Photos from our Cork networking event (18th October)

Hosted by Logitech Ireland, our members were given an exclusive tour of their incredible facilities, including their cutting-edge meeting rooms and their global testing and development area. While new products were kept securely under wraps (we tried to sneak a peek!), it was an eye-opening experience to see how Logitech continues to innovate. The day was packed with energy, thanks to some amazing presentations and discussions.
Special shout-out to the incredible speakers who made the day truly memorable:

- Luke C, Grainne Biddlecombe, and Mike Barry from Logitech, who gave us deep insights into Logitech’s future in the AV space.
- Kevin Hill and Nick White from X2O Media , who shared valuable knowledge about cutting-edge communication solutions.
- Sam (Samantha) Phenix, representing the AVIXA Women’s Council Ireland, who inspired us all with her talk on the importance of diversity and inclusion in the AV industry.

After the day’s events, including AV Swag from our sponsors and AV Magazine's for all our attendees, we headed to the Franciscan Well Bar and Brewery for a relaxed evening of craft beers, pizza, and some great conversations with fellow AV enthusiasts. It was the perfect way to wrap up such a successful day! Our thanks to X2O Media for their continued support and sponsorship to our growing network.
