Despite all the gloom surrounding us in recent times – people are still plotting, planning and looking positively to the New Year and new opportunities. Northwest Connects, a grounds-up event – planned on a shoestring – draws over 100 people to the Innovation Centre in IT Sligo this weekend.
The one-day conference aims to connect local creativity, innovation and regional networks and will showcase the expertise in the region through panel discussions and seminars.
Seamus Farrell, MD of SF Engineering, and Sligo Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year, is today confirmed as another speaker for the event. Farrell adds to an impressive and dynamic range of speakers that have been confirmed so far including Drury Communications MD, Padraig McKeon; Robert Martin, CEO of local award-winning e-marketing solutions company Infacta; Innovation and Social Media Consultant, Johnny Beirne; Surf Seeds MD, Tim Rooney; and Justin Knecht of the Centre of Design Innovation.
Northwest Connects acts at a grassroots level to promote innovation, learning and networking for the region. Entrepreneurs, innovators and people with business ideas are registered to attend the event this Saturday in Sligo.
The conference has a strong education and innovation theme, with many networking opportunities set up, three streams of speakers throughout the day and informative and set-to-be lively panel discussions throughout the afternoon.
The conference is being organised by members of Open Coffee Sligo, a casual networking group who are eager to highlight the creative and innovative work of companies and individuals in the North West Region.
