THE HISTORY
"There is no place that conjures up in my mind more Irish romance than the wide and fair domains of Crom,” John Ynyr Burges of Parkanaur, wrote this observation in his diary in 1863. A tribute to the magnificent seat of the Earls of Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
THE ESTATE
The Crom Castle Estate includes the ruins of the Old Castle burned down in 1764, The Victorian Boathouse built by the 3rd Earl of Erne and was the former Lough Erne Yacht Club. Guests also experience the tea house, the church, schoolhouse and many other unique features of the estate's old charm. The castle is privately owned by the Crichton family, Earls of Erne and the estate is managed by the National Trust.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Crom Castle is privately owned by The Earl and Countess of Erne and not open to the general public. A home rather than a hotel where guests can enjoy the warmth and hospitality by The Earl and Countess and their wonderful staff. All bedrooms are warmly decorated with ensuite bath and shower rooms and give the feel of a home.
Author: Big Game Hunting Networking with Executives, Billionaires & Celebrities | Christopher Kai
"Billionaire investor Charlie Munger believes the easiest way to solve problems is to look at the problem in reverse. So instead of asking you how do you network better?
Christopher Kai reverses the problem and shares the 20 most common mistakes people make in networking, and how you can avoid them to develop life-changing relationships and lasting communities with Big Gamers – anyone in a position of influence you think is out of your league, which includes but is not limited to billionaires, executives and celebrities.
Kai shares specific, actionable steps before, during, and after an event so you can identify and meet the key Big Gamers to improve your personal and professional success."
Hands down, there is no better - or faster way to scale your business than through professional networking" Shelly Yorgesen (10-Year Networking Veteran)

Two Professionally Choreographed Executive Networking Events
For nearly a decade Shelly Yorgesen has lead High-Level Live Executive Networking Events for Business Owners, CEO's & Executives.
These Live Executive Events with nearly 120 Executives in two markets, (soon to be three) are thriving today in the US. In 2017 Shelly launched The Veranda Virtual Network, an International Virtual Networking Experience just for Women In Business. This ALL Virtual Networking Experience connects women in Business for a monthly virtual event from Australia to Canada to Florida.
On Tuesday & Thursday morning, Shelly will host two LIVE Professionally Choreographed Executive Networking Events using a proprietary process she has been instrumental in developing over the past decade.
During these two power-packed Executive Events, all attendees will not only be hand placed into powerful six-person teams to connect utilizing Shelly's proprietary process, but also be given twelve minutes to present core needs, company concerns, and/or connections to be solved by the team.
We have found that trust accelerates business faster than anything else. This decade-proven process allows trust to be built fast, problems to be solved, doors to be opened, and the process for transactional relationships to begin.
Why two Networking Events? Why one Tuesday & one Thursday?
Our mission is for all Symposium attendees to leave this amazing event with many, many powerful new collaborative relationships. On Thursday all attendees will be hand-placed into an entirely new team experience. Thus allowing deep connections to be forged with a second team of executives.
"If you have a business, you need a book. Because everybody has a story to tell." Karen Mc Dermott (Best-selling Author, Authorship Coach and Award-winning Publisher)

International Business Owner of The Year,
2019
The International Business Owner of the Year Award for 2019 will be bestowed upon the business owner with the following qualities in equal measures: sets an excellent example in leadership role, exhibits self-sacrifice and promotes teamwork and cooperation in order to foster a harmonious working environment.
International Business Innovator of The Year,
2019
When everyone else takes the well-trod path the International Business Innovator of the Year 2019 will have taken the road less traveled and ultimately excelled in their endeavors. At considerable risk to their professional status, reputation or even potentially the bottom line, the person most deserving of this award will have changed something significantly in their field and likely created a new wave that will be easily ridden by those following in their wake.
International Business Philanthropist of The Year, 2019
Success is never more celebrated than when, in the face of suffering of community members, businesses can make the decision to do something about it. In many cases, one clear individual is the catalyst and ongoing driving force behind such social change, and the most exceptional of individuals in this respect with be our International Business Philanthropist of the Year, 2019.
"You will never feel anything quite like the spine-tingling moments you will experience during this exquisite banquet.
A welcome drink with the Earl & Countess congregated in the main hall before settling for an intimate moment in the drawing room.
Before being summoned to walk through the grand hall through to the magnificent dining room. The ambiance created by the bagpiper is one that needs to be experience to fully comprehend.
The evening continues with great food and grand conversation!"
- Karen Mc Dermott
Gala dinner hosted by the Earl and Countess of Erne, with silent auction fundraiser event. 100% of proceeds going to our chosen charity: 'Operation Christmas Magic'
In 2013 our family was so inspired by a generous act of giving that we wanted to do our own magical experience!...We were making chocolates as a family in our kitchen, and dreamed up Operation Christmas Magic...the rest is history!
- Mr. & Mrs. Claus, aka Bret & Shelly Yorgesen
“We are the Macfarlane family, my kids were delighted to be there, it was a very memorable day. Something we cherish a bit more now of days. I had to leave early, I'm the father. I have late stage 4 cancer in my lungs and it's been really flaring up lately.
The gifts we're amazing, my girls we're in LOVE with that day.
Thanx for bringing some peace at a truly time of need.”
