Animation Ireland Meitheal is an animation industry summit with a focus on developing, producing, and distributing animation content.

*Meitheal is an Irish word, meaning a team, a working group, or a gathering of people who meet to share their knowledge and skills in a collective effort, to ensure that all succeed in achieving their goals. The word’s origins lie in the ancient rural Irish tradition of neighbours gathering together to collaborate on tasks, to save the harvests, and to work together for the greater good of the community.

All animation industry professionals are welcome to join in an array of talks, panels, and demonstrations of some of the best new technologies in the industry.

The primary goal of Animation Ireland Meitheal is to inform and inspire professionals about the current developments in the animation industry, both in Ireland and internationally.

Following their highly successful pilot summit at the IAA 2024, we are delighted that Animation Ireland Meitheal will be back and will again take place in The Galway Bay Hotel Salthill on Friday May 23rd 2025.

The annual get-together in May will be full of great content, great networking, creative and practical information on how to help businesses survive and thrive – plus opportunities to meet buyers, potential business partners or clients.
