Only Connect Business Networking Podcast

Facilitated by Mark Herring, Urbano's Connector-In-Chief, our Urbano Engage Speaker Panel events use an interactive format to examine key themes of interest to business. For this event, we are partnering with Urbano Members, Sakura Business Solutions and its Founder/Managing Director, Damian Connolly.

With offices in London and Dublin, Sakura and Damian are ideally positioned to both understand how we can use Ireland as a spring-board to trade with the EU after January 1st. Joining Mark & Damian will be Michelle Conaghan, VP - Emerging Technologies & New Forms of Investment UK, from IDA Ireland for what we hope will include an update on any Brexit trade agreement.

Part 2: (42:00) In January, Urbano welcomed back George Clarke, architect and presenter of Channel 4's Amazing Spaces amongst many other strings to his busy bow, to come and talk to an Urbano Build audience about his passions (see photos of event hosted by Katten Muchin Rosenman here).
