Killarney to host Phorest Summit in 2027

The international salon software company Phorest has announced that its flagship annual event, the Phorest Summit, will relocate to Killarney in January 2027. After being held in Dublin for ten consecutive years, the 11th annual summit is scheduled for January 24 and 25, 2027, at the Gleneagle Arena.

The two-day global conference is expected to attract hundreds of salon, spa, and clinic owners from Europe, North America, and Australia. The event will feature keynotes, business workshops, and discussions on artificial intelligence integration for wellness professionals.

As part of its B Corp commitments, Phorest aims to support the local economy by collaborating with Killarney-based hospitality and entertainment providers. The summit will include a ‘Town Takeover’ on the opening evening, featuring local food and traditional Irish music across several historic venues on Main Street.
