The complimentary social programme included welcome drinks in the Radisson Bar on the evening before the conference, allowing participants to relax their journey and network with fellow conference delegates.
After the first day, we co-ordinated a Guided Tour and Comparative Whiskey Tasting at the nearby Jameson Distillery, Midleton, where attendees got to compare three leading whiskeys of the world and enjoy a Jameson Signature drink at the end of the tour.
