Saint Brigid's Legacy - One Woman’s Journey of Resilience

Geraldine Osborne tells her remarkable experience in the Arctic Circle.

'Somewhere Cold' is about pushing boundaries, embracing the unknown and discovering that sometimes the most valuable lessons come from unexpected places.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon dedicated to female entrepreneurship, resilience, and creativity, as we honour St. Brigid’s Day—a symbol of strength and renewal—and launch the She Succeeds 2026 calendar of events.

This is the 3rd annual gathering to celebrate St. Brigid and it brings together women in business for networking, learning, and empowerment, featuring Kildare’s Geraldine Osborne, author of Somewhere Cold. Her keynote will share her remarkable experience in Antarctica, a journey that reflects the essence of pushing boundaries, embracing the unknown, and discovering that the most valuable lessons often come from unexpected places.

Attendees should arrive at Kilkea Castle, Athy for 12noon for registration and networking. You will enjoy a 2-course lunch throughout the afternoon and receive a copy of Geraldine’s book 'Somewhere Cold.'

The Local Enterprise Team will also officially launch the exciting line-up of events designed to support and celebrate women in enterprise in 2026.

This event is in collaboration with Network Ireland Kildare Branch.

Together, we honour Brigid’s legacy and the entrepreneurial spirit that drives women forward.
