About the Event
Professional, industry and special cause associations in Ireland are invited to attend the inaugural Associations Conference Dublin on 8 September 2026.
Although associations represent members from many different parts of the economy and community, they have much in common in the methodology of how they operate. This conference will address important association issues such as governance, management, membership, communications, events, advocacy, member services and finance.
Appropriately hosted by Croke Park, which is owned by Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), this event is an opportunity for Irish associations to learn from senior peers and respected advisors.
The facilitator will be John Peacock AM, an association thought leader who has presented to associations in 17 nations. John is Director of Governology.
Programme to be released soon!
