Announcing our next IMAGE Business Club networking event, where fellow members will network over cocktails and canapés and hear from our panel of experts on their successful business journeys.
How is 2025 going? What promises have you made to yourself about work and career, and how are you going to get there?
As the year unfolds, it’s time to put action to the plan, and our first IMAGE Business Club Live event is all about working life, the jobs market, promotion, enrichment and how we can put ourselves at the centre of a career strategy that will reap rewards as well as fulfilment.
Commercial, corporate and entrepreneurial environments continue to change, alongside the world we’re living in. Join us on Wednesday evening, February 12 at The Dublin Royal Convention Centre (that’s the one behind the Radisson Hotel, Golden Lane) when Marie Moynihan, senior vice president of global human resource services, Dell Technologies, will update us on what’s out there – the real working landscape – and how women can be seen, grow and excel in it. Marie is an incredibly trusted and inspiring global leader, a strong advocate for women in business with vast experience.
We’ll also be joined by business founder of Cocoa Brown and Carter Beauty, Marissa Carter; Caroline Sherry, CFO and executive director at Hostelworld Group Plc, and Lorna Conn, CEO of global talent solutions company CPL, in conversation with IMAGE contributing editor Melanie Morris, as we identify and discuss the drive, skills, resources and industry intelligence that will prove insightful for a successful career journey in 2025 and beyond.
