Join us on social media this morning for all the latest from a packed Partners ’17, live from the Conference Centre at the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus.

It’s a full house so the only way to hear from speakers including Edel McCarthy of Electric Ireland and John Gillick from AIG, Damien O’Neill of Allianz and inspiring Blind Runner Sinead Kane as well as Rob Kearney and Thomas Barr on what sponsorship means to them as individual athletes, is to tune in on social.

Our partners for this event Livewire will deliver two insightful pieces of commentary on the sponsorship space and there will be a special premiere of a brand new piece of content from one of the brands involved.

We will have a report on what happened after the event, as well as a video wrap up on what takes place

If live is your thing though and you want to be part of the conversation join us @SportForBusiness @LivewireIRL and at #SfBPartners17.

We don’t think you will be disappointed…
