Join us for the launch of Professor Maura McAdam's new book, a call-to-action playbook for women entrepreneurs.
About this Event

Join us to celebrate the launch of Professor Maura McAdam's new book, Permission Granted. Professor of Management and Director of Entrepreneurship at Dublin City University, Maura is also ranked in the top 2% of scientists in the world.

The book, which launches on 17th March, distils decades of evidence-based insights into eight powerful calls-to-action, each designed to help women start, build, and grow thriving businesses.

We'll start with some networking over a Nespresso coffee, before John Ferris will host a Q&A discussion with Professor Maura McAdam discussing the three key areas of the book – Permission to Start, Permission to Build, and Permission to Grow.

We'll also be joined by female founders who are disrupters in their own businesses for a panel discussion.

Olga McAteer, Managing Director, McAteer Solutions; Louise Doyle, CEO, Needi and Haileigh Lamont, Director of Renegade Advocacy.

We'll end the session with a 'Grab the Mic' session, hosted by Louise Kennan Clarke, founder of Succeed With Confidence.

For anyone who'd like to stay on and network more or to work from our co-working space, there's tickets available to hotdesk for free for the day.
