Hamilton Conference Centre

A hidden gem at the east end of campus

For lecture theatre hire and academic conferences in Dublin, the Hamilton Conference Centre is one of Trinity’s best-kept secrets, a bright, modern venue just a short walk from Pearse Station.

A little history

The centre is named in honour of Sir William Rowan Hamilton, Ireland’s greatest mathematician, who famously carved his breakthrough formula into Broome Bridge in 1843.
