Convention Centre Dublin

The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) is Ireland’s first purpose-built international conference venue, located in the heart of Dublin city and just 15 minutes from Dublin Airport.

The Convention Centre Dublin

The Convention Centre Dublin (The CCD) is an inspirational setting for meetings with fantastic views of the city. The venue has 22 multi-functional, flexible rooms, suitable for meetings, conferences and exhibitions of up to 8,000 delegates. It boasts a 1,995 seat auditorium, 4,500 square meters of exhibition space, banqueting for up to 3,000 guests and six foyer spaces. With panoramic views of the city, the bay and surrounding mountains, these unique foyer spaces flood the venue with natural light and offer the perfect setting for registration and hospitality.

The CCD is one of the most technologically sophisticated venues in the world, with state of the art equipment in every room, lighting, sound, rigging and IT solutions to enhance every event. The venue is close to Dublin’s top cultural and tourist attractions and 20,000 competitively priced hotel rooms are within easy reach. In 2021, The CCD achieved a Gold status, becoming only the third venue in the world to achieve the highest-level accreditation by the World Obesity Federation’s Healthy Venues Award programme.

Our vision is to become Ireland’s most sustainable venue and a leading expert in sustainable event delivery in Europe. One of our ambitions is to eliminate single use plastic at the venue, which was successfully launched in April 2021, when plastic was eliminated from all cash catering food options. Our online event platform and virtual event studio provides clients with the option to host their event in either virtual or hybrid format.

Testimonials

  • “Our sustainability plan ‘Green Days’ is very important to us. Declan helped us to realise our goal of offsetting our carbon footprint at The CCD and showcasing the Grown Forest project with whom we have collaborated, resulting in us planting almost 600 indigenous trees on protected land. We were also able to work closely with the digital signage department to create a bespoke solution, reducing the amount of printed signage needed.” - Bridget Barbieri, Event Manager, ESGE Days 2023

  • “Always wonderful to have an event at The CCD – the facilities and staff are exactly what you need to ensure your event will run smoothly on the day. The CCD staff who were present during the day on the floor were also really lovely and friendly people.” – Lisa Holmes, Marketing Manager, Dell Technologies

  • “The staff are the friendliest and most helpful staff of any venue that I have been in, especially in Europe. I would use the venue again in the future. Everyone we interacted with was a great help to us in making the event run smoothly. Attendees had nothing but good things to say about he venue.” – Event Organiser, International Association.

  • “All of you appear to be experts in your field, were quick to answer any questions we had and helped us to keep on track. Michaela had everything handled. We never had to worry about our F&B or kosher meals. She is definitely one of the best! If our conference ever brings us back to Dublin, we would not hesitate to go back to The CCD. You and your team are exceptional. Thank you again for all that you did to ensure our conference was a success.” – Lauren Thomas, Events Manager, OWASP Foundation

  • We chose The CCD because it is the best venue for an event of our size. It is a beautiful modern space and has all the facilities that we need. We have been very impressed with the whole service at The CCD. The staff have been great and our every need has been catered for. The catering has been excellent and the flow through the building for all the different spaces we used has been really good. It has been easy to move around and easy to offer a very good delegate and exhibitor experience.
    Thea George, Director at Finextra Research, EBAday 2017.
