Last week, working alongside Anna from Evolve Events and in partnership with our colleagues at Dublin Convention Bureau and Meet in Ireland, we were thrilled to lead out on an industry-first FAM trip for UK event agency leaders, showcasing and and the future of sustainable event design.

Thirteen answered the call to come and be on an intrepid overland adventure where the journey was as much a part of the experience as the destinations being showcased.

This innovative and truly not only provided an opportunity for the to directly compare different travel modes, with meaningful experiences woven in along the way but dove deep into what our two globally recognised MICE destinations have to offer; with contrasting and complimentary itineraries that highlighted sustainable hotels and venues, transformative experiences, social impact projects and immersive landscapes.

With extending the warmest of Kerry welcomes to the group at Ballygarry Estate, Hotel and Spa in Tralee with a members networking event designed to facilitate connection and conversation, the group then travelled on to where they enjoyed a gentle paced couple of days, experiencing ’s business events infrastructure first hand in a programme filled with warm hospitality, local artisan delights, music, laughter and stories.

New Episode: Kerry Ambassador Programme Podcast

It is our pleasure to share Episode Fifteen of our Kerry Ambassador Programme Podcast Series, created in partnership with Radio Kerry and presented by Mary Gallagher 🎙

In our first episode for 2026, and at a time when Irish film and it’s stars have been firmly in the spotlight, we are thrilled to introduce Áine Moriarty, Founder and Chief Executive of Irish Film and Television Academy 🎥

Hailing from Killorglin, and dividing her time between Kerry and Dublin, Áine is also the Executive Producer of the annual IFTA Awards Ceremony & Broadcast and is a founding member of the Film Academies Network of Europe.

Áine established the IFTN Network (www.iftn.ie) back in 1995 and prior to this she was the manager of Film Ireland magazine at the Irish Film Centre in Dublin. Áine is a member of the European Film Academy, a member of the Audio-visual Federation of Ireland; a member of Screen Producers Ireland; a member of the Film Steering Group Kerry; and a Board Member of the Kerry International Film Festival and the Global Economic Summit.

Our interview delves into Áine’s love for Kerry, her leadership role within the Irish Arts and Culture scene and her thoughts on this year’s international film awards season which was dominated by Killarney’s own Jessie Buckley. It also touches on the preservation of Irish language through the arts and the value she places on industry associations such as IFTA raising the profile of Kerry and Ireland as a place to film large scale productions and nurture the next generation of film makers, both in front of the screen and behind.

To listen to how being from Kerry has shaped and influenced Áine’s career and her hopes to deliver economic outcomes for Kerry through attracting and hosting film related business events, with the support of Kerry Convention Bureau, Fáilte Ireland and the Kerry Ambassador Programme, you can download/listen to the episode using the links below:

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday for our first ever event 🙏

Set against a backdrop of blue skies and expansive city views, in the wonderfully vibrant surrounds of Aloft Dublin City WXYZ Rooftop Bar, we shone a spotlight on Kerry’s offering through a delightful and inspirational evening of connection and conversation.

The true magic of what makes a Meet In Kerry event so extraordinary and memorable is the people behind the destination who collaborate at every touch point to deliver exceptional and meaningful business events… and with 30 partners alongside us, we were thrilled to extend the warmest of Kerry welcomes to our invited from our DMC, PCO and Corporate network.

With partners in attendance from across Kerry’s five MICE ready destinations of **le, , , and , guests had the opportunity to find out more about Kerry’s incredible hotels, versatile meeting spaces, out of this world venues and authentic experiences, and explore new possibilities for their clients.

Following a curated drinks experience featuring artisan producers and signature pours that showcased the best of Kerry flavours, we then moved downstairs to Aloft’s new Liberties Suite for Kerry Voices: MICE Edition, hosted by industry thought leader and MC Extraordinaire Padraic Gilligan.

In a wide ranging conversation with our future focused innovators who are all actively playing their part in shaping Kerry’s business events legacy, you could have heard a pin drop as Miriam Ferriter, Michelle Murphy, Catherine Carty and Brendan Curtin helped the audience as they shared stories and insights which reflected the creativity, synergy, and unique voice of the destination.

Our event closed with guests taking away bunches of daffodils, in support of the Irish Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day, and kindly sponsored by Killarney Daffodil Farm. With a donation being made on behalf of the event, these beautiful blooms were not only reflective of the Kerry colours and symbolic in representing the start of spring and tourism season but also served to deliver a meaningful impact for an organisation playing a key role in supporting our community.

A special thank you to Louise, Ana and Leah at Aloft Dublin City.
Both event spaces were the perfect backdrop for our event and you were all superstars in working with us to deliver the event.
