Doors open at 10am each day at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. This incredible space was designed by Daniel Libeskind - with nary a straight wall to be seen and has been a source of inspiration for many years for OFFSET. Need help on how to get there? Click for more details.
The Main Stage opens at 11am each day and will host 30+ speakers over the weekend including the return of the popular OFFSHOOTS. While each of our speakers can present their work as a potted career overview, it will always have a particular focus on process, explaining their vision or philosophy…essentially whatever makes them tick. The programme will to be announced in February.
YELLOW STAGE
The Yellow Stage is a more intimate setting for one on one interviews, panel discussions and debates, join us for an opportunity to dig a bit deeper, explore a bit further and get that little bit closer to our stellar line-up of speakers. The full programme is to be announced in March.
