International Women's Day 2026: Give to Gain
[vc_row row_padd=”xs-padding”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating International Women’s Day with the Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber on Thursday, 5th March 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in Dungarvan.
This year’s theme, Give To Gain, focuses on empowering women in business to take bold steps toward their goals.
Our International Women’s Day 2026 panel features three leaders whose experiences show that giving time, trust and opportunity can drive real growth.
- Maire Quilty, co-founder of TQS Integration, scaled a business from start-up to global acquisition, while also investing heavily in people and place — from sponsoring the Waterford hurling team and supporting community initiatives to mentoring individuals and helping shape career pathways.
- Gabrielle Cummins, former CEO of Beat 102–103 and now with Nemeton TV, brings deep insight into media leadership, community connection and the power of contribution.
- Emilene Stafford of Merrys GastroPub offers a compelling perspective on inclusive, values-led business, demonstrating how community-focused initiatives can strengthen both enterprise and society.
Together, they will explore Give to Gain as a practical mindset — investing in people, backing ideas and building connections that create lasting impact for business and place.
Attendees can expect engaging discussion, meaningful networking and clear takeaways to support their next steps. An uplifting, high-energy evening that informs, connects and inspires.
