What is the BiG* BANG?
Connect with a local network of peers
Our BiG* events are perfect for that catch-up chat with your colleagues and friends. Bring your team, make introductions, share insights, and enjoy the show.
Learn, Unlearn, Relearn
To stay ahead in business, we all need to adapt to change. The BiG* BANG Event delivers new thoughts on existing challenges and gives you the chance to reflect on your successes and build for the future.
Share the excitement
This is one of the standout events in the West of Ireland, take pictures, post your thoughts, take your new employees. A free event that pays back in learnings and enjoyment.
BiG* stands for Based in Galway – We are Galway Executive Skillnet and we believe that while Galway is recognised as ‘the place to live in Ireland’ we need to ensure that it is ‘the place to work in Ireland’. To achieve this aim we need strong successful businesses, with strong successful teams, managers and leaders.
