We are delighted to share that the Graphic Medicine International Conference 2024, hosted at the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) in July, has received a Fáilte Ireland Conference Ambassador Recognition Award.
This award celebrates conferences that made a significant impact by bringing international delegates to Ireland in 2023 and 2024. The recognition highlights the commitment and leadership of those who championed Ireland as a destination for global events.
On behalf of the conference committee and TUS, Dr. Seán Lyons proudly accepted the award—a stunning Copperfish Design lamp—at the ceremony held at the Royal Dublin Society (RDS), Dublin, on 27 November 2025.
Fáilte Ireland has honoured the outstanding contributions of 109 sector leaders at the biennial Conference Ambassador Recognition Awards held at The Royal Dublin Society. These leading academics and industry experts, known as conference ambassadors, were celebrated for hosting international conferences in Ireland between 2023 and 2024, and collectively generating almost €117 million for the Irish economy.
We are honoured to have contributed to Ireland’s reputation as a hub for international collaboration and innovation. Thank you to everyone who helped make this achievement possible!
