“The Connections that Counts event for Breakthrough Cancer Research was one of my favourite networking events. In addition to the traditional networking, nibbles and speeches, we went on a walk throughout Cork. This allowed a much more interactive, natural way to network. I was able to walk and chat with several different people/ small groups and because we were walking together, the conversation flowed. It was a fantastic way to learn more about Breakthrough Cancer Research and other Cork businesses.”
