The European Sponsorship Association will bring its flagship annual Irish event to the Guinness Storehouse on Thursday, June 10th, 2027.

It will bring together an afternoon focused on the issues shaping sponsorship across Europe.

The ESA Ireland Event has become an established fixture in the calendar for agencies, rights holders, brands, and other businesses working across the sponsorship industry, combining discussion of emerging trends with an opportunity to connect with colleagues from Ireland and the wider European market.

Guinness remains one of Ireland’s most internationally recognised brands and has a long history of using sport, culture and entertainment as part of its broader brand storytelling. Bringing the event to the Guinness Storehouse is a neat fit.

ESA will announce the full speaker line-up and final agenda closer to the event.

While the content will be important, networking has traditionally been an equally strong part of ESA’s Dublin gathering, creating a relatively rare opportunity for members of the Irish sponsorship community to meet counterparts working across different European markets.

The event is in person and free to ESA members. Tickets are priced at €75 plus VAT for ESA Associates and €100 plus VAT for non-members.
