Wednesday, March 15 - Thursday March 16, 2017

The Metropolitan Club, New York City

Book Online for the March 2017 Conference on Ireland-U.S. Economic Relations

Ireland’s Business Model – What Does the Future hold?

This gathering is well-timed and will enable thoughtful consideration of so many important issues facing businesses engaged in transatlantic commercial connections linking the United States and Ireland.

“What will the impact be of Brexit on Ireland-U.S. economic relations?”

“What are the future conditions likely to be for businesses considering greenfield investments, corporate takeovers, inversions, intellectual property or other asset transfers?”

These questions will provide plenty of substance to be discussed, weighed and reviewed during this landmark March Business Summit.
