About this Event

F oróige's National Volunteer Conference

The Radisson Blu Hotel in Athlone is the location for our National Foróige Volunteer Conference 2025. Foróige's Annual Conference is a wonderful opportunity for Foróige volunteers such as mentors, club leaders, project volunteers, NFTE, board members and others to come together as one Foróige volunteer community. The conference facilitates the exchange of ideas and learning through interactive discussions, inspiring guest speakers and the many wonderful conversations you will have. Enjoy and then go home refreshed, motivated and with Foróige friendships made or renewed.

We have some great sessions planned around the conference theme of Foróige - Space to learn, play and be you.

There will be lots of moving, mixing and mingling!
Meet and hear from the new CEO of Foróige and the new Chairperson of the National Council
Hear stories of some volunteers and clubs achieving significant milestones
Hear the results of the National Survey of Volunteers
Hear the breath of Foróige’s work in the past year from the chairperson of the board
Relax and chat with volunteers from all over the country
Meet old and new friends and feel the warm embrace of your Foróige family.

The cost of attending is far below the actual cost as it is subsidised significantly by Foróige.
