The conference began with a drinks reception in the Ivory Bar on the Thursday but all of the presentations were on Friday in Ten Square Hotel, after which a gala dinner was held in Crumlin Road Gaol. Saturday saw a trip to the Titanic where the EYBA delegates were treated to a tour of the site and a presentation on shipping law before a drinks reception that night.
Brightwater's legal team Fionntan Gamble and Michael Minogue were there to listen to all the speakers. It was a great weekend and congratulations to Julie Ann McCaffrey, Chair of the NIYSA for hosting such an unforgettable conference.
