  Speed Networking Event  
 

The biggest Speed Networking Event of the year in Galway will take place on
Tuesday June 15th at 6 pm to 8. 30 pm in the
Galway Bay Hotel.
On that date Galway Chamber is delighted to announce that local Communications and Motivation expert Pádraic O’Maille will facilitate Galway Chamber’s first Speed Networking Event.

 Speed Networking is exactly what it says on the tin…it’s structured face to face networking where the participants are guaranteed time with each of the other participants. Each participants time is structured to give best exposure to the other networkers. This is a new type of networking for Galway Chamber members and guests and follows on from our very successful Business After Hours networking events.

Facilitation for this type of event is key and Galway Chamber is delighted to have engaged facilitator Pádraic O’Maille. Pádraic is co-founder of ÓMáilleGroup and BizPal, two businesses that help business owners and managers build better businesses. He has worked as a salesperson, a sales manager, and a general manager prior to becoming a senior management consultant working with some of the worlds leading organisations.

 He is currently producing a series of newspaper articles titled “Conversation With Achievers” which can be viewed on his blog. See www.omaille.ie

 This event is a great opportunity to meet likeminded people, to make contacts, to arrange future meetings and to get to know new people.

If you have any queries contact Elaine Murphy on 091 563536

Fees for the event are €20 for members and €25 for non-members.
