10,000 meetings among the highlights of CorkMeet 2013

As part of the Gathering 10,000 one-to-one meetings with hundreds of international businesses are set to take place next year at the CorkMeet in the Rochestown Park Hotel.

The three-day event, which runs from Apr 10-12, offers companies a range of business-focused activities, including a welcoming reception, pre-arranged meetings, an afternoon business conference, a gourmet picnic in the hotel grounds with all food and drink sourced locally, a networking dinner at the Curraheen Park Greyhound Stadium, and a closing address by a surprise speaker, each providing an opportunity to make vital contacts.

Cork County Mayor Barbara Murray said there had been huge interest in attending.
