Sustainability In Action Networking Events
Connecting Ireland’s Tourism Businesses To Inspire Real, Practical Sustainability Action
The Sustainability in Action Networking Events are regional in‑person gatherings designed to bring together tourism businesses, destination partners, and community leaders who are committed to building a more sustainable and regenerative tourism industry.
Hosted by the Sustainable Tourism Network, these events create a welcoming space for learning, connection, and peer‑to‑peer inspiration. Whether you’re taking your first steps on your sustainability journey or looking to deepen your impact, these events help you discover what’s possible – and how to get there.

Each event blends practical insights with meaningful networking, ensuring attendees leave with clear actions and new connections that support their sustainability goals.
Typical elements include:
- Network updates and expert insights from the Sustainable Tourism Network team, sharing the latest developments, supports and opportunities available to businesses.
- A panel conversation featuring inspiring local speakers who share real stories, challenges and solutions from their own sustainability journeys.
- Open networking time to connect with like‑minded businesses, exchange ideas, and build collaborations that strengthen local and regional sustainable tourism efforts.
- Optional site experiences, such as venue tours showcasing real sustainability practices in action – highlighting how Irish tourism organisations are putting environmental and community responsibility into practice.

These events are designed to empower tourism businesses to make meaningful progress by:
- Hearing from peers who are already taking action
- Learning about supports, training, and certification pathways
- Building connections that spark collaboration
- Seeing sustainability in action in real tourism settings

Our Vision
Sustainable tourism thrives when businesses learn from each other, share challenges openly, and work collectively. The Sustainability in Action Networking Events embody this spirit by nurturing a community rooted in collaboration, inspiration and practical progress.
Have a feel of what our sustainability networking events are all about and have a look at our most recent event in Wicklow below and some of the takeaways that came from it.
This was one of the most useful and enjoyable sustainability events I’ve attended in some time. It was informative, inspirational and great for networking. I look forward to collaborating with some of the contacts I made on the day. Discussions are already underway!
