North East based event agency BeaconHouse Events is partnering with Visit Belfast to extend its reach into Northern Ireland, recognising the city’s emergence as one of the UK and Ireland’s most exciting and sustainable event destinations.
The partnership recognises Belfast’s growing potential for sustainable, world-class events and potential as a vibrant, forward-thinking event city.
Cat Duhaut, co-founder and director of BeaconHouse Events said: “Belfast is my home city and it has everything you could want from an event destination. It’s incredibly amenable as an event city, with world-class venues like the ICC, award-winning sustainability initiatives, and a genuinely collaborative local network which mirrors the community we see in the North East. There’s a lot of creative energy here and we’re excited to be part of it.”
Judith Abraham, head of business events at Visit Belfast, added: “This collaboration strengthens our shared ambition to deliver impactful events that attract global audiences, drive economic growth, and showcase the city’s unique blend of innovation, culture and warm hospitality.”
The partnership follows a year which has seen BeaconHouse Events’ dedication to sustainability continuing to be a key driver of the business’ success, propelled by major client wins, numerous awards for sustainable event delivery and approach and a commitment to a five year ESG strategy.
Belfast’s commitment to sustainability and responsible event practice aligns closely with BeaconHouse’s focus on delivering high-quality events that minimise environmental impact and support local communities. The city’s ongoing recognition, including the ICC Belfast and Visit Belfast’s numerous global sustainability awards, cements its position as a leader in delivering events with purpose.
While BeaconHouse is already delivering events in Belfast, this partnership will allow the team to strengthen local ties with suppliers, venues, regional partners and universities to support sustainable supply chain engagement and showcase the city’s appeal to the corporate and international association markets.
Duhaut continued: “We care about creating events that leave a positive impact while also working collaboratively with partners to support the events sector to make more conscious choices as a whole, and Belfast offers an incredible platform to continue that work. It’s a city that’s living and breathing the values that matter most to our industry.”
She added: “While BeaconHouse Events will continue to be headquartered in our North East home that we love, as we look ahead to 2026, the team plans to spend much more time in Belfast and across Northern Ireland, supporting clients, championing local partnerships, and continuing to raise the bar for responsible event delivery and we would love to talk events with more organisations who want to make great things happen.”
