Aesthetics Events in Ireland

For aesthetics practitioners in Ireland, the year has a clear focal point: a spring weekend in Dublin where clinical education, trade buying and industry celebration all happen within a few minutes of each other.

Aesthetic Medicine Dublin is the specialist event, a conference and trade show at the RDS for practitioners working in medical aesthetics and skin. It runs on the same April weekend as Professional Beauty Ireland, which also covers aesthetics within its wider show, so you can move between clinical sessions and a broader trade floor. That evening, aesthetics is among the categories at the PBHJ Beauty, Hair and Spa Awards at the InterContinental Dublin. Earlier in the year, the Phorest Summit in Killarney brings clinic and salon owners together for business conferences each January.

All aesthetics events in Ireland are listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your clinical learning for the year ahead.

Getting around

The RDS in Ballsbridge is the hub for the April events, with the Sandymount and Lansdowne Road DART stations a short walk away and the InterContinental Dublin right next door. From Dublin Airport, Aircoach or a taxi will take you to Ballsbridge. For the January summit in Killarney, take the train from Dublin Heuston or fly into Kerry Airport.

Where to stay

Staying in Ballsbridge makes it easy to step between the conference, the trade show and the awards. The InterContinental is the obvious choice if you are attending the awards evening. In Killarney, the Gleneagle Hotel hosts the summit, so a room on site saves travel.
