Starting Monday 11th April, EventBrite are putting on a exhibition of photography aimed at highlighting the public events in Irish history since the formation of the state.

The aim is to shine a spotlight on the important role free public events play both in Irish culture and identity and how it brings communities together. They have dug deep into archives at The Irish Times and Irish Photo Archive to pull out some gems from events like JFK’s visit in Galway, gay marriage referendum at Dublin Castle, Sitric Picnic in Stoneybatter and sporting events like Rais Tailteann from back in 1975.

A lot of these free public events live and die on sponsorship, so EventBrite have teams up with Banter to put on a panel of organisers of free event to tackle the topic of “How To Get Sponsorship + How To Keep It”.

The panel will take place in The Teeling Whiskey Distillery in New Market, Dublin 8 on April 13th at 6pm.  You will get a panel of seasoned event experts will give insights into how organisers of free public events can win and keep vital sponsorship. The best part is you can attend this event… FREE, sure it’s only fitting.

Colin Hart, the founder & creative director of The Public House will provide the sponsor’s point of view, while Sam Bishop, the manager of Happenings and founder of Street Feast + Granby Park and Aine O’Mahony, a marketing and event management consultant who supported events like The Galway Oyster Festival, Volvo Ocean Race and Dublin’s St. Patricks’s Festival will lend their experience from the organiser’s perspective.

Free pre-registration is strongly advised, as space is limited. You can book tickets to the exhibition itself if the date+time of the panel doesn’t suit you and you can book a ticket for the panel separately. Every registered attendee will be entered into a draw to win one of the exhibited images.
