In the shadow of the Hill of Uisneach in the heart of Ireland, where East meets West and the River Shannon meets Lough Ree, lies Ireland’s great assembly… an ancient meeting place and a beacon of myth, learning and legacy. With easy access from three international airports, excellent road and rail connectivity and easy access from almost anywhere, here’s the place to gather, connect and do more business.

Watersports, fishing, trekking, biking, art, golf and shopping..here you have it all. Thrill seekers, culture vultures, nature lovers, eco warriors, within an easy  drive you’ll find things to do for every fitness and taste. From easy bike rides, to adrenaline fuelled zipwiring through treetops and from gallery tours to whiskey tasting, when you meet here, you’re at the heart of it all.

Athlone and the surrounding region isn’t just easy to get to, it’s easy to get around when you’re here too. Add to that the comfort that comes with stylish  hotels, international hotel brands and event venues, all with excellent connectivity… and you’re all set for a really successful event.

As well as easy access, you’ll discover that Athlone and the surrounding region offers great value too. Accommodation rates, efficient transport services, audio-visual expertise and excellent dining options, all cost a lot less here than Dublin and other major centres. Plus, you’ll find a team here that are plugged in to all Fáilte Ireland and other financial supports that are available too.

There has been a welcome here for guests since prehistoric times and that welcome is still why many multinational businesses call the region home. The towns of Athlone, Mullingar, Roscommon and Tullamore form a significant urban centre and everywhere, you’ll discover a level of service that’s second to none.
