MAGFEST Ireland is a new and exciting event for all those interested in the Irish magazine media business. It’s a unique conference and festival experience to celebrate all-things-magazine, an event where the world of Irish magazine media comes together to explore, advance, and celebrate what we have done, what we are doing, and, most importantly, what we do next.
MAGFEST Ireland is a very special celebration of Irish magazine publishing with memorable keynote speakers and vibrant discussions; an unparalleled opportunity to hear from and meet the people who really make magazine media so special.
Collaboration and networking is really important to the event so we started with a MAGFEST Ireland lunch at 1pm; the business session finished up around 5pm with MAGFEST Ireland Cocktails where attendees had a chance to catch the speakers for those unanswered questions and meet up with colleagues in other magazine media companies.
We started with the MAGFEST Lunch at 1pm; the MAGFEST Business Sessions were at 2pm; and we finished with a MAGFEST Cocktail Session from 5pm onwards.
1 BE INSPIRED
MagFest Ireland brings together some of the most inspiring minds in media and magazine publishing. They’re literally there just to inspire you - no other agenda. Their talks are designed to show you their passion, what has made their businesses successful and prompt you to think differently about how you approach your business.
2 EMPOWER YOUR TEAM
MagFest Ireland is a brilliant opportunity for you and your team to work together to improve your business. MAGFEST Ireland will have something for everyone involved in your business.
3 MEET OTHER PUBLISHERS
MagFest Ireland is an ideal opportunity to meet other publishing professionals and enthusiasts. The people you meet will be able to offer you advice from their own experience, could be potential collaborators on projects, might be on the lookout to buy or sell a magazine, or might be able to connect you with someone who could help you with a problem.

With the day-to-day running of a business, do you ever feel like you don’t have any time to reflect or think of how to improve? MagFest Ireland is the perfect antidote as the best way to work on your business, rather than in your business.
