The Kerry Business Summit will be held on November 29th, 2011 at the Brehon Hotel in Killarney. Susan Hayes, known as "The Positive Economist" will give a keynote speech about the value of Irish indigenous businesses. The event aims to motivate participants to achieve more in 2012 and beyond by highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit still thriving in Ireland as seen by the formation of three new enterprises for every one that closes. A third of the proceeds from the event will be donated to St Vincent de Paul to support the local community.
