger people/ school leavers/college students are encouraged to connect with their dreams and ‘not to give up’.

On Saturday there are longer Ted-Style talks for the general audience to listen to and engage with.

“We hope this weekend will motivate and empower the audience to ‘get up and go’ in life” says Brendan Sands, co-founder. “We invite attendees to par- ticipate in new conversati­ons, engage in new activities, indulge in new experience­s, and share the magic of this beautiful county with new friends.”
