Event Details
Date: April 23rd, 2026
Time: 11.30 am - 2.00 pm
Location: Lyrath Estate Hotel, Kilkenny
Format: Structured networking lunch
Audience:Â Business owners
This is a facilitated lunch designed to help you make meaningful business connections with people from across the South East of Ireland, alongside visitors from USA, UK, and Europe.
You will be joining a room of:
-
business owners
-
consultants
-
professional service providers
-
entrepreneurs
-
regional leaders
-
visiting international delegates
The goal is simple:
help you leave with 8–10 meaningful business connections that can lead to future opportunities, collaborations and referrals.
Why attend?
Most networking events leave people with a handful of vague conversations and a stack of business cards.
This lunch is designed differently.
You’ll benefit from:
- structured introductions
- facilitated conversations
- a high-quality business room
- access to both local and international attendees
- stronger opportunities for referrals, collaboration and future business development
This is part of a wider international event co-hosted by Kelly Jahner Byrne, a Certified Speaking Professional, a designation held by fewer than 3% of speakers worldwide.
Kelly is a multi-award-winning entrepreneur who works internationally on sales growth, leadership and relationship-based business development. She regularly hosts and facilitates structured networking experiences that help people move beyond surface-level introductions and into real commercial conversations.Â
That experience helps shape the quality of this event.
 Â
Places are limited, and advance booking is recommended.
Who this is for
This lunch is open to a wider business audience and is ideal for:
-
business owners
-
consultants
-
coaches
-
professional service providers
-
entrepreneurs
-
Chamber of Commerce, Local Enterprise Office and Network Ireland members
-
anyone who values quality business networking
Why this lunch is different
This lunch sits within the wider Sales, Marketing & Mindset 2026 international event, which brings a delegation of consultants, founders, speakers and business owners to Kilkenny that week.
That creates a rare opportunity to meet:
-
regional business leaders
-
South East entrepreneurs
-
visiting international delegates
-
potential collaborators, referral partners and clients
It also gives you access to a room shaped by intentional facilitation, not chance introductions.
