This year’s International Women’s Day event hosted by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown (DLR) County Chamber was a remarkable celebration of resilience, leadership, and achievement. On March 7th, we gathered at the beautiful Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel to bring together an inspiring group of women from our vibrant business community. Together, we raised an incredible €4,000 for Breast Cancer Ireland.

A Day of Inspiration and Connection

he event was truly a reflection of the power of women supporting women. We were honoured to welcome Dr. Lollie Mancey, an internationally acclaimed anthropologist, futurist, and cultural strategist, as our keynote speaker. Dr. Mancey captivated the audience with her insights on how emerging technologies are shaping human culture and the future of innovation.

Thank You to Our Partners and Supporters

We are grateful to our amazing event partners for making this day possible: Local Enterprise Office DLR, EirGrid Group, RBK Chartered Accountants, and Frascati Centre. Their continued support and collaboration helped bring this celebration to life and amplify its impact.

This year’s event was not just about celebrating women’s achievements, but also about supporting a cause close to many hearts – Breast Cancer Ireland. The generosity of our attendees helped raise €4,000, which will contribute to vital research, education, and support services for those affected by breast cancer.

A Day of Fun, Fashion, and Connection

After Dr. Mancey’s inspiring talk, the energy of the room was further uplifted by a three-course lunch and a vibrant fashion show. Attendees enjoyed a delightful showcase of fashion, camaraderie, and fun – a perfect way to round off a day of meaningful conversation and celebration.

Looking Ahead

We’re already looking forward to next year’s event, and we hope to see even more members of our community joining us to celebrate and empower women in business.

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who made the event a success, to our generous partners and sponsors, and to our inspiring speakers and attendees. Together, we continue to create a supportive environment where women can thrive and lead in business.
