Welcome to the 9th of our LagunCara Business Lunches where we bring together local and international professionals, to meet each other and explore win-win synergies. The objective of these sessions is to help the members get things done through trust-based relationships.

Places will be limited so reserve asap.

Keynote speech (15-20 min): “The consequences of Brexit for Ireland"

Speaker: Dr. Rocco Caira, Abogado, Cónsul Honorario de Irlanda

Timing: We will meet at 14:25 and start eating at 14:40. Please use the 15-20 minutes to make introductions. Starters and the main course will be had in a private section of the restaurant.

Format change: Starters standing to help people move around the room better. This will help networking. The presentation will be given while desserts are being served.

Menu: Closed executive lunch with Crianza wine (22 euro). We will have our own dining room. If there are any allergies or special requirements please let me know at least a week in advance.

To keep up to date on any and all changes to do with this and future events please join the Linkedin group.

Please bring your business cards.

See you on the 8th!

FAQs

Do I have to speak English?

No. English is the default language but feel free to speak in whatever language you feel most comfortable. There are also non-locals who like to practice their Basque!

Do I have to introduce myself?

Yes, but you can do this in the language you feel most comfortable in. Make the most of the 20 minutes at the start to introduce yourself to others; just explain who you are, why you are at the event and anything you feel relevant. If you have any proposals to make or anything tangible you would like to share this is a great time to do it as you have everyone’s attention but be as brief as possible,

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The venue is in the center of Bilbao so transport options are numerous. There is NO hotel parking. If you are coming from Donosti please use the Linkedin Group to try to establish a carpool system.

Can I invite other people

Yes, please do, but remember that trust is a key factor so invite people that you genuinely trust.

Dress code?

Whatever you are comfortable with, most come business casual.
