Why Become an Ambassador?

What is in it for you if you decide to invite an international conference to Ireland?

We asked our past Conference Ambassadors the same question. Here are some of the reasons they have come up with based on their own experiences:

• Hosting an international conference increased the profile and recognition of my university/organisation



• It enhanced the reputation of my area of expertise



• It earned me recognition from my professional colleagues both nationally and internationally



• International conferences offer excellent networking opportunities, which helped form research partnerships, helped secure future funding and establish worldwide links in the specialist field of the meeting



• Access to free and practical advice and support services made the experience much easier



• Knowing that I am contributing to the economy as well as bringing increased exposure to Ireland as both an area of academic/scientific excellence as well as a tourist destination.
