Female business leadership is to the fore in this event, although the focus is more on technology, science, design and the arts, which also happens to place diversity and inclusion centre stage. The conference has a raft of interesting speakers confirmed, including Judith Williams, global head of diversity for Dropbox, and Dr Nora Khaldi, founder and chief scientific officer of Nuritas.

A handful of male speakers will also participate, including Adam Quinton, founder/CEO of Lucas Point Ventures, and Mark Curtis, founder of Fjord. The event concludes with the Inspirefest Fringe, which takes place in Merrion Square Park each evening, with theatre, music, art and chat (6.30-10pm). Standard tickets cost €395 and there are several discounted ticket options available.
