In this year of The Gathering, this discussion will focus on creativity and the Diaspora.
The power of the Diaspora is irrefutable. With creativity lauded as being at the core of the Irish psyche, can networks based on ideas, and bound by family and heritage, transcend geography to help shape Ireland's future? Can a collaboration of creative talents build a new narrative fro Ireland?
Panellists Include:
Tim O'Connor, Chairman of The Gathering and former Irish Consul General NY.
Aidan Connolly, Executive Director, Irish Arts Centre, New York
Jonathan Cloonan, Head of Digital Strategy Worldwide for Oglivy and Mather
Chair: Prof Kevin Whelan, University of Notre Dame.
