Our History
The Education Show has long been a landmark event in Ireland’s academic landscape. Originally launched in the 1990s, it was passionately organised by Conor O’Brien, who played a key role in shaping it into a must-attend event for educators and suppliers alike. Held annually at the RDS through the early 2000s, the show brought together all corners of the education sector, laying the foundation for its legacy as Ireland’s leading education exhibition.
Over the years, the event attracted prominent exhibitors such as Apple Computers, Microsoft, Siemens, Eircom, Sanyo, Brother, European Commission, National Museum of Ireland, Harper Collins, Crayola, Pentel and BIC all showcasing innovative educational technologies and resources.
