We looked at the subject of ‘Sustainability in the Theatre‘. Many important issues were addressed in a programme of panel discussions and presentations. 42 Irish Companies from Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Leitrim, Meath and Westmeath met with 47 Presenters from across Ireland and the world. 763 meetings took place. The event proved very successful for both the Irish participants and the international guests.
