It was great to bring the Cork story to the USA last week, at two important events in New Orleans and Boston. Supporting our Irish diaspora via the Irish Network USA (IN USA) conference sponsorship has helped us to forge great connections with their chapters across the USA. In New Orleans we shared our story about the growth and vibrancy of the Cork region and the positivity in the business community here. We were also delighted to support the Irish Funds breakfast event in Boston.Thanks to O'Callaghan Properties; JCD Group; Clarendon Properties; BAM; RDJ; Cork University Business School; KPMG; PWC; Deloitte; EY; Morgan McKinley for supporting Connecting Cork
