RDS
RDS Irish International Convention and Exhibition Centre is Ireland's premier venue for meetings, conferences, exhibitions, trade and public shows, entertainment and sporting events. Located in the very heart of Dublin, no other exhibition venue offers such proximity to Ireland's capital city. The RDS can be as versatile and flexible as you require.
There are over 20,000 square metres of space from conference and exhibition space to meeting and private dining rooms. We can provide clear-span space or stunning neo-georgian rooms filled with art and sculpture treasures. Parking is available on site for up to 2,000 vehicles. The nearby suburban train line (DART) plus the main bus routes on the doorstep offer excellent public access.
The RDS events team has extensive experience and strong relationships with Ireland's top event suppliers. Excellent catering facilities are at your disposal - whether you have 10 guests or 5,000. Our catering partner, Hospitality Options can provide everything from hot chips to silver service.
The Royal Dublin Society was founded in 1731 to promote and develop agriculture, arts, industry, and science in Ireland.
The Society organises many awards, shows, recitals, concerts, competitions, seminars and lectures annually to promote these activities.
We also organise the Irish Forestry Awards, the Student Art Awards, the RDS Industry Gold Medal, the RDS National Crafts Competition, and the Boyle Medal for excellence in science. In keeping with the aims of the Society, the promotion of these foundation activities is still of vital importance to the organisation.
