The Centre for Talented Youth, Ireland
Conferences
Our annual one day conference is held in DCU and is aimed at parents, teachers and researchers of gifted children. Each year there is a host of national and international experts discussing different aspects of gifted education and psychology. These conferences are also a good opportunity to catch up and network with other people interested in this area.
Our conference takes place in February or March each year.
