Bringing people together in person, in cozy environments in Kilkenny City to listen to and exchange ideas and have the craic is what we do. If we can't do it safely, we'll wait until we can. See you all in November, 2021.
Feels like a good day to hide bad news!
@kilkenomics
cancelled. Our vibe is social, craic, chatty, funny, human & being there in Kilkenny altogether, so we won't be going online as it wouldn't be our festival! Thanks to everyone for making it work, contributors like
