Business Promotion
Seminars
Sandyford Business District hosts a number of seminars and forums throughout the year. These are complimentary and open to all businesses in the district. We bring together business leaders to discuss key issues in the current business climate and bring clarity and understanding through the conveyance of shared perspectives. These events present a valuable opportunity to hear keynote speakers, learn from panel discussions and network with key stakeholders.
Networking Events
In addition to the above, Sandyford Business District also hosts a number of networking events throughout the year. These events are a great opportunity for professionals in the district to share ideas and experiences.
Community & Wellbeing Events
Sandyford Business District hosts a number of free-to-attend social events throughout
the year, including our Summer BBQ in June, Wellness Week, including the Spirit Sandyford 5K, in September and Santa’s Arrival at the end of November. These provide a wonderful opportunity for those in the district to relax and socialise.
Our aim is to #ThinkSandyfordFirst and to encourage local businesses to do the same. Our online Business Directory includes a listing for any business operating within the Sandyford Business District. We also help to promote local businesses via our social media channels and endeavour to use suppliers from within the district wherever possible. If your business is based within the district and you would like to speak with us about promotional opportunities, please contact the district office: operations@sandyford.ie
