We're delighted to be exhibiting for the second year running at Ireland's largest outdoor event, taking place in Screggan, Tullamore, Co. Offaly from 15–17 September 2026.

You'll find us once again in the Education & Business Hub, but this year we're going even bigger with an expanded exhibition stand, building on the fantastic success of last year's event.
