3 IRISH FUNDS SPONSORSHIP Pat Lardner, Chief Executive, Irish Funds Since the establishment of the funds industry in Ireland over 25 years ago, Ireland has become an internationally recognised centre of excellence and a key player in the global funds industry. As the voice of the industry, Irish Funds works closely with our member firms, regulators and policy makers to shape the environment in Ireland and globally. Opportunities Irish Funds conferences and seminars provide significant brand exposure and networking opportunities for member and non-member sponsors. As in past years, our international events programme for 2017 promises to be far-reaching and engaging, with a focus on current and future trends and developments. Irish Funds events are promoted throughout the year in several ways: through targeted mailings using our global database of 11,000+ fund industry executives, our website which receives 25,000 page views per month, our active social media channels and through partnerships with other industry organisations. Challenges Irish Funds events provide opportunities to connect and share insights with policy makers, asset managers, distributors, technical experts and service providers. In the coming year our programme of events will focus on the challenges and impact of regulation and the dynamics which are altering the fundamental structure and composition of the international funds industry. The continuing uncertainty following the UK Brexit referendum result will also be covered in depth in addition to how developments in financial technology are affecting the industry and its future. By becoming a sponsor of Irish Funds events in 2017, you will have the opportunity to promote your firm s brand and take part in strategic networking opportunities among a unique audience of decision-makers in the international investment funds industry.
