Connector and sister brand SocialMedia.ie have over 15,000 social media connections in the Irish market. We will invite our network to come along and meet other passionate people from across the digital world and connect with them both online & offline.

In September 2013, Ireland’s first Instagallery was organised to celebrate the launch of connector360.

Uniting art, technology & entertainment, we had a live interactive wall that was updated in real time with photos from the event.

The Instagram photo gallery featured 10 influential photographers whose work was showcased on the walls. We had a DJ who captivated everyone and made this gallery experience unique.

With almost no budget and a short lead time, we had over 200 attendees and media coverage in the Irish Times. We had over 150,000 impressions across different social networks. This was one of the best events organised by Connector with the energy in the room quite electrifying!
