Cork Convention Bureau

Cork Convention Bureau supports organisers who are considering Cork for conferences, conventions, corporate meetings, association events and incentive programmes. As the official events bureau for Cork, it provides local knowledge and practical guidance to help planners assess the destination, identify suitable venues and build an effective event programme.

The bureau assists throughout the planning journey, from early destination research and conference bids through to venue selection, accommodation searches and site inspections. Its team can recommend hotels, conference facilities, unusual meeting spaces, gala dinner locations, local activities and trusted event suppliers. Organisers can also receive help with bid documents, itineraries, promotional material, civic reception arrangements and introductions to professional conference organisers, destination management companies, caterers, audiovisual specialists, entertainment providers and team-building companies.

Cork Convention Bureau works with a broad network of local partners, including hotels and venues with facilities for small meetings through to conferences accommodating large delegate groups. This allows the team to match an event brief with the right combination of meeting space, accommodation, dining and delegate experiences. It also offers tailored resources for association planners, corporate meeting organisers and destination management companies.

Sustainability and local engagement form an important part of the bureau’s advice. Event planners can explore responsible activities, community projects and experiences that connect delegates with Cork. The team can also advise on accessibility, transport, social programmes and ways to make the most of the city and wider county.

Based at Elizabeth Fort in Cork, the bureau offers impartial support without charging organisers for its core advisory service. Its experienced team provides a useful first point of contact for anyone looking to bring a conference, meeting or business event to Cork and coordinate the right local partners.
