The meeting was held at The Savoy Hotel Limerick, one of Shannon Region Conference &
Sports Bureau members and was attended by all bureau stakeholders including Clare and
Limerick hotels, academic venues, local authorities, tourist attractions and Shannon Airport.

The meeting was opened by Tony Brazil, chairperson of the SRCSB. He spoke about the
success of 2018, where the bureau won over €7.5 million in business tourism events for the
wider Shannon region.

Karen Brosnahan said, “Today is our Annual Stakeholders Meeting, where ourselves and Fáilte
Ireland comes together to tell all the trade about work in business tourism in the Shannon Region,
what our plans are for 2019 and how we can all work together. Conference business is so
lucrative, and it’s a win-win for everybody. Every conference delegate that comes to our region is
worth €1,600 to the local economy, so we all need to work in partnership to give them a real
wow, memorable experience.”

Lynda Reilly, Fáilte Ireland, spoke about the financial and practical support on offer for
international conferences won for the Island of Ireland, in collaboration with the Shannon Region
Conference & Sports Bureau. She also updated the trade on joint Initiatives in place with
Shannon Region Conference & Sports Bureau to attract international conferences/ incentives and corporate meetings in 2019. These include collaboration on fams, site inspections, international
