500+ people. Three panels. Four keynote speakers.
And a room full of ideas, connections, and honest conversations about what AI actually means for businesses in this region.

Weโ€™re incredibly proud of how the day came together and grateful to the people who made it happen. Over the coming days weโ€™ll be sharing our thank-yous properly. But for now, if you were in the room on Thursday the 26th of February, thank you for being there.

The response and social media traction since the event has been incredible, and weโ€™re hugely appreciative of everyone who contributed in the weeks leading up to the summit and on the day itself.

A huge thank you to the speakers, partners, sponsors, volunteers, and contributors who helped make the day possible alongside organisations including Limerick City and County Council, Dell Technologies, LEO Limerick, Innovate Limerick, WrxFlo, PAQ IT, Treaty Software Ireland, and WebDevBuilders Ltd, as well as our charity partners Limerick Mental Health Association and GOSHH Ireland.

We were honoured to welcome Minister Frankie Feighan T.D., John Moran, Mayor of Limerick, and representatives from across industry, government, startups, and the wider business community.

A huge thank you to our keynote speakers, panelists, exhibitors, and attendees who made the day so engaging and insightful. The discussions around practical AI applications, scaling innovation, and supporting SMEs sparked exactly the kind of conversations we hoped to see.
