IPHA Annual Conference 2024 – Registration Open
The 28th IPHA Annual Conference will be held in Newcastle, Northern Ireland, from 23rd – 26th May, 2024.
The event will be hosted by Creagh Concrete and Combilift, both companies with their roots firmly anchored in Ireland.
Topic
This year’s conference will touch on ‘Leadership’, with a focus on the qualities that are instrumental in the continued success of the precast hollow core industry.
The 2024 conference is also an anniversary event aimed at celebrating 30 years of IPHA, our joined efforts advancing the continued improvement of our industry, providing a platform for industry professionals from across the globe to come together and exchange their ideas, knowledge, and best practices for bringing the industry forward.
Itinerary for Delegates
The conference takes place at Slieve Donard. Steeped in history, Slieve Donard was built in 1898 and continues to offer a magnificent yet welcoming retreat for guests to start their Irish adventure – and in this case to become the venue for our Irish Gathering 2024.
The delegate itinerary includes factory tours of both host companies, and a fantastic program of keynote speakers on various topics.
The program also includes:
- Welcome dinner on Thursday evening
- Host’s dinner on Friday evening
- IPHA General Assembly & Terry Treanor award
- IPHA annual dinner on Saturday evening
The partner’s two day program also includes an open top bus tour of Belfast, a walking tour of Tollymore Forest, and Afternoon Tea.
