AVEA Annual Conference attended by over 200 delegates

The Falls Hotel in Ennistymon played host to AVEA’s 2023 conference. The carbon-neutral hotel was a superb setting for a conference themed on a future sustainable tourism.

AVEA loves to embrace the unique tourism heritage of our conference destinations, and this year’s event celebrated Clare’s folklore and music tradition, as well as its stunning landscapes with visits to Caherconnell Stone Fort and Sheepdog Experience and the Cliffs of Moher.

Guests spoke of the importance of place; the uniquely creative and intelligent input of people in a time of AI; the relevance of collaboration and dialogue; how Google is transforming the way we plan our holidays; the transformative impact of digitisation; reaching Deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences; and much more.

A truly engaging couple of days with fantastic feedback from all the delegates. Thanks to all our sponsors, speakers, supporters, entertainers, hosts, and friends for embracing the opportunity to listen and teach.
