Our third Young Treasurers event was a tremendous success!

To double our attendance since the first event, have a sell-out registration and a waiting list, is a testament to the unique appeal of our Young Treasurer events.

Thanks to our fantastic speakers on the night: Alan Bluett (The Panel), Deborah Hamilton (Bank of Ireland Corporate and Markets), Enda Mahony (DCC plc), Dara Kavanagh (EY) and Aidan Conheady (Publicis Groupe).

We were delighted with the positive feedback received from our new one-day training course aimed at those who are relatively new to treasury, or those who are looking for a detailed introduction to treasury management activities, infrastructure and organization.

Guest lectures from academic, financial services and corporate treasury sector shared their expertise on various Treasury topics, including

• The role of Treasury
• Risk management strategies
• Capital raising and optimal capital structures
• Treasury systems, operations and data analytics.

Many thanks to our speakers Sean Grace (Securitas - Group Treasurer), Patrick Denny (J.P. Morgan - Head of Corporate Rates UK & Ireland, Ronan McCabe (Trinity College – Adjunct Lecturer Investments & Sustainability), and Ronan Clifford (Honeywell - Senior Director Treasury - EMEA Treasury Lead) for a lively and insightful session.

The day wrapped up with drinks and canapes allowing for plenty of conversation and networking among the participants.

Many thanks to all who attended the IACT's Annual Treasury Management Conference at the CCD, Dublin in November. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to gather together our colleagues from the international treasury community to network and share their insights.

We would like to extend a special thank you to our expert speakers and sponsors, and are very much looking forward to seeing you all again next year! More details to come soon.

After 3 years, it was great to be able to get together at the IACT - Irish Association of Corporate Treasurers Gala Dinner in the Shelbourne Hotel. Lovely to see old and new faces across members, patrons and other professional bodies. Excellent entertainment from Mario Rosenstock and our MC John Gilsenan. Looking forward to next year already.
