The event will take place on Thursday, 29th June 10am – 4pm at the Ormond Meeting Room, located at Ormond Quay Upper, Dublin 7, and is tailored for Landscape Architects, Planners, and Developers with a keen interest in play design.

The day promises to be illuminating and inspiring, with a diverse range of speakers hailing from various sectors and backgrounds. Topics of discussion will include play strategy, risk management within play, inclusivity, green infrastructure, consultation, and play theory. Our speakers will include Laurence Colleran from South Dublin City Council, Joanne Coghlan from Studio Aula, Neil Bolton who is the Head of Housing at Respond Housing, Alick Ford who is the Head Teacher at Castle Tower School, Harry Harbottle from CATE Consulting, and Beth Cooper, a Creative Play Consultant from Timberplay.
