On the airy terrace of the Franco-British chamber in the 09th arrondissement, 120 members from all over the world exchanged professional and personal stories, discovered connections and made new ones and photographed badges, QR codes and even exchanged some paper business cards! It was heartwarming to chat in groups with Irish, British, American, Australian and Canadian flags represented and accents galore in both French and English.
A substantial multi-cultural group continued the evening down the road afterwards, highlighting how new friends and acquaintances can be easily made in the right setting and how business can stem from active networking. Earlier in the week the presidents of the chambers met informally at AmCham to discuss current trade challenges and member feedback, highlighting the importance of collaboration and sharing of knowledge to the betterment of all. NetworkIrlande is committed to continue to work with other business groups and chambers to ensure ongoing value-add for our members.
Look out for a repeat of this event in 2026!
