Irish Social Enterprise Conference Logo_0The DCU Ryan Academy’s Menter Iontach Nua initiative in partnership with the Irish Social Enterprise Network have launched the Irish Social Enterprise Conference ‘Building on International Experience’ on the 10th February 2014.

Delegates are invited to the conference to learn from abroad and discuss how Ireland can further develop the social enterprise sector.

Recognising the successes of the Scottish Social Enterprise Network and the UK’s Community Interest Companies, we have invited Fraser Kelly and Sara Burgess, along with others, to discuss the social enterprise landscape. In bringing together stakeholders to discuss the issues facing the Irish social enterprise sector we hope to create a discussion around the future of the social enterprise in Ireland. This is an opportunity to work towards building a vibrant sector in Ireland, while reflecting on experiences from abroad.

Speakers include Fraser Kelly, CEO of Social Enterprise Scotland; Sara Burgess, UK Regulator of Community Interest Companies and Chris Gordon, Chair of the Irish Social Enterprise Network among others.
