SDL and the Marketing Expo

SDL Exhibitions are hosting a Marketing Expo in the RDS on the 9th/10th October this year:

IT ALL STARTS AND ENDS WITH COMMUNICATION...

Marketing Expo

 

And communication has changed utterly in the past decade. Across Europe adults spend more time online than reading newspapers and magazines and under 25s spend more time online than watching television. Marketing Expo is designed to bring those responsible for corporate and brand communications together with the providers of the technology, the techniques and means of exploiting the revolution which is upon us.

The Dublin Internet marketing Conference, to run alongside the Marketing Expo in the RDS on October 9th, is an elite conference of dynamic thinkers and companies who understand the importance of online marketing and how to teach it.

The aim of the conference is to offer objective, independent advice on how to market successfully online by outlining the successful strategies and tools a business needs to succeed online. The conference is powered by Eventznet, click here to book your place.

Training At High Attitude

A Follow-Up Event To Brad Sugars' Billionaire In Training - For Business Owners

  • Are you so closely tied up with your business that customers insist on dealing with you and you only?
  • Are you unable to take a holiday for fear your business will collapse while you're gone?
  • Have you sought the freedom of being your own boss & suiting yourself only to discover that you are your business and you're now answering to a tyrant?

In other words, is yours a business where you do the work once and get paid once?

At a sold-out Croke Park in early July, Brad Sugars' talked about "building a business where you'll do the work once and get paid forever". Here at Islandbridge Brand Direction (Billionaire In Training Event Partners), we were inspired to team up with Robert Steininger of ActionCoach to design a training camp that puts business owners through a series of basic drills to build up the business muscle and drive needed to deliver on Brad's winning strategies.

After completing your Training At High Attitude, you will:

  • Have a clear understanding of why you must put your business to work for you
  • Recognise the working parts of such a business
  • Know how a brand works to drive a business by establishing identity apart from the owner, and how to go about building your own
  • Determine the steps you must take to build a business where you do the work once and get paid forever

Tuesday, 18th September
9.30am - 1pm
The Guinness Storehouse, Dublin

€200 per deelegate (or €140 Chamber Skillnet Special Rate for private companies). We're limiting bookings to ensure that you make the most of this training - so book early to guarantee your place.
