Croke Park in Dublin has been named C&IT’s sporting Stadia of 2016. The 82,300 seat stadium completed a major renovation of its meeting and events space at the end of 2015 and has impressed organisers and delegates with its new look.

The Hogan Suite (their flagship event space) can seat up to 750 guests in a number of layouts and was also voted one of the most flexible event spaces. While the meeting and events space is impressive, one of the venues highlights is its roof’s walkway – spanning the whole of the stadium and offers views of Dublin that are unmatched anywhere else in the city. The venue can offer this roof top tour on top of the day delegate rate for small groups, but would be perfect for CEOs or VIPS of the group.
