ISME Roadshow is coming to Gormanston

The Irish SME Association (ISME) Roadshow series is kicking off this month and will come to CityNorth Hotel, Gormanston on Thursday, 22nd September from 9am – 11am.

ISME will host upcoming events in Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Cork, Wexford, Limerick, Roscommon and Galway. Refreshments are provided at all events; admission is complimentary, and all businesses are welcome to attend.

The programme for the series will include an address by ISME’s CEO, Neil McDonnell with an update on ISME activity; along with discussions and talks by guest speakers about key topics for businesses today; and ending with Pitch my business – a networking event allowing business representatives to give a 2-minute pitch and network with fellow businesspeople. The duration will be approximately two hours, including a Q&A session. ISME invites those who register to attend to send questions or comments and they will be used at each event.

Commenting on the series ISME Chief Executive, Neil McDonnell said: “After two and a half years of remote meetings, it is great for us to be back on the road, meeting members and other business owners. This is a really difficult time for many businesses, with rising costs, lower consumer confidence, and increasing regulation on the way. But there is information and help available to for you, and we look forward to addressing your issues during our roadshows.”

The Roadshow will kick off in September with two events −at the Lucan Spa Hotel on Wednesday, 21st September at 8am – 10am and CityNorth Hotel, Gormanston on Thursday, 22nd September at 9am – 11am.
