International association executives are being invited to
attend a three-day summit aimed at finding ‘community driven solutions to global
issues’ through their conferences.
BestCities Global Alliance, a network of 13 convention bureaux
from cities around the world, is holding its annual Global Forum, in Dublin, Ireland,
January 24-26, 2025.
Under the theme “Creative Collaborations: Innovating for
Greater Communities”, the event promises ‘challenging and inspiring sessions’ which
will ‘ignite innovation’.
Named the European Capital of Smart Tourism in 2024, Dublin
is home to experts in AI, sustainability, and digital transformation – many of
whom will share their insights at the Global Forum. Attendees can also explore
the city, with networking events hosted at local icons like the Guinness
Storehouse, The Convention Centre Dublin and including the TradFest programme.
“We are thrilled to host the 2025 Global Forum in Dublin – a
thriving technology hub that has so much to teach the world in terms of
innovation and transformation,” said Loren Christie, Managing Director of
BestCities Global Alliance.
“We’re fine-tuning an education-rich program with
thought-provoking workshops, valuable networking opportunities, and
collaborations with local community-building organizations like the Gaelic
Athletics Association and Gaelic Players Association.
“Everything ties back to our community-focused theme, with a
goal of cultivating connections that lead to positive, meaningful and lasting
change within the meetings industry.”
Sam Johnston, manager, Dublin Convention Bureau, said: “Hospitality
is in our DNA, so to have the privilege to welcome so many international
associations alongside our BestCities colleagues will be a great way to kick
off 2025. We are excited to showcase so
many elements of our city, from venues to our famous culture, music and sports.”
