Last year we spoke with Don Colbert from Fáilte Ireland to learn more about the impact that coworking spaces has on tourism businesses 💬

Don’s experience of working with this industry along the Wild Atlantic Way, particular those in West Cork, highlighted that tourism businesses can benefit greatly from getting in contact with their local coworking space.

A practical workshop for SMEs on using AI effectively and securely. Hosted at Ludgate Hub and delivered by Kammil Mahajan of Advice Bytes.

Artificial intelligence is moving fast but for most SME owners, the real question isn't whether to adopt it. It's how to do it without getting it wrong.

This practical, no-jargon workshop is designed specifically for business owners and managers who want to get started with AI or who are already using it and want to make sure they're doing so safely and strategically.

What you'll take away:
• A clear framework for building your AI strategy the right way
• Practical examples of AI tools that are genuinely useful for SMEs right now
• An honest look at the cyber and data security risks and how to avoid them
• Three concrete next steps you can act on immediately

Event Details:
📅 Thursday, July 9th
⏰ 11AM-1PM
📍 Ludgate Hub, Skibbereen, Co. Cork

This event is free to attend and open to all SME owners, managers, and business leaders in the region.

Whether you’re actively looking at mortgages right now, thinking about buying in the future, planning a self-build, or just trying to better understand the whole process, this will be a really useful and approachable evening with local experts covering mortgages, legal processes, and the West Cork property market.
A great opportunity to ask questions, hear practical advice, and get a clearer understanding of the home-buying journey in Ireland.
Delighted to have Maeve Buckley, Colette Herlihy, Paula Hunter, Maeve McCarthy and Liam O’Donovan involved in the discussion.
