The Global Summit Venues
Set in the heart of Dublin, Ireland, the Summit’s venues perfectly encapsulate the city’s vibrant juxtaposition of old and new, tradition and innovation.
Blackhall Place and the Honourable Society of King’s Inns offer historic settings steeped in academic tradition, embodying a legacy of scholarship and history. The Church, with its 320 years of heritage, has been thoughtfully refurbished and reinterpreted, making it the ideal venue for your first night in Dublin. In contrast, the modern Lighthouse Cinema and the contemporary yet authentically Irish Teeling Whiskey Distillery provide a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere that captures the innovative spirit of the city.
This blend of venues allows our participants to experience Dublin’s unique character, where centuries-old architecture and modern design coexist, embodying the very essence of the Summit: a celebration of academic excellence that honours the past while looking boldly to the future.
