Thursday 16^th & Friday 17^th April 2026

Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort, Cavan

Returning for its third year, the next míde connect event will take place in Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort, Cavan on Thursday 16^th April, from 7pm and Friday 17^th April from 10am until 3.30pm, bringing together women working across physical activity, exercise and sport for two days of insight, connection and inspiration.  The theme of this year’s event is “Empowering career growth as women in physical activity, exercise, and sport”. You can expect honest and energising sessions, focusing on navigating progression, leading through change and positively impacting the future of our sector across career stages, as well as opportunities to network and connect with a growing community of women working within the space. 

The event opens on Thursday evening with a Fireside Chat, exploring career journeys, navigating barriers and challenges, and driving impact within the sector across career stages. Friday builds on this momentum with in-conversation sessions, networking opportunities and an interactive workshop focused on navigating change, strengthening professional identity, and developing practical strategies for career progression. 

Our vision is that this All-Island network will provide a forum for professional women working across all domains, to develop a community of practice for personal and professional development.
