We can’t wait to begin work on the 2012/13 festival !

Special mention goes to our very generous sponsors : Failté Ireland, Dublin City Council, Dublin City BID, 98FM and The Star.

The impressive lineup included the likes of :

• Paul Brady
• Damien Dempsey
• Bressie
• Riverdance

For only a tenner this was great value for money. MC’ed by the beautifulMichele McGrath and with a visit from the much loved Sam Maguireover 10 000 attendees were entertained throughout the night.

As a national treasure , Riverdance are using this Dublin celebration to dance their way to a Guinness World Record . With over 700 dancers required to break the current record we will be recruiting dancers from all of over Dublin to make this a year for the books, literally!

Amazing lighting and pyrotechnics did highlight and animate the entertainment throughout the night. Climaxing with an electrifying display to match the excitement in the crowds audiences saw the New Year in with a smile on their faces.

Divided into six routes , based on venues locale, this innovative and educational event is designed for ease of access. Attendees are invited to explore Irelands best galleries, museums, historical monuments and institutes ( to mention but a few ) effortlessly .

Statues are normally created to celebrate the rich, successful and famous whilst these highlight a completely different daily figure. The plight of the unfortunate and all too familiar homeless is brought to life through these touching and realistic scluptures.

The Ending Homelessness Exhibition challenges people to think again about the nature of homelessness by presenting images of some people who are homeless through a series of striking sculptures.

Focus Ireland continue to ensure that the issue of homelessness is always at the forefront of social and political agenda.

Davis Events managed the liaison with all local and international stakeholders, safe management of all statues, appropriate placement and maintenance throughout their three week stay.

We took top prize for :

Best Use of Technology for Claiming our Future

A revolutionary independent initiative getting the public involved in decisions affecting the future growth in Dublin. We made use of 360 degree screens utilised in a circular conference environment to ensure all attendees were equally involved in the days events. Via customized technology we  chose to use the De Borda voting system to guarantee all votes were independent and all outcomes were democratic. As this was a global point of interest our technicians set-up live streams to internet viewers and TV channels, on-site social media experts ensured all categories and outcomes were publicized in real time. Due to the importance of transparency , film footage of all events was paramount, via the use of 8 cameras surrounding the stage to film attendees, 4 roaming cameras and crew filming all individuals involved in the process and the entire process itself our clients and the international affiliates were extremely happy with the levels of transparency achieved.

This conference will be taking place in Galway on May 28th. Please go to ClaimingOur Future to book.

This event will focus on gender inequalities, the growing divide between rich and poor and tax injustices to mention but a few topics.

In conjunction with The Temple Bar Cultural Trust , Davis Events successfully managed this day-long celebratory programme of free events on Wednesday 13^th April.
