In and around Dublin’s cultural centre – Temple Bar – enjoy Georgian architecture, Gaelic tradition and an eclectic mix of history and innovation in one of Europe’s hottest cosmopolitan hubs.

Conference attendees will also be treated to events at landmark venues including:

• Welcome reception at Mansion House, the home of the Lord Mayor of Dublin;
• Opening ceremony at the National Concert Hall;
• An exclusive performance of Riverdance at the Gaiety Theatre;
• A dinner event at Dublin Castle;
• And an evening of stout and fare at The Guinness Storehouse & Museum, the acclaimed brewer’s original brewery.
