Our ICLRD conferences and technical workshop are designed to be of interest to a diverse audience – namely policy-makers, regional and cross-border agencies, planners, local government officials, private sector representatives, elected officials, community development agencies, and academics. Our events are recognised for their thought provoking speakers and the opportunity for discussion, debate and networking around the key issues of strategic spatial planning and local development both on the island of Ireland and elsewhere.
ICLRD also jointly sponsors and organises conferences with other organisations.
Slides and audio files of the presentations given at each conference are available for download:
