Central Banking Series: Dublin

The Global Interdependence Center (GIC) held its first program in Dublin in 2007 and is proud to return to the city as the Irish Republic celebrates its centenary in 2016. This Central Banking Series event will be held in partnership with the Central Bank of Ireland and the Irish American Business Chamber and Network, and will feature Sharon Donnery, Deputy Governor – Central Banking, Central Bank of Ireland, and Patrick T. Harker, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. The series will continue in Madrid the following week.

We are pleased to offer a discounted registration rate for GIC and IABCN members. Attendees in both Dublin and Madrid will also receive a discounted rate.

A private roundtable session exclusively for GIC members will be held on the day following the public conference at the ballroom at the historic Iveagh House, headquarters of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
