The 2015 Retail Conference took place in Castle House on February 24th 2015. The event was a huge success, with a full day of speakers and activities. Tara Buckley from RG Data chaired the event, and introduced a range of speakers throughout the day. Strong Irish brands were well represented, with speakers from McCabes Pharmacy, Shelflife Magazine, Ryanair, the Book of Kells, Wines Direct and the Irish Exporters Association. Lidl, who partner with DBS on the Retail Management degree, was also represented with speakers from different areas of the business.
One of the highlights of the day was a panel discussion with recent DBS graduates. The graduates are now all working with leading companies, including Guinness (Diageo), Krust Bakery, Sam Dennigan (SDAC) and Category Solutions. The graduates were enthusiastic and eager to share their experiences and their thoughts on how DBS has helped them to get started in their careers. There was a lively Q&A session with the graduates, and all members of the audience really interacted with them.
The day was well documented on social media, and it is safe to say that #DBSRetail15 was a huge success!
