In 2009 over 2,500 Google delegates from around the world convened at the Killarney Convention Centre for their annual sale conference. Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s personal gulfstream jet was just one of six chartered aircraft to land in Kerry Airport for the two-day conference.

The delegates also attended a gala Banquet in the INEC on the second night, this was the largest banquet ever held in Killarney.
