Spaces are limited and single rooms sell out quickly. If you’d like to secure a single room with private bathroom and guarantee your place, book now to avoid disappointment.

Ian has thousands of hours of drone flying experience conducting operations, training with Emergency Services and developing concepts. Teaching, guest lecturing and being heavily involved in the European Space program enables me to share a broad picture of global applications and best use cases. 

Lots of learning, discussion and an expectation of many questions from our guests. If you have specific areas of inquiry, please flag them in advance and we will endeavor to root out interesting topics, people, advancements or places to visit.

We will visit and fly local historical sites and learn a bit about Irelands rich history, 800 years of indentured servitude, civil war and what we have achieved with 100 years of freedom.
