The Convention Centre Dublin

“Being a City centre venue is really an advantage”

Being located in the heart of Ireland’s capital city brings with it a host of advantages. Dublin is one of Europe’s premier tourist destinations, and we find this is a strong driving factor in attracting delegates to sign up for conferences and events. For delegates, the city combines a strong business and innovation focus, with a cultural, architectural and musical heritage that begs to be explored. City centre venues are also extremely accessible. For example, the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) is just 20 minutes from Dublin Airport, with over 63 direct routes to all major UK and European cities, as well as daily flights to the Emirates and several North American cities. The CCD is also located in Dublin Docklands on the edge of the city centre, so we are minutes away from the main motorway network and ferry ports, meaning that city centre traffic can usually be avoided. Furthermore, delegates can also benefit from excellent road and public transport connections, enabling them to explore the rest of the city with ease. Dublin’s relatively small size and the CCD’s central location makes it a perfect choice for international clients who want to get a taste of Dublin’s shops, bars, restaurants, nightlife, and tourist attractions, where delegates are often impressed by the city’s competitiveness and value for money. A host of hotels and facilities lie within walking distance of the venue, and we find this gives delegates much greater freedom to manage their stay here, enabling business and leisure to be easily combined.
