Grace Binchy (above), a trends and insight specialist with Bord Bia, will present the updated Cultivate Programme, a joint initiative by Bord Bia and Canvas 8. The project, developed from over 33,000 research signals, case studies and global insights, aims to explain fast-changing consumer trends. Sharon Yourell Lawlor will speak about the dynamics shaping retail, including the impact of shopper expectations and emerging technologies.

Una Herlihy will explore the significance of flexibility in the workplace. She will talk about the trends in independent working in Irish marketing and adland services, shedding light on the increasing preference for flexible, independent working arrangements.
The session will be held in Dentsu’s offices at 4.30pm on Thursday, February 22.
