Extras to make your event truly shine: Limerick’s got the lot
Ensuring fast, reliable Wi-Fi for delegates can be the difference between a good event and a great one. For conference organisers and meeting planners, delivering such connectivity at a meeting location often means extra cost. Fortunately, Limerick has got you covered.
Because they’re worth it: here’s how much value delegates bring to a region
Delegates for conferences and meetings are valued customers in many ways. Business visitors arrive with considerable spending power and they leave with a positive lasting impression.
Secret Ireland offers business visitors a glimpse into a world seldom seen
As any visitor to a new location will tell you, there’s no feeling quite like knowing you’ve found some hidden place, undiscovered by mass tourism. Business visitors to the Shannon Region can experience this feeling thanks to the region’s partnership with Secret Ireland.
This is a must to brush off the 2020 cobwebs and hit the ground running with a fresh start for 2021. Join @NetworkLimerick @RunJOC

Fantastic news for @ShannonAirport this evening. Well done to everyone who has worked so hard to lobby for our airport and the aviation sector nationally.
Some great news for Limerick this morning. The greenway refurbishment will really add to our tourism assets

Shannon Region makes sense for sensor makers global conference

In 2011, it took its Sensors Conference to Limerick, bringing close to 600 delegates from 42 countries. In 2017, the organisation held its second Sensors Council Summer School at the same venue.
