Public Conference in Dublin Castle, Thursday 9th June 2011.


Be sure you have a place booked for the Year of Craft 2011 Public Conference – Craft Conscious: Re-shaping Global Futures in the Innovation Age, taking place in Dublin Castle, June 9th 2011.

Check out the conference programme to see more about our exciting line-up of speakers for the event, providing a mixture of engaging, thought provoking and lyrical presentations alongside the hard hitting business of craft, design and the creative industries.

We are especially thrilled that President Mary Mc Aleese, Patron of Year of Craft 2011, will address delegates during the conference proceedings.

Edmund de Waal’s first appearance in Ireland since his best selling book ‘The Hare with Amber Eyes’ was published, is sure to have us enraptured and spellbound during his keynote address, Edna Dos Santos-Duisenberg joins us from the United Nations to underpin the value of Creative Industries, and Fintan O’Toole as moderator is sure to provoke lively engagement from the floor.

After the conference those attending are in with a chance, (due to limited availability), to join us at a Gala Reception at Farmleigh to further develop links made with visiting international and national delegates.

Tickets for the full day Public Conference including lunch at €60, are selling fast.  To secure your place, register online now at: http://bit.ly/ln2OJH  

And don’t forget we’re also waiting with bated breath to see if Dublin’s bid for World Design Capital 2014 has been shortlisted – a decision is due next week and you can keep track of events at www.pivotdublin.com.
