The Convention Centre Dublin

The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) excels in hosting repeat clients, consistently welcoming them back year after year for conferences, conventions, and awards ceremonies. The CCD offers unparalleled support, flexibility, and facilities to elevate every event.

The CCD’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, versatile spaces, cutting-edge technology, and sustainable hospitality make it an ideal venue. However, its greatest strength lies in its people. The relationships built by the CCD teams with clients, both new and returning, ensure a welcoming and seamless experience.

From initial research and booking to the final wrap-up, the CCD teams are dedicated to supporting every detail of your event. Some events take years to plan, with Account Managers fostering relationships at trade shows, industry events, and through personal connections. Upon signing your contract, a dedicated team of experts in event management, event production, ICT, and hospitality will work with you from planning to execution, ensuring a successful event.

“Always wonderful to have an event at The CCD – the facilities and staff are exactly what you need to ensure your event will run smoothly on the day.” Lisa Holmes, Marketing Manager, Dell Technologies.

The success of The CCD largely hinges on the strong relationships we’ve cultivated with client organizers, Professional Conference Organizers (PCOs), agencies, and suppliers. One notable partnership is with Kenes PCO, which began ten years ago when they brought the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID) to Dublin in 2015. Since then, The CCD has collaborated with Kenes on numerous events, including the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC) in 2023 and the upcoming International Gynaecological Cancer Society (IGCS) event later this year. This partnership has attracted over 11,500 international delegates, generating a local economic impact of over €21 million.

At The CCD, we prioritize building strong relationships with our clients and agencies, partnering with them to deliver world-class events. Our teams possess a deep understanding of our clients’ needs, the venue, and the events industry. By working collaboratively, we ensure the delivery of exceptional events and memorable experiences for all attendees.

“The CCD staff are the friendliest and most helpful staff of any venue that I have been in, especially in Europe.” Event Organiser, International Association.

Several prestigious events return to The CCD year after year, showcasing the exceptional work of our teams and the venue’s outstanding facilities.

The CCD has hosted numerous awards ceremonies, including the An Post Irish Book Awards, Irish Construction Excellence (ICE) Awards, and Women in Tech Awards. The venue provides a perfect setting for evenings of recognition and networking, and has been the chosen location for the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards multiple times since 2017. Another notable event is the Business & Finance Awards, which has honored leadership and corporate success at The CCD annually since its opening in 2010.

Dublin Comic Con has also become synonymous with The CCD, returning to the venue multiple times over the years.

It’s not just national events that come back to The CCD. Since opening in 2010, we have welcomed over 365,000 international conference delegates (ICDs), who come to Ireland for conferences that often choose Dublin and The CCD as their preferred location to discuss key topics and connect with peers in their field.

Just last week, The CCD hosted Kaseya’s flagship customer event, DattoCon Europe, for the second time, and they will return again in June 2025, having attracted over 2,700 ICDs across three events. The Temenos Community Forum, one of the largest global banking technology conferences, has brought over 3,000 ICDs to Dublin between its 2018 and 2024 conferences.

With Dublin’s reputation as an airline leasing hub, it’s no surprise that Airfinance has held multiple events at The CCD over the last 14 years, including the Euromoney Conferences in 2015 and the International Airfinance Conference from 2016 to 2023. The International Air Transport Association (IATA), representing some 330 airlines and over 80% of total air traffic, has held three large international events at The CCD since 2015, with the renowned Slots Conference taking place in 2023.

“The 152nd IATA Slot Conference was a great success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support and professionalism of the entire staff at The Convention Centre Dublin.” – Younda Dufournet, Projects Director for IATA Slot Conference, GL Events.

International events, particularly association conferences, typically rotate through three major hubs: EMEA, Australasia, and the US. This rotation means that while some organizers may wish to return annually, it’s not always possible. However, we are thrilled to see some of these events making their way back to The CCD. The European Society of Coloproctology, for instance, hosted their conference in Dublin in 2015 and again in 2022. Our Sales team is actively working on many events now cycling back to EMEA, and we are excited at the prospect of welcoming these events back to The CCD.

“If our conference ever brings us back to Dublin, we would not hesitate to go back to The CCD. You and your team are exceptional.” – Lauren Thomas, Event Manager, OWASP Foundation.

Event organizers choosing The CCD can be confident that our team not only knows the venue inside and out but is also familiar with many returning events. Our experienced teams know how to leverage the venue to elevate your event, proposing new and exciting solutions to partner with clients in delivering the best possible experience for their delegates.

Choosing The CCD for your event is an investment in excellence. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, a central location, and a team of experts, The CCD is the perfect choice for your next event. Join the many successful events that have taken place here and experience the difference The CCD can make.
