National Women’s Enterprise Day 2026 will bring women entrepreneurs and business professionals together at the Talbot Hotel, Stillorgan, Dublin, on Thursday, 15 October 2026, from 8:30am to 2:00pm. The event marks the 20th anniversary of National Women’s Enterprise Day and will provide an opportunity to connect, learn and hear from successful women in business.
Jointly organised by the four Local Enterprise Offices in Dublin, the event will be hosted by broadcaster and entrepreneur Anna Daly, with multi-award-winning entrepreneur and skincare expert Jennifer Rock, CEO of The Skin Nerd, delivering the keynote address.
A female founders’ panel will feature Dervla Arthurs of Snugabugz, Áine Devlin of ExamRevision, Mags Moran of Mizz Rio and Sofie Rooney of Chimac. The entrepreneurs will share their experiences of building and growing businesses, as well as practical insights and advice for other women developing their own enterprises.
The panel will offer attendees an opportunity to hear directly from founders working across different sectors and at different stages of business development.
Networking will be a key part of the event, with internationally recognised trainer Danica Murphy of Prism facilitating sessions designed to encourage attendees to make new connections.
Representatives from various state support agencies will also be available throughout the event, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and find out more about the supports available to entrepreneurs and businesses.
For professionals and business owners interested in leadership, enterprise development and building stronger professional networks, the event offers a chance to gain practical knowledge while connecting with other women in business.
