The Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) has announced that it will host three significant medical and scientific conferences over the next three years. They are the 28th International Nursing Research Congress in 2017, the 10th World Congress of Pain in 2018, and the Festival of Neuroscience in 2019.

Nick Waight, CEO of the CCD said that the three conferences were secured in conjunction with Dublin Convention Bureau (DCB) and will signify a massive boost for the local economy, collectively attracting over 5,000 delegates and generating revenue worth an estimated €6.5 million.

“We are absolutely thrilled these prestigious associations have chosen The CCD and Dublin as the destination for their high profile conferences. I think it is a testament to the work that we and our partners in the Irish business tourism industry have achieved in promoting Ireland as a centre of excellence and innovation, and as a place to come to do business,” he said.

The 28th International Nursing Research Congress is expected to welcome more than 900 delegates over five days in July 2017, while the 10th World Congress of Pain (May 2018) and the Festival of Neuroscience (April 2018) are expected to attract 2.500 and 1.500 delegates respectively.

The CCD is anticipating a strong year ahead in the medical and scientific sectors, with 15 large conferences booked for 2016.
