Valerie Mulvin will be in conversation Niall McLaughlin in a special event for this year's RIAI Conference at 9:50am-11am on Wednesday 7th October.

The RIAI Conference is Ireland's largest built environment event, with more than 2,000 attendees attending in 2025 over two days (hybrid format). RIAI Members and their built-environment colleagues consider it an important annual networking and information-exchange event.

For the 2026 Conference, RIAI President Fionnuala May FRIAI has chosen a theme centred on architecture’s value to our society, economy, and culture – Architecture for the Common Good. Speakers and sessions will explore how and where architects impact and influence – from policy development, governance and leadership to the delivery of our national infrastructure for housing, public buildings and spaces, and sustainable transport.
