O2 Women Mean Business Conference & Awards 2008

Last year, WMB held the inaugural O2 WMB Conference & Awards to a sell out audience at Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel. This year, we are putting the finishing touches to our line up and it’s one date that is an ‘absolute must’ for your BlackBerry Pearls — now available in pink ladies!

It is generally accepted that time is now one of our scarcest commodities. Do we work to live or live to work — sometimes it’s hard to decipher. So when you take four major companies — O2, Accenture, Irish Life and the County & City Enterprise Boards; and add a passionate title like WMB to the mix, you can be sure that the end result will be worth your investment.

Rosemary Delaney is publisher of WMB and highlights that: “We live in a world that demands the very best from us if we want to succeed — if we want to stand out from the crowd and be recognised. Success however, means different things to different people — we don’t all want to be chiefs but with hard work and vision we want to ‘believe’ that we can achieve what we desire. This event gives attendees the inspiration and motivation, which is sometimes needed to reach our goals. It also gives our readers, their mentors and peers, the opportunity to nominate or self-nominate for one of a number of important awards.”

Title sponsor for the event is O2 Ireland who also sponsors O2 WMBusinesswoman of the Year Award 2008. Danuta Gray, Chief Executive, O2 Ireland was warmly received at last year’s inaugural event and reaffirms: “O2 Ireland is delighted to be associated with WMB for a second year. The inaugural awards in 2007 were a great success and each of the winners should rightly feel proud of their achievements. To reach the top in any business takes not only effort and determination but also real passion. In areas as diverse as science, technology, tourism, business services and manufacturing, Irish businesses are benefiting from the fresh ideas, dedication, and leadership that women can bring. In recognising their achievements, these awards are encouraging even more women to succeed in their chosen field”.
