Conference Ambassador Recognition Awards

Tender description

The inaugural Conference Ambassador Recruit and Recognition Awards (CARA) took place in January 2016. At this event 79 previous conference ambassadors were recognised and awarded for delivering conferences of 300+ international delegates for Dublin. A further 25 prospective ambassadors were recruited on the evening with the potential to deliver €10m+ in revenue for the economy. Fáilte Ireland are now in the process of planning the second Conference Ambassador Recruit & Recognition Awards 2018 where we will not only recognise and recruit ambassadors for Dublin but will extend to ambassadors who have hosted or the potential to host conferences of scale for Regional Ireland. The CARA Event is a recruit and reward ceremony due to take place in Q4, 2018 in Dublin. Our preferred date is Friday, 23rd November 2018, however other dates will be considered. The event will also be used to identify and motivate ambassadors to create new ‘Home Grown’ events, which may fall outside of the typical ambassador profile (academic, medical, scientific) toward a more Corporate Ambassador, who may be able to deliver scalable, multi-year events, such as TechSummit, InspireFest etc. Fáilte Ireland are now seeking the services of a DMC/PCO to coordinate and manage all elements of the event including theme, pre event logistics, the Awards ceremony, entertainment, MC and venue/catering management, and to generally create a wow effect Fáilte Ireland will manage the ambassador recruitment and invitation process.
