How to do better business online in this tough economic climate is the theme for the Irish Internet Association’s (IIA’s) annual congress, scheduled for 21-22 May in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dublin.

Money, marketing, monitoring and mobile are among the subjects that will be analysed by high-profile international and local speakers at the congress, an important event in the internet calendar for decision-makers and industry professionals.

This year the congress format is being changed following feedback from attendees and IIA members. The congress incorporates the IIA’s annual Net Visionary Awards on Thursday 21 May, to make it more convenient and cost-effective for attendees who want to attend both events.

“The majority of requests were for an expanded conference with more chances to engage in group and one-to-one sessions with key industry experts. This is exactly what we are doing this year,” explains IIA Chief Executive Fergal O’Byrne.

Much of the programme for the second day will be taken up by networking and one-to-one clinics, as they were completely over-subscribed last year. “
