The Programme

Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry will conduct 12 events, over a two-year period under the InterTradeIreland Network+Getwork Programme.

This will afford 50 companies per event the opportunity to hear, in broad outline terms, the policy and strategy for 2005/2006 of 12 individual procurement organisations.

The select 50 will have the opportunity to gain inside knowledge on the procurement company at a Pre-Event Briefing and will then have the opportunity to meet with senior procurement staff in a series of 15-minute one to one meetings on the day of the event.

The programme is aimed, primarily, at small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), seeking to raise their game in relation to the requirements and expectations of large buying companies, city administrations and multinational companies.

Network+Getwork events are open to all companies, Chamber members and non-members. The procurement organisation reserves the right to select participants based on the submission of a company profile.

Networking is a fundamental part of the this programme and at all stages of the process the Network+Getwork team will facilitate as many valuable introductions as possible.

The networking follows a structured format akin to that of ‘speed-dating’, whereby individuals from participating SMEs are encouraged to meet each other for a 2-3 minute discussion.
