The Institute of Advertising Practitioners in Ireland’s annual meeting this lunchtime should be lively, with guest speaker David Wethey, chairman of Agency Assessments in the UK.

He’ll be talking about subjects close to the heart of every agency chasing new business, including how to pitch without wasting time, staff and money on free creative work.

Wethey's blogs are worth a look at makingbetterdecisionsbetter.com. The meeting is in the National Concert Hall's Carolan Room at 12.30pm.
