A Forum for the Commercial/Business Community of Kilkenny City.
Venue : The Rivercourt Hotel, Kilkenny.
We wish to attract business, industry and commercial activity to locate in Kilkenny, while simultaneously encouraging locally based businesses to survive, grow and thrive. The Kilkenny Business Forum is designed to discuss and realise some new opportunities for Kilkenny.
The main purpose of the Forum was to provide an opportunity for the business and commercial fraternity of the greater Kilkenny City area to gather and hear the thoughts and views of a number of successful, locally based, entrepreneurs as well as some others who are in a position to influence the economic growth of Kilkenny City. The ideas and thoughts of those who are involved at the forefront of business,
