Irish musician and poet Niall Breslin has an exciting performance in store at the IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year Awards – another reason you won't want to miss this special event!

Alongside the unrivalled networking opportunities, celebrated speeches and electric atmosphere, the annual IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year Awards always promise a showstopping performance – and this year is no exception.

We’re delighted to announce that Niall Breslin, aka Bressie, will perform for our biggest ever crowd at the RDS on May 15. It’s a performance that you definitely won’t want to miss, as he will also be gracing us with his moving spoken word poetry.

This year is particularly special as it’s IMAGE Media’s 50th anniversary, so you can expect plenty of excitement on the night, including extra special prizes and gift bags… but more to come on that later.

We’re taking over the RDS for a celebration that promises to be unparalleled. So be sure to get your tickets now before they sell out!
