Conferences & Events
Research shows that conference delegates and event attendees are looking for something a little different.* Many events are now taking place in the regions. Companies find that breaks away for employees can have very beneficial results.
Additionally, the south east region is developing a strong identity and emerging as a key player in employment and industry. All of this points to the increasing importance of Kilkenny as a central location in this development and of The Hub as a unique resource, catering to these emerging requirements.
For events such as conferences, launches, team-building days, broadcasts and sporting events, The Hub is the only indoor venue in the south east offering a multi-purpose space on this scale with quality additional services on site.
