Céifin Conferences

Céifin evolved from our first Conference held in Ennis in 1998.  The need for Céifin was identified in response to the radical transformation Ireland has experienced over the past number of decades.  The title of this first conference was “Are We Forgetting Something?”  The aim of this first and each subsequent conference is to stimulate debate on issues that are seen as being fundamental to the stability and integrity of Irish society.   

 The conferences have continued to draw large numbers of participants, including many leaders in the fields of Business, Education, and Community.

On this website there is an archive of our conferences since 1998. Information about past conferences are available at the links below. The conference publications are available for purchase from the site on the publications page.
