2018 CUBS Conference

March 8, Cork Opera House

Following on from last year’s very successful inaugural CUBS Conference, we are delighted to announce the 2018 event on Thursday March 8th. This year's event will showcase world class speakers and panellists from business, finance and technology. 

Panels will include:

  • Finance
  • Women in Leadership
  • Digital Innovation
  • Future of Social Media
  • Changing Foods for a Changing Consumer

Digital technology is having a profound effect on the 21st century workplace. It is changing the way we work, the way we manage, where we work, how we organize, and how we communicate. Fundamentally, how we work in the future will be more networked, more mobile, more team- based, more project-based, and more flexible. The test will be to ensure it is not more complex or unmanageable.

Hear our Industry speakers discuss the drivers and challenges for the workforce of the future. Major speakers are listed below and a full programme is now available here.
