The Summit is a unique, by invite only, think-tank styled event, exclusive to Ireland’s top CEOs, held under Chatham House Rules. Taking place in the luxurious surroundings of the K Club Estate, the Summit’s purpose is to bring together business leaders in an informal and supportive space to collectively tackle the pressing social, environmental and economic priorities for Ireland. Invited guest speakers include leading figures from business, government and political worlds. The event offers a unique opportunity for CEOs to network with each other and share insights on the key issues of the day.

2025 marks a pivotal year for both the new Government and businesses. With a Programme for Government (PFG) now agreed between Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and Independent TDs, firms face a dynamic landscape shaped by rising geopolitical uncertainty, the Trump administration’s "America-first" economic policies, and the EU’s drive for competitiveness.

This year’s Summit, themed ‘Global Shifts, Ireland’s Strategic Reset,’ will explore the opportunities and challenges in this evolving environment. It will feature in-depth discussions and offer first-hand insights into the political and economic landscape, equipping you to navigate what these developments could mean for your business.

The purpose of the Summit is to bring Ibec member CEOs together in an informal and supportive space to discuss concerns around social, environmental, and economic challenges and their impact on Irish business. The summit gives a space for considered leadership to deal with these themes and examine fully the business stake in all these dimensions.

Attendance at this event is to a selected group of CEOs only, which is non-transferable and subject to a booking fee which includes overnight accommodation.
