Following successful editions in 2023 and 2024, Ireland’s creative community will gather at Dublin's Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin this November for the annual Culture Crush event.
Now regarded as a key date in the Irish cultural calendar, Culture Crush brings together professionals from across Ireland’s cultural and creative sectors - including film, TV, animation, games, music, immersive technologies, media, visual arts, and performing arts - to connect, collaborate, and discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping their industries.
The 2025 theme, Voice, explores how creators find, express, and sustain their voices amid evolving technologies, platforms, and audiences, with discussions and panels throughout the day encouraging open conversation across disciplines.
Guests this year include actor and filmmaker Eva Birthistle, Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist Carole Cadwallar, Fontaines DC manager Trevor Dietz, screenwriter, singer and composer Krysty Wilson-Cairns, singer and composer Iarla Ó Lionáird, Cartoon Saloon CTO Mark Mullery, tech founder Abeba Birhane and musician David Keenan.
