The Irish Biz Party has chosen Fermanagh as the destination for its fifth national business conference, which takes place in the Killyhevlin Hotel on Wednesday 14th October.Founded by Bank of Ireland Start up Hero award winner and Tweeting Goddess, Samantha Kelly, Irish Biz Party is an online community of businesses who advise, guide and promoteeach other.Irish businesses come together every Wednesday night on Twitter, using the hashtag #IrishBizParty and through collective cross promotion and discussion, help each other toreach millions of potential customers in just 2 hours.As well as the weekly Twitter network, Irish Biz Party also have an official membership package, and a very active private Facebook Group where over 3,000 Irish businesses seekand share advice and guidance, support and promote each other.Samantha believes the success of the conferences to date is down to the organic and natural progression to meeting offline and in person. It is also a great way for newbusinesses to get involved in the Irish Biz Party community, and can really give them a strong launch pad to grow their business nationwide.Samantha Kelly says, “The decision was taken to bring the full weight of the Irish Biz Party movement to the north of Ireland. We know that business owners have the same struggles all over the country, and the north west is an area that we felt could greatly benefit from the event, the support, advice, learning and networking opportunities.“We considered a number of places to host the event, but it was down to the work of local businesswoman, Aine Bermingham, and the support of the local business community,Fermanagh Omagh District Council, and Fermanagh Enterprise, that we chose Fermanagh.There’s a thriving business community here, and we want to offer as much support as we can.“We’re very excited about bringing the conference here, and I’ve been thrilled by the response both locally and nationally. Fermanagh businesses are embracing this opportunity,and there are businesses from all over Ireland booking tickets, so there’s a fantastic buzz about it already. I’d encourage any business looking for help and support, or a chance tolearn and network with fellow business owners, to join us at the event.”Keynote Speakers on the day will come from across Ireland, the UK and even mainland Europe to share a plethora of expertise, including social media experts, business leaders and pricingexperts.Among the local Fermanagh businesses already involved or Stock Services, Monaghan Bros., and Corrigan and Co.
