TRAINING

IAIA training courses will be held 22-23 April 2024 at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD). Separate registration fees apply, and pre-registration is required.

Not able to attend IAIA24 but still want to take a course? Not a problem! A small additional registration fee will apply; see the PDF registration form for details.

Please register early! Courses will be cancelled if they do not reach the minimum number of paid participants by 5 March 2024. After 5 March, registrations will be accepted subject to availability and receipt of payment up until the 1 April 2024 final registration deadline. In consideration of the trainers and their need to prepare appropriate quantities of course materials, registrants may not change courses after 1 April 2024.

We are offering a variety or opportunities, such as registration bursaries and discounts, for young professionals and student participants of IAIA24. More details to come.
