1 CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS HOUSE Let our Space Inspire you

2 Welcome Pat Costello Chief Executive Chartered Accountants Ireland. I m delighted to welcome you to Chartered Accountants House. With its city centre location, impressive capacity and cutting edge technology, I believe that it will quickly become the location of choice for all conferences, training away days and seminars in Dublin. The creation of a centre of excellence for our members and students was our number one priority when designing our new training centre and headquarters. In choosing the specifications for the new building, we looked beyond these shores and followed as our model the most exciting and innovative training facilities worldwide. This guided much of the decisions on facilities, services, office design and fit-out. We have achieved a building which recognises the values that we embrace as an organisation, especially our focus on creating an environment of excellence for our members, students and staff. The best way to appreciate the excellent facilities available here is to see them in person, and I would encourage anyone involved in booking conferences, seminars or meeting rooms to arrange a visit. Our Conferencing Team would be pleased to discuss your requirements with you. For more information on our facilities or to arrange a visit, please contact the Conferencing Team at conferencing@charteredaccountants.ie or visit our dedicated website The best way to appreciate these excellent facilities is to see them in person. 1

3 A Space Designed for Inspiration Chartered Accountants Ireland is the largest and the oldest accountancy body in Ireland, and with 24,000 members and students it is the leading voice for the accountancy profession in Ireland. Chartered Accountants Ireland has moved to its new, purpose built Training Centre and Headquarters at Pearse St, Dublin and is pleased to make these facilities available for hire to the wider business community. The vision for Chartered Accountants House was that of a Centre of Excellence that would reflect the gravitas and values of the organisation. Filled with light and character, the building itself inspires confidence and a sense of elevation, inkeeping with the profession s exacting standards of excellence. Cutting-edge architecture is combined with a focus on bright open spaces to inspire blue-sky thinking. All conference and meeting rooms are equipped with the latest technology and A/V facilities. Its sheer size and versatility means it can accommodate anything from small groups up to 1,300 people. A truly successful conference or meeting happens when a person leaves excited, invigorated and positive. This is our aim for every conference at Chartered Accountants House. When the conference or seminar is in a space that inspires while also looking after the audience s comforts, you can be sure that the results will be impressive. Chartered Accountants House was officially opened by President Mary McAleese in December Since the official opening it has won widespread critical acclaim from our members, students and the wider business community.
