On September 12, Silicon Republic hosts the sixth Digital Ireland Forum. Every year the Digital Ireland Forum addresses the macro issues that are trending in our community, and being discussed by governments and industry worldwide. It has become a must-attend for leaders in the technology and digital business sphere, as well as policy makers and stakeholders in Ireland's digital economy.

The Forum is designed to share the thoughts of Ireland’s leaders in this sphere with a global and local audience. Each year, the Digital Ireland Forum and Silicon Republic's influential network combine to place the issues that matter most on the news and economic agenda for the year ahead.

“A great event, with just the right mix of vision, can-do, energy and awesome digital prophesy”

Bill McCluggage, Former CTO, Irish Government, on Twitter

“I must congratulate Silicon Republic for organising these influential occasions. It is so important for people who are leading in this area to come together to help inform policy and shape the direction of thinking throughout the system.”

Minister Richard Bruton, speaking at Digital Ireland Forum

Keynotes include Co-founder and CTO of Eventbrite, Renaud Visage, and we are delighted to say that this year's event will be opened by the newly appointed Minister for Communications, Energy & Natural Resources, Alex White TD.  International keynotes who offer a global view, while local experts and leaders will take part in mediated panel discussions, and invited delegates will participate in question-and-answer sessions, in order to encourage a lively and thoughtful discussion on Ireland's digital economy.
