CONVENTION CENTRE DUBLIN
WIPM Summit 2024 will be taking place on 7th March at the Convention Centre Dublin.
The Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) was developed to provide a world-class conference venue in the heart of Ireland’s capital city. It’s located in Dublin’s Docklands, within the finance and technology hub of the city.
Thanks to its central location in Dublin, the CCD is easy to reach by car, bus or train. Approximately 25 minutes from the airport and close to major reference points in the city such as the River Liffey, O’Connell Street and CHQ, making your way to the centre should be hassle free.
By Air
Dublin is highly accessible for delegates travelling from the UK, Europe, the US, and beyond. Dublin Airport is just 25 minutes from the Convention Centre Dublin via the Port Tunnel. Dublin Airport facilitates direct flights to all major UK and European cities and daily flights to the Emirates and several North American cities.
Alternatively, several buses connect the airport to Dublin city centre. The Airlink Express will take you to the nearby Docklands and IFSC stops, or you can get on Aircoach service 700 which will transport you to O’Connell Street, within minutes’ walk of the venue.
