I am excited for our team in CPI to learn more about the Centre and to explore the opportunities for inclusion that we can help create. One of our core beliefs is in the power of growth through human experience. We have lived that for 26 years, and we are excited to take a fresh look at what that growth through human experience could look like, alongside TCPID.”

Speaking about this conference and about the new partnership, Marie Devitt, said: "We are so excited about this new partnership with Conference Partners International. This is an incredible opportunity for us to develop placement and internship avenues for our students and graduates within the business events sector. It was a huge honour for me to be invited to speak at the recent AIPCO conference in Galway. Thank you to Nicky McGrane and Conor Meany for asking me to be a part of this amazing conference. I was truly inspired by all the incredible speakers on the day. I am looking forward to working closely with Nicky, Conor and the entire CPI team over the coming years to build a very strong partnership. Our goal is to work together with all our partners to always focus on Ability and to help to create a more inclusive society and a sense of belonging for everyone."
