Tickets are now on sale for MII Cork’s March 7th event, Marketing: The Next Generation at Republic of Work, Cork, which they will host in partnership with MTU Cork.
The event, which is open to members and non-members, will be a panel discussion and will discuss future trends for marketers, with the next generation themselves. It will look at what marketers need to know now, current and future trends, how to manage the current landscape, and what they need to prepare for the future of the industry.
The topic and format of the event was one of many submitted by students as part of their Event Management and Promotion module, and it was the “Marketing: The Next Generation” event concept that was the proposal chosen to be developed into an event, managed, and led by the winning students themselves.
The event will give the winning students the chance to get real life insight into putting an event together, working with the MII Cork Committee who regularly deliver networking events for the marketing community of Cork. The five students whose proposal was chosen will play a hands-on role to deliver the event, from PR in the lead up, working with suppliers and sponsors, and managing the event on the evening.
The evening will begin with a live cocktail demonstration from networking event partner Kinsale Gin, nibbles and networking in the Grow Room before the main event in the Media Suite.
Mediated by Eoin Kennedy, Update Digital Marketing and Inside Digital Consulting, the panel will feature Darina Connolly, Head of Label Partnerships at TikTok, Jen Bryan, Co-founder and CMO at Velocity Growth and Thoughtleadership.ai and Shauna Doyle, Content Creator.

Speaking about the event, Chair of MII Cork, Jerry Crowley said:
“We are delighted to be working with MTU’s marketing students for our March 7th event, Marketing: The Next Generation. Marketing is a living, evolving industry and today’s junior marketers are tomorrow’s CMOs and have a lot to offer at all stages of their career.
We are delighted to be able to give them first hand insight into what goes on behind the scenes to bring an event to life.”
Anna Horan, Marketing and International Business Lecturer, Munster Technical University continued:
“We are grateful to be able to give our students the experience of creating, promoting and managing an MII Cork event. We can teach students about bringing an event to life, but there is nothing like the real thing.
The students have been brilliant – from the amazing concept, to helping choose and select the speakers and topics, to always being ready to put their hands up and learn on the job. It has been great to have the MII Cork Committee, who collectively have a wealth of experience, to call on, and mentor the students along the way”
Marketing: The Next Generation takes place on Tuesday March 7th at Republic of Work, 12 Sth Mall. Tickets are available from MII.ie
