What is Network Jam?
Network Jam is a free opportunity for any business wishing to:
- Explore the opportunity of cross-border trading
- Connect with other businesses wishing to trade across county/country boundaries
- Share and learn with other businesses involved in cross-border trading
- Hear tips and tricks from businesses already engaged in cross-border trading
Network Jam takes place on Saturday 6th March 2010, in the CoLab, Letterkenny. And it will prove to be a refreshing approach to networking with other small to medium sized businesses on both sides of the border.
Network Jam is organised by the ‘Business IN Action Network’; a new cross-border ‘user generated’ networking group.
At Network Jam there will be a range of talks from entrepreneurs and professionals who are successfully engaged in cross-border business from both the service and commercial sector.
These are all small to medium sized business people ready to share their knowledge about how they have grown their business by working with their neighbour county in the North or vice versa.
If you do business in Co Donegal, Co Derry or Co Tyrone and you have a story to share we look forward to hearing from you at the event.
We will be joined by members of the highly successful ‘user generated’ Dundalk/Newry Business Club and you will have the opportunity to hear more of how they have created a successful network of "People Doing Business with People".
How much will it cost?
It’s free! There is no charge to attend and lunch will be supplied courtesy of “…”.
How many businesses are attending?
We are aiming to have over 50 businesses attending but would love to have closer to 100
Who will talk?

Why Letterkenny?
Letterkenny is within easy access of the City of Derry, neighbouring towns of Omagh, Strabane as well as being the leading business hub in Co Donegal. Therefore we hope and expect that this conference will have a strong representation both sides of the border. Also the timing and theme of the conference fits with the raised awareness of ‘business development’ through Enterprise Week in Donegal.
How will I benefit from attending?
Hopefully you are in business to stay in business and with today’s challenging economic climate we need to ‘open our horizons to the opportunities on our door step’. There will be something for everyone interested in ‘extending business markets’ for the small to medium sized business person. It is also a great way to meet people you would not normally meet and share similar experiences and challenges and leave with new ideas and learning and most importantly new contacts.
OK I’m in…
Excellent! See you there
