CPA Ireland Skillnet Nexus 2018

On Wednesday 28th November, we held the third year of CPA Ireland Nexus, the forum for members in practice networking evening at CPA Ireland headquarters. We had a lovely evening with our panel sessions exploring a broad mix of themes that are topical to members in practice today.
 
We opened the session with a technology update from lawyer Brian Johnston of the law firm Mason Hayes Curran, followed by CPA practitioner Brendan Brady of Brady and Associates speaking on Artificial Intelligence in accounting and where the accountant of the future is heading. There were many views shared and exchanged on the opportunities and threats raised by the use of innovation and technology in practice.

Following a networking break for coffee and cake, we also got insights from Marketing expert Mary Cloonan of Marketing Clever who discussed how to build a niche sector for practices and finally we heard from fitness coach and trainer, Amy Holmes of Fitness Aims who wrapped up proceedings up with useful and practical strategies for incorporating exercise into the life of a busy accountant. This event was funded by CPA Ireland Skillnet.
