Testimonials

"I explained to my colleagues in Europe and the US the meaning of 'Céad Míle Fáilte' and they certainly appreciated the 100,000 welcomes which met us wherever we went in Killarney. I cannot praise the staff at the INEC, and staff in the hotels, restaurants and pubs throughout the town highly enough. Their professionalism and service levels were second to none and showcased Killarney, Kerry and Ireland to the very highest standards. The logistics of bringing 2,500 people together from all over Europe is not easy but everything worked very smoothly and we definitely showed that Ireland is among the best locations in Europe for international conferences. I would like to thank all the people of Killarney for the hospitality shown to all of us in Google. My hope is that we can bring the conference back to Killarney again in the future."

"The National Events Centre was transformed into a Gala Irish Evening featuring nationally know artists! Pipe and drape, monolithic Celtic "stones", an array of creative lighting and spectacular floral illuminated the facility and provided the perfect setting for the outstanding entertainers that brought the guests to their feet! During the actual event, everything was timed down to the last minute, no small feat! This new facility's eager staff did a fine job setting up and waiting on our guests"

"I can honestly say that Ireland's National Event & Conference Centre is one of the, if not the best venue I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. The event has been very demanding from start until finish with numerous changes to the brief and very detailed and specific information required. Mandy Gabriel and the team were always on hand and able to give information almost immediately on most occasions. There was never a time when I was chasing for information which meant that my client was satisfied as her questions were always answered quickly. Where there were issues, suitable solutions were always offered. A great venue to deal with, with a can do attitude!!!"

"We travelled a fiercely competitive road before we finally received confirmation that Ireland had secured this prestigious international sporting event. Without doubt the deciding factors to influence the executive members of the World Taekwondo Federation's decision were namely the superbly appointed Ireland's National Event & Conference Centre combined with the international appeal of Killarney. Technically, logistically and aesthetically Ireland's National Event & Conference Centre proved itself to be the only venue for this 4 day event, the first ever Worlds Championships of any Olympic Sport held in Ireland."
