About the event
Making Great Working Places in Dublin is part of Innovation Dublin 2012, which takes place across Dublin from October 15th to 26th. The festival demonstrates Dublin's capacity to inspire, interact and innovate.
How can Dublin create competitive working places which can attract and sustain innovative enterprises? How can commercial developments give more to the city give more to the city in terms of social and environmental sustainability? How do cities accommodate the range of businesses which make up a healthy business ecology from large floor-plate investors to smaller scale start ups?
Speakers at this event will address these and other questions from the point of view of end-users, the market, design, planning and the urban landscape and environment.
