Summit Focus have been our conference partner for our last two national conferences. Summit Focus active partnership from initial concept, and theme to sourcing venue, speakers, sponsors right through to  event management on the day, has been a key contributor to the success and growth of the Conference.

Maeve O’Connell, President / MBA Association of Ireland /

Marie is very enthusiastic about getting people on board for her events, from speakers to participants to sponsors. This makes me always confident that her projects will be a success, apart from making it enjoyable to work with her.

Pat Lardner, CEO / Irish Funds Industry Association /

We were delighted with the success of our 2013 MBAAI national conference.  The Summit Focus team pulled together many of the speakers and sponsorship support to develop the relevant programme content and their strategy to create an alliance with other Associations such as the Corporate Governance Association of Ireland (CGAI) worked well to further support programme content.  But of course, it was the extensive marketing arm of their organisation that significantly augmented our attendee levels.

Robert Cooper, President / MBA Association of Ireland /

Having worked with Summit Focus on a number of occasions, we have always been impressed by the service and attention to detail. They have been hugely beneficial in helping to ensure that our events are widely publicised and promoted which encourages greater participation.

Jerry Moriarty, Chief Executive Officer / Irish Association of Pension Funds /

We engaged Summit Focus to assist us to deliver this inaugural event and their expertise and professionalism contributed greatly to the event's success.

We were delighted to accept Summit Focus’ invitation to participate with the successful MBA Association of Ireland national conference and it was a pleasure working with a professional event management team to deliver our programme content.

Michael Kelly, President / Corporate Governance Association of Ireland /

Marie is very enthusiastic about getting people on board for her events, from speakers to participants to sponsors. This makes me always confident that her projects will be a success, apart from making it enjoyable to work with her.

Lukas Ziewer, Partner / Oliver Wyman /

I have known Marie for many years through her work as organiser of the European Insurance Form.  She has consistently produced high-quality conferences, efficiently run with interesting speakers addressing relevant topics.  The success of the Forum over the years, is due, no small part, to Marie's hard work, efficiency, excellent organisational skills and good humour.

James Grennan, Partner / A&L Goodbody /

We were delighted that Marie successfully engaged the participation of the Financial Regulator to make their first ever address to the annual Corporate Treasury conference this year.  Her contacts and commitment have proved invaluable once again in bringing together an excellent line up of speakers for the event.

What a great opportunity to hear multiple perspectives on running a Treasury operation in today’s ever changing environment. The venue was excellent and the organization was of the highest class. Marie Griffin’s level of professionalism and enthusiasm is an example to us all.

I recently spoke at the Corporate Treasury event and it was a pleasure to attend due in large part to Marie Griffin’s professionalism and ability to organise a corporate event. I look forward to attending and participating in events organised by Marie and her team in the future

Adrian Noone, Financial Controller / Calor Ireland /

Summit Focus exceeded all our expectations and delivered an undisputed best ever annual conference for the IACT this year. The programme, the speakers and the quality of engaged sponsors & exhibitors etc were perfectly pitched to our membership/audience. We look forward to more of the same next year.

Brendan Glynn, President / Irish Association of Corporate Treasurers /

The DIMA European Insurance Forum is one of a few conferences each year that is a must for internationally active insurance groups.  All the right people are there which is due to Marie Griffin and her conference management team and the focus is on global regulatory concerns.

Bradley Kading, President / Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers /

My experience is that the conferences organised by Marie Griffin and her team are extremely well organised. Speakers are carefully selected, and the discussions during question times and breaks are intense and interesting. But at the same time, there is a relaxing flavour of the personal touch of Marie, which makes all participants feel welcome.

Freddy Van den Spiegel, Chief Economist / BNP Paribas /

Thanks to the energy, commitment and professionalism of Marie Griffin who co-ordinated yet another successful European Insurance Forum in 2010.  

Stephen Devine, Managing Director / Transamerica /

Marie’s professional organisation was yet again done with flexibility, wit and a bit of flair.

Professor Michael Mainelli, Chairman / Z/Yen Group /

I recently spoke at the Corporate Treasury & Cash Management conference organised by Marie Griffin’s event management company. The conference was a roaring success. If it’s event management you want, then Marie is the person for you. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Marie and her company.

Alan McQuaid, Chief Economist / Bloxham Stockbrokers /

The Summit Focus marketing strategies resulted in an unprecedented conference sell-out this year and we were also delighted with the high profile post conference media coverage achieved by Summit Focus which elevated our Association’s profile to our target Irish business leaders audience.

Jimmy Doyle, Conference Sub-Committee Chairman / Irish Association of Corporate Treasurers /

Just a short note to thank you and your team at Summit Focus for delivering another standout Corporate Treasury and Cash Management conference for our members.  Everyone was impressed with the level of speakers Summit Focus engaged across the variety of topics covered. As usual the promotional material and brochures were very professional and no doubt helped us achieve such high attendance levels. The subsequent media coverage of the event was excellent.
