The Irish SME Associations (ISME) has announced the return of its Roadshow series of events to towns and counties over the next three months.
In March, the ISME Roadshow team will visit Dublin city centre and Drogheda before hitting Thurles and Cork city in April, and Portlaise and Shannon in May.
The free events are open to all businesses across Ireland, and the programme includes an address by ISME CEO Neil McDonnell as well learning and development news, HR topic focus, discussions ad talks by guest speakers about key issues for SMEs.
Each event will also see a local business sharing their story and experiences in a new feature of the Roadshow, and end with a 'Pitch My Business' session, allowing business representatives to give a two-minute pitch and network with other businesspeople.
Events will last approximately two hours, including Q&A sessions. Refreshments are provided at all events and ISME invites those who register to send questions or comments and they will be used at each event.
