Bold New Frontiers – Women in Business Event – 27^th May 2015
Have you ever asked yourself the following question 'What will my business look like in 2020?' We all know that change is constant in the business world but in recent years, the technological advancements have hit us all with incredible speed and intensity. The technologies shaping how we do business today are very different from the technologies that shaped our world five years ago. So what can we do about it? How can we keep up with the speed of change and keep ahead of the curve?
Join us on the 27th May 2015 in the Woodford Dolmen Hotel, Carlow and tune in to what Conall O' Morain has to say about being prepared. As the Presenter of the Today FM Sunday Business Show Conall has talked to many businesses owners and has his finger on the pulse when it comes to emerging trends.
