International Women's Day on March 8 will be celebrated in comfort at the Conrad Dublin hotel, with a €150 a head event featuring five-course tasting menu created by Anna Haugh, with a wine pairing for each dish.
Before the gourmet experience, the hotel is hosting a FREE event, Embracing Equity - Women in Hospitality & Leadership, moderated by Sunday Times journalist Jo Linehan.
A panel of some of Ireland's top women in hospitality, philanthropy, food and beverage will relate their experience of growing a career in their respective industries.
Anna Haugh, owner and chef of Myrtle and executive chef of Anna Haugh at Conrad Dublin, will provide insight into her career, while Victoria Baird, managing director of Stillgarden Distillery, will be on hand to share her experience of developing a niche gin distillery.
Imparting wisdom on the culinary arts will be Annette Sweeney, senior lecturer at TU Dublin, while head of employment at Down Syndrome Ireland, Aoife Gaffney, will provide insight into the importance of workplace inclusion and overcoming barriers to employment.
Following the discussion, attendees can participate in a networking event with canapes and beverages.
Registration for the discussion and networking is available here.
The separate wine and dinner that evening is in Anna Haugh’s resident restaurant at the hotel.
Attendees can expect a five-course tasting menu created by Haugh, with a wine pairing for each dish. The menu theme is a celebration of the best Irish produce and suppliers.
