Thinking of bringing a Young Equine Innovators Summit to your region? This guide is a practical replication blueprint, capturing how the YEI Summit was designed and delivered across Kildare, Ireland in March 2026, from the Irish National Stud and The Curragh Racecourse to Goffs bloodstock auction house. Created for local authorities, equine sector bodies, higher education institutions, youth organisations and event teams, it walks you through every stage of hosting: planning your summit, managing it on the ground, and wrapping up in a way that turns three days of activity into twelve months of impact.
Inside you will find guidance on venue selection, engaging the right mix of young people, educators and policymakers, marketing your event across a sixteen week countdown, and building sustainability into every decision using the internationally recognised FEI Sustainability Handbook framework. Real examples from the Kildare summit, including its speaker programme, venue rotation and honest lessons on hybrid delivery, show what worked in practice and what to watch out for.
