                    The Venue

In comparison to other capitals, Dublin is a convivial city with a
human scale and an extroverted populace. At the heart of the city lies
Trinity College with its magnificent buildings and beautiful campus
spanning 35 acres. Trinity College has occupied this location for the
past 400 years, and while none of the original buildings remain, the
College boasts fine squares and gardens and a collection of
magnificent buildings dating from the 17th to the 20th century. In
contrast to the serene surroundings of the College landscape, the
modern city of Dublin is just outside the main gate of the campus,
with shops, theatres, cinemas and museums within walking distance.
