Feel Good Friday returns to Cork City Friday 29 June and we would love for you to be a part of it. We are calling on the businesses in Cork to create an in-store experience outside of the ordinary for their customers. 

The European Commission has released an online test tool and questionnaire, aimed at exporters, that has been designed to give information to operators and to help address their needs in relation to Rules of Origin. This will give you access to the anonymous questionnaire and the test version of the online tool. It will take approx. 10-15 minutes to complete the form. 

All participants will be able to develop and implement a digital marketing strategy and have the tools and skills required to make it a success.

• Day One: Digital Marketing Strategy and Online Advertising
• Day Two: SEO & Making Your Website Work
• Day Three: Social Media (Facebook, Twitter & Instagram)

We are delighted to announce that the Cork Digital Marketing Awards will be launching 22 June "so chalk it down." The theme this year is "All things Cork". All updates will be issued with #DigitalCork18 across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Creative and visually beautiful cities attract visitors from around the globe and Cork is no different. But, promoting and selling Cork to a global audience is the result of hard work behind the scenes by champions and ambassadors from both the public and private sectors.  Pockets of passionate and civic minded volunteers do their bit to both clean up and show off our best features.

Join us at this event to understand how the arts, business & cultural communities can work to make Cork top of everyone’s destination list.

This July we’ll be rolling out the bunting and letting down our hair for our brand new Summer Garden Party! We will have chilled cocktails, smooth Summer sounds, fabulous fusion food, brewskis on ice and selfie fun, we just need some Summer vibes and you!

Cork Chamber is delighted to welcome the launch of the new Cork Container Terminal development by Port of Cork at Ringaskiddy,  Bill O’Connell, President of Cork Chamber, commenting at the launch, ‘This is a hugely positive development for Cork. With the development of trade capacity, we not only secure economic growth for the future of Cork, we are also developing strategic infrastructure, furthering the capacity of the Cork region from a national and international perspective. 

2018 is indeed a time of opportunity and excitement for Cork. Ireland 2040 provides a resounding endorsement of Cork as Ireland’s second city, the fastest growing city region over the next 20 years and the fulcrum of the entire southern region. One need only look to the steady level of development and planning applications as a measure.
