The Swell Summit is a free day-long event for the web, creative and start-up communities in the North West taking place on Saturday, 31 January, in Sligo Airport.
With a blend of keynote speakers, workshops and informal ‘notworking’ activities, the Swell Summit is designed to spark collaboration and inspire individuals to execute their ideas.
Speakers include illustrator Annie West, adventure photographer Christian McLeod, founding editor of surf forecast website Magic Seaweed, Ed Temperley and digital marketing expert Damien Mulley.
Shona Heffernan of Sligo LEADER Partnership said ‘Come hear the stories behind Ireland’s leading game-changers and entrepreneurs. Sligo LEADER Partnership is delighted to fund Swell Sligo to enable the creative, web and start-up communities in Sligo to collaborate and learn from each other.’
Organiser of Swell Sligo, Aoife Porter of Bua Marketing said ‘Every night of the week there is a networking event in Dublin; we set-up Swell Sligo to offer people in the North West something interesting to go to without having to travel. We have an array of great speakers offering real-world insight into the mechanics of creativity, web and enterprise.’
Swell Sligo is funded by Sligo LEADER Partnership under the LEADER Rural Development Programme.
