IMO to downsize annual meeting

THE Irish Management Institute has postponed its annual two-day conference this year, replacing it with a less glitzy think-tank at its headquarters.

The postponement will be a blow to the five star Ritz-Carlton hotel in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, which had been booked for the conference.

This is not the first time the event has been postponed. It was also put on hold during the foot and mouth outbreak.
