Bringing A Smile To Our Faces

Over the last few months, we've been working hard not only to put together a great lineup of speakers (of which more a little later this week) but a strong team of partners too.

We've welcomed on board AFA O'Meara (whose MD, Stuart Fogarty, proved such a popular speaker at Smile 2006), Action Recruitment (specialist hospitality recruiters), YouGetItBack.com (the lost and found specialists who bring out the good samaritan in all of us) and Seasons at the Guinness Storehouse (whose hospitality went down a treat last year).

On top of that, we're delighted to be working again with Quadriga, Failte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, Dcoy Design (whose excellent logo design for Smile continues to draw admiring glances), Eventznet and the Tourism Research Centre.

No wonder you find us smiling from ear to ear at Smile Central! We find working with them a real pleasure and warmly recommend them to you.

The hospitality sector is very much at the forefront of delivering both corporate and national brand experience to the masses and, as such, is a real 'serious' indicator of how we are putting our money where our brand mouths are, so to speak. To get 'it' right here - in this arena where 'viral marketing' rules, is to be brand-savvy indeed! No other sector, and no other conference, can better demonstrate the role and power of 'brand' and branding. The team here at Bradley McGurk therefore wish you guys very well with this fascinating Smile conference and formidable line-up. Keep smiling through, folks....seriously. I hope to catch up with you there Gerard.

Brian, thanks for your very generous feedback and ringing endorsement. Like you, we see hospitality as a real people-business and therefore a natural meeting place for professionals from all sectors to learn more about how to get up-close and personal with their customers.

I look forward to seeing you there on the day and to hearing your own particular take on things in our round-table discussions.
