The afternoon business session, held at the RDI Hub, featured an update on the Kerry Ambassador Programme, engaging panel discussions with Kerry Ambassadors and Programme Partners, expertly moderated by Mary Gallagher and a keynote speech by world record-breaking Irish Open Water Swimmer, Nuala Moore. Nuala, a Di**le native, shared her experiences as an adventurer and author, highlighting the significance of place and character in driving progress and innovation.

With its theme ‘Shaped by the landscape; Exploring The Impact Of The Kerry Character in Business from the Local to the Global’, the day celebrated the significance of place and character running through Kerry’s success stories and the innovative people who continue to drive progress, legacy and impact on a local and global stage ☘

Last week, @@kcbkerry had the pleasure of attending #AIPCO2025, Ireland's annual #BusinessEvents conference as part of #TeamKerry, #connecting with #EventProfs from around the island of Ireland ☘ The event was exceptional this year, both for the calibre of speakers, inspiring content and the collaborative atmosphere it fostered across all facets of Ireland's business event sector. Day one commenced with Maria Melia from the Department of Tourism, Paul Mockler from Fáilte Ireland, and David Boyce from Tourism Ireland setting the tone for 2025 by discussing the new national Business Events Strategy, market insights, activities and initiatives designed to enhance Ireland's #BusinessEvent economic impact, especially in regional areas and sustainable tourism. A highlight was Bettina Reventlow-Mourier from Copenhagen Convention Bureau, whose insights from managing a large CVB team in one of Europe's leading sustainable #MICE destinations were not only relevant but also thought-provoking and applicable for those managing a small bureau and regional membership base. A heartfelt thank you to Conor Meany, Nicola McGrane, Greg Carew, and the entire AIPCO - Association of Irish Professional Conference Organisers board for curating such a relevant and inspirational programme. Special appreciation to Fáilte Ireland for their support and to SITE Ireland | Society for Incentive Travel Excellence for their collaboration and as always, kudos to #MCExtraordinaire Padraic Gilligan for skilfully facilitating the sessions with his signature flair and humour and to Stephen Meehan for leading the charge on the wonderfully invigorating morning fun run 🙏 A special mention has to go to our good friend and industry partner Niamh Stack from Galway Convention Bureau - along with her colleague Una Murphy, Karen Jones and the dedicated team at The Galmont Hotel & Spa, Galway and all those from #TeamGalway who demonstrated the #PowerOf

Highlights include spending time sharing #MemorableMICEMoments from recent #MeetInKerry fam programmes with Jasna Goodwin, CMP, Rita Andrews and Maddie Clark, as they recounted their favourite memories from in their words #BestFamEver, enjoying a wide ranging and thought provoking #FutureFocused discussion with the very inspiring Anna Peters, reconnecting with both Sue Gold and Dipty Patel after what turned out to be years since we'd last met and reuniting with always delightful Lois Wallis, fellow micebook exhibitor for our now annual #DestinationMarketing chats.
