Networking in Galway

July 21, 2026

By team WICI

On Wednesday 15th July, we were back in Galway for our WICI networking event – officially our biggest event to date!
 
A huge thank you to our sponsors,
Glanua and Cogent Associates Ireland, for not only sponsoring the event but also getting involved in the lead-up and helping on the day. Your support made such a difference.
 
We're also incredibly grateful to our fantastic speakers,
Akopo Africa and Anne Marie Lynch, who shared their journeys and experiences with such honesty. Their stories were inspiring, and I know so many people in the room left feeling encouraged and motivated.
 
It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, and it really highlighted the amazing community we're continuing to build. And to everyone who joined us for the first time, welcome! We hope you enjoyed the morning and can't wait to see you again.
 
Our next networking event will take place in Dublin on 11th November. Members can book their tickets now, and any remaining tickets will be released to non-members closer to the event.
 
Thank you again, Galway, for such a brilliant morning. We can't wait to be back!
