"From day one there was no issue with The CCD being the best venue for our event. The location is fantastic, the building itself is state-of-the-art, we’ve wanted for nothing and the technology is brilliant."
"Dublin is an incubator city for start-ups and a home of innovation, and The CCD is a fantastic facility. Our congress requires a variety of different sized spaces and to cater to different numbers, and The CCD has been extraordinarily flexible and adaptable."
“Dublin is the tech hub of Ireland which was a big draw for HADOOP Summit. The location, the size of the venue, and the great customer service that we’ve received is what brought HADOOP Summit to The CCD."
"The CCD is one of the best venues we’ve worked with. Everyone’s out to help us and do what they can to make our conference run smoothly. The CCD makes our lives easier."
"We chose The CCD as our venue because of the ‘wow’ factor and the infrastructure. The CCD proved to be a great venue for our event. The break out rooms had all the facilities built-in which made it a great experience for our attendees."
