The Irish International Business Network www.iibn.com that a group of Irish friends founded in 2007 has come a long way from the days of begging for a venue with a few nuts and crisps to take the edge off the evening. A group of some 5000+ people now spread from London where we started to New York, Dublin and Belfast is really starting to drive business. Broad-based  constituencies from banking, finance, property, construction, media, technology and retail make up a fresh diverse mix of influential players. A range of people from start-up entrepreneurs to names with several successful exits under their belts, established Chairmen and CEOs from well-known corporate names to younger up and comers just starting along the corporate career path. What unites them all is their Irish roots some first, second or third generations from the island of Ireland  both north and south. Without direct marketing and through word of mouth the outstanding reputation of how welcoming IIBN can be has spread.  How the keynote events at our diverse sponsors offices will last long in members memories for their open stance and access to decision makers, this buzz is what drives our membership. Speakers and panels made up of names from fashion, publishing, airlines, telecommunications, catering, property, finance and energy have all given their time for free to engage with IIBN. There is no better time for IIBN to make sure that the Irish entrepreneur or business person gets a crack at the deal and helps shape all Ireland’s economic recovery.
