Irish Funds Future Leaders - First Event of 2026 on 29 January

We are delighted to announce the first Irish Funds Future Leaders event of 2026, delivered in collaboration with the Irish Debt Securities Association (IDSA) and kindly hosted and sponsored by Byrne Wallace Shields LLP and Apex.

This dynamic event will feature an exclusive fireside chat with the CEOs of the two industry associations - Pat Lardner (Irish Funds) and Gary Palmer (IDSA). The speakers will share valuable insights on:

• Their leadership journeys

• The synergies between both sectors

• Opportunities for growth and collaboration 

• The evolving value these industries bring to Ireland’s financial ecosystem

The discussion will be followed by a drinks and networking reception, offering a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers from across both sectors and set the tone for a year of meaningful professional engagement. This is an invite only event and member firms will have received the registration link via email.
