Fáilte Ireland has announced that three major conferences will be held in Dublin in the next few years, adding to the four already won by the Conference Ambassador Scheme.
The conference wins secure a total of 1,400 delegates to arrive in the city, worth €2 million to the Irish economy. Fáilte Ireland announced last month that four major conferences had been won through the scheme, with a further four to be announced.
The programme, under the 'Meet in Ireland' brand, is designed to give financial and practical support to individuals considering Ireland as a destination for their association meeting.
