The Third Irish Family Business Conference, organised by the John C. Kelleher Family Business Centre, UCC, takes place on October 19th, 2007 in Hayfield Manor Hotel.
Speakers include Andrew Keyt Director of Loyola University Chicago's Family Business Centre who will speak on lessons learned from successful family businesses in the United States, and Liam Nagle and Robert Meier who will speak about Bosch and Sisk's experience as two family-owned businesses building a strategic partnership. Also speaking at the conference will be Dr Maureen Gaffney who will discuss emotional intelligence and family business leadership.
Due to the generous sponsorship of Ulster Bank, this year's conference will build on the success of the two previous events by offering a full day event including workshops on issues of interest to family businesses. This will enable participants to draw on the knowledge and experience of experts including Pat McArdle of Ulster Bank, Terry Prone of Carr Communications, Garvan Corkery of Ronan Daly Jermyn, Philip MacKeown of Musgrave Group and Orna Stokes of Ulster Bank.
"Family businesses are central to Ireland's economy and I am very proud of the fact that UCC is the only university in Ireland with a family business research centre and the only third level institution to offer family business education to its Commerce students" says Dr Joan Buckley, Director of the John C. Kelleher Family Business Centre.
"The conference will offer family business members the opportunity to learn from experts in the family business area. In addition, it will allow the opportunity for participants to share and explore their experiences in family business in a secure setting. I am very pleased that we can offer such a full programme this year, and most grateful to Ulster Bank for their partnership."
