On September 9th, we were proud to host Data Intelligence 2025, a day focused on the evolving role of data in driving innovation and smarter decision-making.
The event brought together industry leaders, practitioners, and innovators from across Ireland and beyond. Through keynote talks, case studies, and panel discussions, attendees gained practical insights into how organisations are harnessing data to deliver real-world impact — from improving public services and advancing sustainability goals to streamlining operations and unlocking new business opportunities.
A huge thank you to our speakers for delivering engaging and thought-provoking sessions and which were central to the event’s success:

We would also like to thank Garrett Cronin, IMGS Commercial Director, for hosting our lively Speaker Panel Q&A, where participants were able to dive deeper into the themes raised throughout the day.
Data Intelligence 2025 was not just about presentations, it was about starting conversations that will continue to shape the way organisations think about and use data.
We look forward to building on the conversations started at Data Intelligence 2025 and continuing to work together to unlock the potential of data.
