Our major event at Irelandweek this year once more is our IRELANDCON conference on Thursday November 1st, to be held at the new LMU Graduate school of Film and TV at 12105 W. Waterfront Drive, Playa Vista, CA 90094.
Irelandcon, the one stop shop for doing business with AND in Ireland.
With a key focus on celebrating innovation in tech, trade, entertainment and cultural ties between Ireland and Los Angeles, this year’s flagship conference is moving right into the heart of Silicon Beach to LMU’s new Playa Vista campus.
Immediately following the conference there will an excellent opportunity to connect with other makers and shapers at a B2B reception kindly hosted by LA Stadium & Entertainment District at the Belkin building next door to the conference.
