Enhance your INMA Media Innovation Week experience with the dynamic spirit of Dublin: a city where history, innovation, and world-renowned hospitality converge.

Dublin is a thriving, compact capital known for its vibrant culture, tech-driven economy, and the warmth of its people. The city’s unique mix of old-world charm and modern innovation makes it a prime destination for media professionals looking to explore the cutting edge of the news industry. With its youthful, ambitious population and a culture of open collaboration, Dublin is a city that constantly strives for progress — with creativity and sustainability at the heart of its efforts.

As one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech hubs, Dublin is home to a flourishing media landscape that rivals the continent’s largest cities. Dublin boasts a media scene rich in digital transformation and innovation.

And if you need more reasons to join us in Dublin, consider these facts about Ireland:

Ireland ranks as one of the top countries in the world for press freedom (World Press Freedom Index, 2023)
Dublin is a top European destination for tech companies, with over 1,200 multinational companies calling it home (IDA Ireland, 2023)
Ireland consistently ranks among the top in Europe for quality of life and sustainable business practices (OECD, 2023)

All this, plus the warm Irish hospitality and the city’s legendary black gold — Guinness — make Dublin the perfect host for INMA’s Media Innovation Week.

“Superb array of content, many many takeaways – a full notebook and a whole new motivation at the end of the week.”

“It was a great way to connect with people from other media/publishing houses and to learn about the challenges they are facing. And of course about their success stories. Furthermore, INMA’s input and insights were very helpful to get a broader picture of the media industry, conversations with their representatives were inspiring. Great spirit over the three to five days, if you count the study tour in.”

“A wonderfully varied and content-rich conference that just keeps getting better and better.”

“Very well organised, good variety in programme, and a lot of concrete and fresh examples of everyday work.”

“INMA conferences are the best media conferences in the world, with the newest tips and trends.”

“Well prepared with lots of concrete examples from practice, good speakers and inspiring workshops, precisely presented trends, and a cross-section of the state of the industry.”

“Super interesting themes and talks. 7x7 was a great way to learn in a very efficient way what others are doing at the moment.”

“A rich programme of speakers, effective 7x7 format with concrete case studies, strong members' connection and informal atmosphere that enhance the effectiveness and the focus of the conference.”
