Want to nab one of five free tickets to Inspirefest? Read on to find out how you can join us at the best science and technology event of 2016.
Update, 5 January 2016, 10.13am: This competition is now closed for entries.
As most of you will know by now, Inspirefest is a unique international festival of science, technology and the arts that will run from 30 June to 2 July 2016.
Centred in Dublin’s vibrant digital docklands district, the core two-day conference is a unique exploration of pioneering thinking in leadership, science, technology, design, society and the arts.
In the evenings, you get to relax and network in the leafy surrounds of Merrion Square Park and catch some great music, spoken word, debate and much more at our legendary Inspirefest Fringe.
Who will be there?
A range of high-profile speakers are already making the journey to Dublin, including Robin Chase, founder of ZipCar, the world’s first car-sharing service and one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people; and Silicon Valley-based business guru Nilofer Merchant, recently described as the No 1 person most likely to influence the future of management.

We’ll also see the return of the great Kara Swisher of Re/code, as well as games giants Brenda and John Romero. Check out the full line-up at Inspirefest.com.
This, the second year of the festival, will again showcase diverse perspectives on STEM and the arts with workshops, presentations and panel discussions covering a range of themes from the age of the machine, to the challenges facing the sharing economy.
There’ll be super opportunities for networking and engagement with leading-edge thinkers and speakers – including a founders and investors session. If you’re intrigued by the future of science technology and society, you’ll want to be there.
