Inspirefest NY & LEAP Launch in Time Square.

Spring 2017 – After sell-out Munich, Paris and London gatherings, Inspirefest came to New York and partnered with the Irish International Business Network to introduce the US to Europe’s leading sci-tech event. Science, tech, arts, and business professionals gathered at White & Williams in Times Square to listen to innovators in Augmented Intelligence, Data Science and STEM.

To kick off the night, IIBN celebrated the women who participated in the first Leadership & Executive Acceleration Program (LEAP)™ In a discussion moderated by Maura Kelly, we heard from LEAP co-founder, Susan O’Brien who shared key findings from the pilot program. We met participants (LEAPers) who talked about their experiences, and the social impact their LEAP projects had on the community.

Inspirefest 2017 New York Salon’s guest speakers included: Ann O’Dea, award-winning Inspirefest founder, Kelly Hoey, entrepreneur, investor and author of Build Your Dream Network, Domhnaill Hernon, Head of Innovation Incubation and Site Lead for Research Impact at Nokia Bell Labs, and Monica Parker, HATCH Analytics.
