Speakers at the Conference
We are delighted to have many leading Irish and overseas speakers agree to participate in this year's conference. A number of our speakers have been with us before, in 2006 and 2007, and we are again very grateful to them for their continued contribution to our conference. They are joined by a number of people new to our event, including Michael Fabrizio and Gary Pace from America, and Simon Wallace from the UK. We hope that they will enjoy the occasion as much as their colleagues.
