UCC Commerce Society presents its 27th Annual Business Conference 2009

2009 heralds a year of economic uncertainty. Will it be the new frontier for the Irish economy that we all hope for? This is the issue that the 27th Annual UCC Commerce Conference hopes to address at the conference titled “2009, Turning Change into Opportunity; Our Next Steps.”
