2017 First Up: Creative entrepreneurs on breaking through

First Up: Creative entrepreneurs on breaking through
A series of lunchtime talks from the creative minds at the forefront of Irish culture, science and the arts.
The unique individuals in the First Up series believed in an idea and did everything possible to make that idea work. They invested in their own talent and creativity in order to create a career or lifestyle suited to their vision and personal aspirations.
The speakers will tell their own stories from the beginning, how they developed their ideas and will share their plans for the future.
Here's a rundown of who you'll be hearing from and where (SGD = Science Gallery Dublin, and TLRH = Trinity Long Room Hub), and links to book.
