MIIN in Donegal

Join us for the first in-person MIIN event of the year - MIIN in Donegal! 📢🌊

An event of two parts, join us from 7pm on Thursday evening (27th June) in the Tara Hotel for some refreshments and networking opportunities.

Join us again in the Tara Hotel, Killybegs on Friday morning (28th June) where you will hear from local MIIN Members about their capabilities, before being treated to a tour of the wider Killybegs Harbour, visiting different MIIN member facilities, before wrapping up with a networking lunch.

Note: Spaces for the Friday Morning session and industry tour are limited.
Due to capacity constraints, tickets will be issued on a first-come-first-served basis. MIIN can only allow 1 person per company to attend the industry tour. If more than one person per company signs up to the tour, MIIN may be forced to move additional team members to a waiting list. Any remaining tickets will then be redistributed to our waiting list. MIIN reserves the right to refuse admission.
