The Association of Irish Festivals and Events (AOIFE) is an all-island voluntary network organisation that brings together festival organisers as well as suppliers, sponsors and policy makers. Established in 1993, it now has over 400 festivals and events and more than 100 corporate and individual members.

In 1998 they asked us to help put in place a public liability insurance scheme specifically for festivals and events. For the majority of AOIFE members, we can now offer a saving of 50% on their premium.

The AOIFE yearbook is recognised as the essential reference for festival and event organisers and suppliers. It contains a full directory of acts, agencies, street entertainers, marquee and PA suppliers as well as the contact details of all AOIFE members and general information.

Together, AOIFE and PJT organise an annual conference that includes presentations and workshops on a variety of topics such as funding, insurance, sponsorship, health and safety. A key feature of the conference is the attendance of speakers from European and North American festivals to share their experiences.
