Important Announcement Regarding Venue Change

Due to the enthusiastic response to the educational events, we have outgrown the three-star Regency Hotel Conference Centre and will meet instead at the brand new, four-star Crowne Plaza Dublin Blanchardstown. Since many participants were unable to reserve bedrooms at the Regency, we have moved to a better, bigger venue.
