Female Founders: Thinking Differently Event
Inspiring Conversations and New Connections at Female Founders Event: Thinking Differently
We were delighted to host our Female Founders: Thinking Differently event this week at the Carnegie Library as part of the Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology Innovate Lab Brand workshop series.
Dr. Linda King was joined by an inspiring panel featuring Lynn Scarff (Director, National Museum of Ireland), Brunella Cocchiglia (film producer and co-founder of Lovely Productions), and Clare Brennan (co-founder of brennan & stevens Design). Their conversation offered powerful insights and sparked thoughtful discussion among attendees.
The room was filled with energy, with female founders, IADT staff, and stakeholders all contributing to a vibrant atmosphere. The exchanges on the night mark the beginning of exciting new collaborations and partnerships at IADT.
Stay tuned for details on our next Innovate Lab workshops—coming soon.
