Speaking ahead of the inaugural Tech Nomads, Tracey Carney, CEO at Dublin Tech Summit and Catalyst Media, said:
“We are excited to launch Tech Nomads and we see this event as a sign of Ireland’s strength in tech, not only in Dublin but across the country. Throughout Ireland, there are employers that can provide exciting new roles for tech industry professionals who may have been affected by recent layoffs, whilst also offering a rewarding tech/life balance. We look forward to welcoming the industry to the event on February 22nd.”
Commenting on the partnership with Tech Tribes, Karen Cohalan, Fintech, Financial & Business Services, Enterprise Ireland, added:
“Enterprise Ireland is delighted to partner with Tech Tribes on the inaugural Tech Nomads event. The Irish enterprise sector remains stable with a strong and diversified base, particularly within Enterprise Ireland’s technology and services portfolio, where we continue to see a high demand for talent and skills.”
“The event comes just at a time as the global tech industry is contracting and consolidating resources. It therefore provides an opportunity for innovative Irish companies, ranging from SMEs to businesses of scale from right across the country, to showcase their technology, personnel and work–life benefits to a considerable pool of invaluable tech talent.”
“We look forward to working with the team and our tech client companies in what promises to be a fruitful one-day event for both the companies recruiting and for skilled individuals on the hunt for new opportunities,” she added.
