The IPBN is gearing up for the upcoming Dublin Innovation Conference at the Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) on Tuesday, June 17 from 9h to 13h. We invite you to join us to learn how AI can transform your business while taking away valuable insights and essential information, contacts, and expert tips. The conference will feature keynote speakers and panelists from different sectors to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

After initial registration and a welcome coffee, Geoffrey Graham, Chair of the IPBN Board  & Niamh Collins, GEC Director, will share words of welcome with attendees. 

After keynote statements from IPBN Executive Partner Martin Duffy and IPBN member Lee Bristow, the conference’s first panel discussion will take place. It will focus on new EU regulations in AI legislation as a framework for SMEs to discover tools to help them remain compliant. This panel will feature Agatha Bulha, Stephanie Prenderville, and moderator Lee Bristow. 

Agatha Bulha is a lawyer at José Bulha International Law Office from Faro, a representative to the Council of Europe, and a member of the European Young Bar Association. As a business-minded professional, Agatha has always believed in the power of creativity and connection. Her passion and strong entrepreneurial spirit led her to explore the startup world and ultimately focus on intellectual property, where innovation is born and protected. 

Stephanie Prenderville, the Founder of SP Consulting and new IPBN member, helps develop strategy and transformation toolkits for companies to succeed, thanks to her over 20 years of experience leading small and large-scale change and people programs through in-house consultancy and advisory roles in various organisations. Her energy and deep strategic understanding of how to build common visions and problem solve have helped organisations and leaders make measurable improvements to productivity, engagement, employee experience, and cost savings. Stephanie is sharing her talent as an introduction to the panel discussion at the conference in a Masterclass, entitled "Is AI a Strategic Imperative – and If So, Why Now?" on June 6, for which you can still register.

Finally, moderator and IPBN member Lee Bristow, Human AI Alliance Author, advocates safe, ethical, and transparent AI in his work as a Tech Entrepreneur and Risk & Compliance Innovator. As a self-proclaimed serial founder, Lee drives innovation in RiskTech, AI, and Automation solutions. With expertise in business strategy, product development, information security, and beyond, he is passionate about simplifying risk through the Human AI Alliance. Lee has already shared intelligence on this topic and more with the network at a recent IPBN Masterclass.
