University of Galway Conference & Event Centre

University of Galway’s Conference & Event Centre gives organisers access to a broad choice of campus spaces for conferences, meetings, exhibitions, concerts, gala dinners and other gatherings. The venue range includes boardrooms and classrooms for smaller groups, lecture theatres for larger sessions, exhibition areas and the multi-purpose Bailey Allen Hall. Set theatre-style, Bailey Allen Hall can accommodate up to 1,000 delegates and can be divided into three separate, soundproof spaces for different event layouts.

Organisers can draw on audio-visual and computer facilities, with on-site technical support, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi and parking. The centre’s team can assist with venue bookings and site visits, practical planning, budget matters and event coordination, offering support from early arrangements through to delivery. Campus restaurants, cafés and a riverside bar provide food and drink options, while bookable catering services are also available.

For events spanning several days, the university’s campus residences provide accommodation for delegates and visiting groups, close to meeting spaces and within reach of Galway city centre. Sports facilities can add further options for group programmes. With spaces ranging from small meeting rooms to a large conference hall, the campus can suit a variety of event sizes and formats. Organisers can contact the centre to discuss requirements and identify suitable spaces and support for their event.
