Fáilte Ireland and Kerry Convention Bureau joined forces to recruit academics and thought leaders in the region to bring more international conferences to the area.

Over the last two weekends, Kerry has been showcased as a unique and inspiring business tourism destination with two educational programs hosting Meetings, Incentives, Conference and Exhibition (MICE) event planners from across the UK and the US.

Our first #MeetInKerry Ezine is packed full of the latest MICE news from the Kingdom of Kerry.

From the Failte Ireland case study on #TBEX2017 to our newly launched CSR partnership, we hope the stories and information will inspire fresh thinking and new perspectives on why you should #MeetInKerry for your next event.

Corporate Social Responsibility is defined as a commitment to contribute to the economic, environmental and social sustainability of a community. The Kerry Convention Bureau believes passionately in the way CSR initiatives can enhance Business Events.

The Bureau has seen first-hand the positive mutual benefits that such activities can bring when organisations choose to integrate a CSR component into their conference, incentive or event when held in Kerry

The Association of Irish Professional Conference Organisers (AIPCO) is a non-profit organisation founded in 1999 and is the premier professional association for conference organisers in Ireland.

Its annual AIPCO Business Tourism Conference took place on 22-23 March 2018 in the Great Southern Hotel, Killarney. The event is a must-attend event for anyone involved in Business Tourism in Ireland and with the destination appeal of a trip to Kerry as a bonus, there was record attendance for this year’s event with over 200 delegates attending.
