Our events put you in the room with the people shaping business in Fingal: government ministers, agency chief executives, subject matter experts and several hundred other member businesses.
The programme runs in two parts. Four series run through the year, and a handful of signature events anchor the calendar.
The four series
Each series answers a different question, so you can pick the ones that fit what you are dealing with.
1. Business Briefings
Updates from the organisations whose decisions affect how you operate, from utilities and transport to state agencies and regulators. You leave knowing what is changing and when. Come here when you need to plan around something.
2. Local Business Meetings
Sessions rooted in a particular part of the county, from Balbriggan to Blanchardstown, dealing with what is happening on the ground where you trade. Smaller, more participatory, and close enough to get to. Come here when the issue is local.
3. B2B Networking
Networking in whatever format suits you, from business tours and speed networking to online meetups and casual coffee and chats. Some are structured, some are conversational, and all are built for meeting people properly rather than collecting cards. Come here to grow your network. More detail on the Networking page.
4. Political Leaders Forums
Direct engagement with ministers and public representatives, with room to put your question rather than just hear the answer to someone else's. Come here when you want an answer from someone accountable.
Signature events
Four fixtures that anchor the year. These are larger, and several are open to non-members.
Fingal Business Awards
The Awards honour and reward success across the Fingal business community, with winners announced at a black-tie Gala Awards Presentation Evening each November. It is the largest gathering of Fingal business in the calendar.
Fingal Business Expo
A day for members to exhibit, meet each other's businesses and see what is being built across the county. Worth attending whether you take a stand or not.
Meet The Buyer
Procurement-focused, and the one with the clearest commercial return. You get in front of buyers actively looking for suppliers, in a format built for that conversation rather than for general networking.
If your business sells to other businesses or into the public sector, this is the event to put in the diary first.
Social events
Not everything is a briefing. The annual Chamber Golf Classic and the Summer and Christmas Mix-and-Mingles are where a good deal of the actual relationship building happens.
