Resilient Business Breakfast with Susan Hayes Culleton: Strategy, Solutions, and Support

On Wednesday, 23rd September 2026, the Seven Oaks Hotel, Carlow, will host a breakfast seminar led by renowned economist and financial strategist Susan Hayes Culleton. Designed for SMEs navigating the complexities of the current fiscal year, this session shifts the focus from surviving to thriving through a blend of macroeconomic insight and practical, "on-the-ground" tactics.

The Core Pillars of Resilience

The seminar is structured around three critical themes essential for business longevity in 2026:

• Real-World Challenges: A candid analysis of the 2026 economic landscape, including shifting interest rates, the practical integration of AI, and the local labour market.
• Smart Solutions: Susan delivers a "toolkit" of financial strategies and efficiency hacks designed to protect margins and identify hidden market opportunities.
• Local Supports: A spotlight on the regional resources, grants, and mentoring available within the Carlow business ecosystem to ensure no entrepreneur operates in isolation.

Running from 7:30 am to 9:30 am. It begins with a networking breakfast, followed by an intensive keynote and an interactive Q&A session. This format ensures that by 9:30 am, attendees leave with more than just information they depart with renewed confidence, a clearer strategic roadmap, and strengthened peer connections.

Whether you are scaling a startup or steering an established firm, this seminar provides the rare opportunity to step out of the daily "grind" and into a space of strategic growth.
