The Killarney Town Takeover
When the conference ends, Killarney becomes the venue.
📅 Sunday 24th January 2027
📍 Killarney Town Centre
🕡 From 6:30pm
Night one of Summit doesn’t happen at the Gleneagle Arena. It happens on Main Street.
We’ve taken over three of Killarney’s best-known pubs – J.M. Reidy’s, The Laurels, and The Grand – and for one night, they’re yours. Each pub is steeped in heritage, Reidy’s alone was a hardware shop, a bakery, and a flour merchant long before it poured its first pint.
Expect live traditional Irish music courtesy of The Breen Brothers and Flat to the Matt. Food and drinks flowing across all three venues and a couple of surprises we're not spoiling here.
Plus the bit Summit does better than anywhere: hundreds of salon, spa and clinic owners who have the same problems as you do, in rooms small enough that you actually get talking.
No taxi queues, no gambling on Irish weather. Complimentary coaches run all evening between the Gleneagle Arena and town. Hop on, and the night starts itself
The After Party
📅 Monday 25th January 2027
📍 Gleneagle Arena
The celebrations don’t end when the sessions do. After two days of inspiration and networking, it’s time to head back to the Gleneagle Arena for the ultimate Summit After Party. This is our chance to come together as a community and toast to the future of the industry.
Get ready to dance the night away with incredible live music that will keep the energy high until late. Enjoy a wide selection of drinks and celebrate all the hard work and accomplishments you’ve achieved this year in a high-octane atmosphere designed for you to let loose and have fun.
Best of all? The After Party is fully included in your Summit ticket, so all you need to bring is your energy. Let’s make it a night to remember!
