Ideas for interesting places to hold corporate meeting

snowflame

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm looking for unusual/creative/fun spaces to host a corporate away day for 8 people in Dublin. I know for example that the Commissioner of Irish Lights in Dun Laoghaire have a beautiful room overlooking the port but its approx €400 which is a little too expensive. Any ideas very much appreciated

400 is too much for a coporate away day (God knows) for eight people?

Piss poor corporate.

chip in the 400 op

Liffey boardwalk. Would be free and you can view all the addicts and smell the piss up real close for team building exercises.

SEPT 23 1989

Finches. Neilstown would be unusual and fun

Tentative.

Let me get back after COP.

I made my division € 86,000 last week and you don't have € 400? why can't we just have it in the boardroom and have a nice meal later?

Just let your secretary organise it.

If 400 euro is too much for 8 people then I would be at a loss to make any better suggestions!

Its 50 quid a head!

What is the nature of the corporate away day? Do you need presentation facilities?

8 of you rattling around in CILs boardroom would be pretty boring after the first 15 minutes, its just a boardroom with a view.

Doubt they'd stretch for a secretary.

Try Airfield House, if your group is into nature and history.

The Zoo?

€400 too much :eek: That would barely cover lunch and beverages. Best find a quiet pub that does decent lunch and meet there

Well with your budget I suggest a shopping center.
Ye can have ye're meeting in the foodcourt.
Ye can have a Mcdonalds/KFC/etc.
Followed by a walk around the shops.
Followed by a trip to the cinema.

Lexicon library, Dun Laogharie. You can whatsapp the meeting.

ToddyDoody

Book the Tayto Park conference centre.

OP 8s it a (fancy) teambuilding day you are lòking for or somewhere to hire as an away training kind of day to have meetings & presentations? And whats the split m:f of the 8 : all guys, mostly girls or gay and girls or what? Location could vary depending on sex preferences - if you know what I mean!

You’re not going to get much for under €400 a day. The Aviva or Croke Park do meeting rooms, or you could check out the following (haven’t used them and have no affiliation!). https://www.zipcube.com/ie/s/meeting-rooms/Dublin--Ireland?allDay=false&lat=53.3498053&lon=-6.260309699999993&placeId=ChIJL6wn6oAOZ0gRoHExl6nHAAo&guests=8

It's a meeting being planned, not an orgy.

Get the participants to bring their own packed lunches, should save the company a few squids.

Hire a large tent and hike in Wicklow mountains for a day, food is sorted as per above recommendation

Looks like there might be a few cheap Day trips to England/Wales
