A major conference which aims to connect regional business with global expertise will be hosted by SETU’s Cork Road, Waterford campus.
The seventh event on Quality, Innovation and Sustainability (ICQIS 2026) takes place from 10th to 12th June in a bid to create a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration.
The programme is designed to ensure strong industry relevance, with highlights including keynote talks, an industry panel discussion, parallel sessions, and an industry-focused excursion.
It will feature keynote contributions from internationally recognised experts, including Professor Peter Hines and Richard Dawson and will be chaired by Dr Patrick Lynch.
Dr Lynch says; “ICQIS 2026 will bring world-leading insights directly to the South East. For regional businesses, this is an opportunity to engage with new ideas, share experiences, and explore practical approaches to improving performance, embracing innovation, and advancing sustainability.”
