As part of the conference, Dublin Institute of Technology are organising a dedicated Entrepreneurs Day to take place on Wednesday June 11th.

There will also be an opportunity to get a better understanding of the power of social media for your business.
The extensive programme will include addresses from Raomal Perera on how to raise money through successful crowd funding campaigns and Nigel Newman encouraging lateral thinking and reimagining success. Serial entrepreneur Noelle O’Connor and Dragon’s Den star Gavin Duffy give their insights into building successful businesses in Ireland while the final address of the day will be given by Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey who are serial entrepreneurs, industry reformers, successful brand builders, and co-founders of hugely successful Barefoot Cellars.
The day aims to allow entrepreneurs to talk practically with fellow entrepreneurs and to leave attendees with a better understanding of good leadership skills, new problem solving techniques and a fresh approach to social media for success.
