RESURGENCE 25X Webinar 19 January 2021 Five guest speakers. Twenty-five examples of Resurgence. Five customised attendant engagement activities. One goal: Support a vibrant recovery for Ireland from COVID 19. ATPO linked up with Waterford Chamber to deliver this unique event. As part of ATPO’s contribution to a vibrant recovery from COVID 19 Resurgence 25 X took place at 11.00 am GMT on the 19th of January. It is a Waterford conceived initiative to share, magnify, and multiply the ideas and opportunities for a resurgence in Ireland that can be adopted now and show fruit in 2025. It is very clear that the devastation wrought by the COVID 19 pandemic on the Irish population will take a number of years to undo. Whatever steps we take now to get us back to our vibrant best may not take full effect until 2025 (or even later). Government departments, agencies, etc. have been working on the recovery agenda since the start of the spread of COVID 19. But it is also clear that we will need as many options as possible from as wide a field of contributors as possible to push us through to full sustainable recovery. Resurgence 25 X was the first of a number of such events planned for 2021. The objective is To share, magnify, and multiply the ideas and opportunities for a resurgence in Ireland that can be adopted now and show fruit in 2025.
