Plug into the West
Join us for a celebratory evening to connect with the energy, ambition and creativity of the West and Northwest of Ireland.
We’re gathering Londoners with ties to the region to reconnect with home and explore ways to get involved, whether that’s returning, investing, working remotely, or meeting the people leading change locally.
You’ll hear directly from entrepreneurs and regional organisations building and scaling businesses across the region, sharing a real view of opportunities, challenges, and growth across tech, creative industries, and startups.
Enjoy refreshments, plenty of time to network, and a chance to experience the London Irish Centre’s famous trad music night to finish the evening.
