EUROMOVERS International held its annual conference in Dublin, Ireland, from 29 May to 1 June, 2025. As usual at EUROMOVERS, the event was well attended with virtually all delegates taking part in both the business and social events.
The conference, hosted by Stephan Strauss, Chairman of the EUROMOVERS Executive Board, was held at the very comfortable Hyatt hotel close to the centre of the city. As well as the business sessions the delegates amused themselves with a treasure hunt around the city, which included the opportunity to learn Irish dancing, sing ‘Molly Malone’ alongside the iconic statue, and try their hand at pulling a perfect pint of Guinness. There were also organised evening events held at the Guinness Storehouse and Teeling distillery, one of the oldest in Dublin.
Careline was a major sponsor for the conference. The company held a reception at its Dublin depot which included a tour of one of the industry’s best equipped training facilities.
AI was the main topic of discussion during the business sessions. Bilal Zafar with the expert keynote speaker who is about to release his new book entitled ‘The smartest friend we’ve ever had’. Between Bilal’s presentation, and an extended panel discussion, the delegates were all given practical tips to help them integrate AI into their business practices.
