Thursday 23rd April 2009, Citywest Hotel, Saggart, Co. Dublin.

In the midst of the economic turmoil we have decided to create a conference

that will look to the future with conviction, positivity and energy rather than concentrating

on the all-consuming negatives while still addressing those issues of concern to the industry.

Frank Collins, NRF President.

To register for the Conference email director@nrf.ie

The conference is FREE OF CHARGE for staff of NRF member agencies

and ?75 euro per person for non-members.

With thanks to our primary sponsor RecruitIreland.com

and co-sponsors CXC Global Ltd, The Irish Times and Rubicon Advertising.
