About the Conference
One of Ireland’s leading education and research conferences attracting 400+ participants from the education and research sector, such as ICT directors, managers, ICT & research staff, librarians, cyber security experts, and many more.
We began our collaboration with HEAnet in 2024, successfully managing their conference that year. Following the tremendous success of that event, we are now proudly organising the 2025 and 2026 editions.
What the client had to say
“We engaged Conference Organisers to manage the annual HEAnet Conference—our flagship client engagement event. With a 25-year history, we wanted to bring fresh energy and perspective to the event as we launched our new 5 year strategic plan.
Given our team’s busy workload, we needed a trusted partner to manage the event, allowing us to focus on our core responsibilities. Conference Organisers exceeded our expectations, demonstrating professionalism, reliability, and efficiency. Their proactive approach meant we never had to ask twice, and their service levels were outstanding. The result was a highly professional conference with record attendance (430+ attendees), delivered on budget and with excellent feedback from both attendees and our management team. We look forward to working with Conference Organisers again to create another fantastic event for our clients and partners this year. Thank you, Conference Organisers!”
What the delegates thought
“Absolutely fantastic event, well done to the entire event management team. Looking forward to next year.”
“Overall, a great experience! Thanks to everybody taking part in organizing this year's edition.”
“A fantastic event which was very well organised - a varied programme, lots of exhibitors, super social events. A seamless delivery of the HEAnet national conference - well done to everyone involved.”

General Assemblies are the heart of MSF associative life. They are both a key participatory moment for the associative leadership and a social event during which members can meet and connect. At General Assemblies, members of MSF gather to hold the association to account and make strategic decisions for the future of MSF. The Assembly is an opportunity for members to voice their opinion, to propose and vote on motions and to elect new board members.
The MSF International General Assembly is usually organised internally, but for the first time Medicine Sans Frontiers trusted the planning to Conference Organisers which resulted in a successful 4-day event held at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.
The Welcome Reception was held in the gardens of the Haddington Hotel on a warm summers evening and the Farewell Party in the grounds of the Royal Marine Hotel, and again the sun shone for our wonderful guests.
