Bright Nights, Big City – The Future of Culture, Music and the Night-Time Economy
22 September @ 09:00 – 17:00
Bright Nights, Big City takes place at the National Concert Hall, Dublin, on Tuesday 22 September 2026.
Organised by AIM Ireland in partnership with Dublin City Council’s Night-Time Economy Office, this new one-day conference will bring together Irish and international leaders from culture, music, hospitality, tourism, government and city development.
The event will explore how cities can build vibrant, welcoming, safe and sustainable night-time economies for residents, workers and visitors.
Discussions will examine the wider network that supports successful cities after dark, including grassroots music and culture, changing consumer behaviour, hospitality, tourism, transport, public safety and the use of public spaces.
International case studies will sit alongside Irish perspectives, with a focus on collaboration, innovation and practical solutions.
Spaces are limited, so early booking is advised.
