Testimonial:
The School of Health and Human Performance, DCU recently engaged Suzanne Shaw to assist in the development and execution of the DEDIPAC Ireland Conference, raising awareness of the project and its outcomes. Innovative and creative, Suzanne is an extremely strong marketing professional. She looked at the brief at both a strategic and tactical level harnessing the necessary people and resources to create an effective and engaging conference. Very personable and an excellent project manager, I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future. I would recommend her highly.
