For 25 years, Waterford Chamber Skillnet has been empowering people, developing talent and helping businesses thrive. Now, it’s time to celebrate the people, partnerships and progress that have shaped that journey and to look ahead to the skills that will define our future.

Join us for a special event celebrating a quarter-century of investing in talent and supporting business growth through learning, development and innovation.

The event will bring together business leaders, industry experts and members of the local business community for an engaging panel discussion exploring the evolving skills landscape, the importance of investing in talent and the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of work.

We are also delighted to welcome Dr. Lollie Mancey, internationally acclaimed anthropologist, futurist and innovation advocate, as our guest speaker. Known for her thought-provoking insights into artificial intelligence, human culture and the future of work, Dr. Mancey challenges audiences to rethink how we lead, learn and innovate in a rapidly changing world. A dynamic storyteller and sought-after international speaker, she brings a fresh, human-centred perspective to the relationship between people, technology and progress.

As we mark this significant milestone, this event is not just a celebration of how far we’ve come, but an opportunity to spark conversations about where we go next.  Because while the world of work continues to change, one thing remains constant: people are at the heart of every successful business.

Join us as we celebrate 25 years of skills, connections and opportunities, and the power of people to shape the future.
