Our Ethos

We are family run for three generations. That changes the feel of the place. We are not a chain and you are not a number. Unlike other venues, we have 400 locally based permanent staff and another 150 local people who join our dedicated team for big occasions. They are part of our success because they are part of what your delegates remember long after they leave us. Our reputation for friendliness is well-founded. Everyone you meet at the Killarney Convention Centre and in Kerry will offer you a smile and a warm welcome.
