Amplify 2026

The most recent edition, Amplify Innovation Summit 2026, took place on Thursday 18 June 2026 at Lyrath Estate, Kilkenny — a full day of keynotes, interactive workshops and parallel sessions, open to members and non-members, preceded on 17 June by the members' evening gathering at the venue. It sat in a year that also brought Ireland's Innovation Index 2026 (launched 27 May) and IRDG's Pre-Budget Submission for Budget 2027 (8 June); the 2026 record lists the rest of the year's activity month by month.

The speaker line-up and session outcomes from the 2026 edition will be added here once the team has confirmed them. The programme, speakers and booking for each edition are published on the events platform when it is scheduled.
