Forum to host 150-plus firms

THERE is a 60/40 Dublin- Cork breakdown in the 150-plus firms registered for next week’s CORKMEET DUBLIN 2011 networking forum in the Croke Park Conference Centre.

The forum will host 3,000 face-to-face meetings in what previous participants have called “economic speed dating with a difference”. This year’s focus is on indigenous Irish companies, with fewer multinationals appearing than in previous years.

Sectors represented include hospitality with Brennan’s Hotels, Temple Bar Cultural Centre; food with Carroll’s Foods, Kilbeg Dairies and Fastnet Catch; and other sectors such as Action Point Software, Paycheck Plus, MCS Computers, One Stop Engineering, Dog Training Ireland, retail consultants Hays, as well as logistics and other services.
