About This Event

The Social Enterprise Forums 2026 will take place on 17 September at Dunamaise Arts Centre in Portlaoise. The event aims to provide opportunities for attendees to connect and share knowledge within the social enterprise sector. Funding for this occasion is provided by the Department of Rural and Community Development.

The Social Enterprise Forums 2026 are your chance to connect, learn, and share with others working across the sector.

Funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht and delivered in partnership by The Wheel, LDCN (Local Development Companies Network), SERI (Social Enterprise Republic of Ireland), and ISEN (Irish Social Enterprise Network), the 2026 Social Enterprise Forums series will bring together social enterprises for a day of connection, shared learning, and practical discussion.

The forum will include opportunities to hear from peers across the sector, take part in interactive discussions, and explore key challenges and opportunities facing social enterprises today.

Whether you’re looking to exchange ideas, build partnerships, or gain fresh insights to support your work, this event offers a valuable space to connect.
