SUMMARY:Ireland Week May 5th - 14th
DESCRIPTION:About IrelandWeek\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaving originally been pencilled in for a regular scheduling post of November 2021\, pandemic uncertainty and questions around U.S. travel restrictions meant the organisers pushed the series of Arts\, Cultural and Business mixers back to May 2022. The series of events will run from 11th May – 23rd May across various venues in Los Angeles. \nIrelandWeek live from Los Angeles aims to continue to showcase where Ireland excels\, in the fields of Entertainment\, Arts\, Culture\, Tourism\, Tech\, Food\, Fashion & Business. New challenges\, new ways of communicating and new ambitions have transformed our approach to IrelandWeek\, now planning its fourth iteration. \nMany of IrelandWeek’s firm favourite events will return such as the Music From Ireland Showcase\, The Irish Theatre readings and much much more\, as well as announcing a new anchor event\, “The Ireland Connects Networking showcase” an entertainment b2b event where Irish and U.S. leaders from Entertainment\, Tech\, Arts\, Business and Culture will connect and do business. \nOnce again\, this year will see dozens of events happening across Los Angeles\, covering Live music\, Theatre\, Visual Art\, Film and TV\, Sport\, and Animation as well a many other areas of interest not just to the Irish diaspora here in Los Angeles\, but to those keen on doing business in these fields in Ireland.
