Dublin Roadshow Programme and Floor Layout

All the information you require on Springboard will be there, in one place, including:

  • Information on free, part-time courses from Springboard higher education providers, with staff on hand to tell you more;
  • A workshop on the skills needed for business and enterprise from Gavin Duffy, entrepreneur and a member of Ireland’s Dragon’s Den;
  • Talks from industry representatives about the career opportunities available in ICT, Biopharma-Pharmachem, Medical Devices, Food and Beverage, Green Economy, and International Financial Services;
  • A special session on studying in higher education today.

If you are unemployed with a previous history of employment or self-employment and wish to re-train for a new job, the Springboard Roadshow in Dublin is an important event for you.
Admission is FREE to the public.

Pre-registration is now closed. You can still attend the Springboard roadshow even if you have not pre-registered - simply register when you arrive at the Convention Centre.

Getting to the Convention Centre by rail, tram, bus, taxi or car.

The Convention Centre is less than ten minutes from Dublin’s Hueston and Connolly Stations. The Luas Red Line (tram) runs directly behind The CCD. The DART is also accessible nearby. The CCD is also well served by bus and taxi services.

The Convention Centre is easily accessible by road. It is only minutes from the Dublin Port Tunnel, with connections to the upgraded M50 motorway and Dublin Airport. It is also next to the new Samuel Beckett Bridge which spans the River Liffey, aiding access between the North and South of the city. The CCD has its own public underground car park (limited charge applies per hour).
