Are you a member of a Marketing Institute?

Hey all,

I'm not in marketing too long, having switched career directions from HR a few months back.

I'm a little lost in terms of the "scene" in Ireland and how people keep up to date with the latest developments and network etc.

I know that in the HR world, the CIPD is excellent in terms of having events every couple of weeks to network and keep up to date etc.

Is there such a thing in the marketing field?

The marketing institute www.mii.ie runs monthly breakfast and evening events. There's a number of similar events run by the PR institute, the PRII www.prii.ie Please note that these are paid for, although I think members get in for free

In addition there's plenty of marketing discussion at related events like connector.ie, bizcamp, etc

Perhaps consider joining the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, very large membership, diverse business group sectors and company size as well as the usual trawling 'business consultants'. DCC organise a great range of events some free some expensive but many well worthwhile etc.

In essence a proactive but very good operational marketing environment offering plenty of experential business development/marketing learning possibilities.

CIM Ireland or UK is the gold standard in the profession. The UK membership has alot more in regards of resources and available courses. Basic membership is free if I remember rightly as is their mailing list.

All the best!
