On Monday, May 20th Paralympics Ireland in partnership with Sport for Business will host a very special morning event to mark 100 days to the Paralympic Games but also to explore the ways in which sport can accelerate the advance of inclusion in all of our workplaces.
We have a great line up of contributors on the morning including Stephen McNamara the CEO of Paralympics Ireland, special research on inclusion from Hays Ireland, Phil Greene of PTSB, Mark Brennan of Allianz and Anne Kiely of Aer Lingus on a business panel and Neasa Russell, Chef de Mission for the Games and Hayley Burke, Para Swimming High Performance Coach on a Sports Panel.
There will be an inspiring fireside chat with Paralympian Peter Ryan and a special experiential taster of one of the Paralympic Sports that will be lighting up the Games as well.
The event will take place on Monday Morning at the Hyatt Centric Hotel in Dublin’s Liberties.
It is an invitation event for Sport for Business members and there will be a great room of peers for whom inclusion is very much toward the top of the agenda.
