Additionally, Front Row Speakers source celebrity speakers for corporate events such as conferences and hospitality, product launches, and management training programmes.

Frankie and his team bring together the world’s leading speakers from the business, leadership, personal development and mindfulness sphere. It is unique in that it is for all industries and for anybody who has the burning desire to constantly improve and reach their potential. In only its second year, The Pendulum Summit sold out with 1,800 delegates in January 2015 and since then has welcomed over 35,000 guests from Ireland and abroad.
Frankie was educated in PBC Cork and completed his Economics Degree in UCC. Recently, Frankie received a Higher Diploma in Leadership from the IMI and a Diploma in Sponsorship from ITEC.

Testimonials
“Frankie was superb, many thanks for everything – the event was a great success and we really appreciated all the work that was put into the presentation to fit the theme of our event.” – Victoria Whelton, Accenture
“I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Frankie Sheehan in piecing together a unique CIPD experience. The event went very well, it was very well attended and the feedback was excellent. Frankie’s insistence on attention to detail made the event run very smoothly. I would endorse Front Row in running similar events in the future as I know that Frankie ensure the Front Row team prepares for these as he did for rugby games with Ireland and Munster.” – Enda McNulty, Motiv8.
