Write a commentNewry Chamber of Commerce and Trade and Dundalk Chamber of Commerce are joining forces again to host the annual Cross Border Speed Networking event which will take place on the 29th January 2009 in the Carrickdale Hotel.
Orla Jackson, Chief Executive of Newry Chamber stated, ‘Over 100 business representatives from Newry and Dundalk attended last year’s event; valuable contacts were made with some organisations securing significant contracts during the session, ranging in value from £2k to £20k, whilst others made important long-term contacts…not bad for a mornings work!!’
Ms Jackson added, ‘Speed Networking events have proved to be a phenomenal success world wide, by adding a cross border dimension to our event we guarantee participating businesses with the opportunity to meet a large number of individuals that they would never otherwise have had the chance to network with in a unique, highly cost-effective, focused and fun environment’.
Ms Jackson explained, ‘On the day of the event, delegates will be divided into two groups and allocated 3 minutes to network with a member of the opposite group before a bell rings, notifying them to move onto the next delegate’.
This event is once again generously sponsored by InterTradeIreland and will be held in the Carrickdale Hotel, Dundalk from 9.30am to 1.30pm on Thursday 29th January 2009.
The event costs £30 for Newry Chamber members and £40 for non-members (includes lunch). For further details please contact Ms Orla Jackson, Newry Chamber on (028) 3025 0303 ext 2 or email: info@newrychamber.com Places are limited - so book early to avoid disappointment!!
