Expo to help Cork northside firms beat recession

A major expo, conference, and workshops are planned as part of a drive to help businesses on Cork’s northside overcome the recession.

Details of the initiative were outlined at a meeting last night, at which those involved said the highlight of the programme would be a conference and showcase at the Neptune Stadium on Sept 27-28.

Workshops will concentrate on themes including “managing in times of uncertainty” and “social media and branding”.
