The theme for this year’s conference is “Creative Collaborations: Innovating for Greater Communities”. We will explore how creative collaborations can ignite innovation, foster inclusivity, and transform global challenges into community -driven solutions. We’re proud to collaborate with local organizations like the Gaelic Athletics Association and Gaelic Players Association, two bodies intrinsically woven into Irish sport & culture. Their commitment to community-building aligns perfectly with our theme. And also, as the European capital of Smart Tourism in 2024, Dublin sets the stage for forward-thinking discussions. We will have sessions from leaders in our thriving technology knowledge hub, where experts will share insights on AI, sustainability, and digital transformation. Our aim is to harness innovation to create more resilient, connected, and compassionate communities. From grassroots initiatives to city-wide projects, we’ll explore how collective efforts between the 13 BestCities partners and international associations can strengthen the fabric of the global meetings industry.
