The Irish Shows Association (ISA) on February 3rd announced the launch of its ISA SuperShow Platform, an integrated show management IT system, which will be available to its members throughout Ireland. During the enforced break in ISA’s regular activities due to COVID-19, the association was able to focus on bringing this innovative digitalisation project to fruition.

45 ISA member shows will be live on the new system for the coming showing season and exhibitors are encouraged to avail of this very useful service. 

The benefits of the system for exhibitors and trade stands owners is that with one user account you can enter multiple shows and only need to type in your details once.

The project is funded by LEADER as a co-operation measure through Monaghan Integrated Development CLG, West Cork LCDC / Avondhu Blackwater Partnership CLG, Galway Rural Development CLG and South West Mayo Development Company CLG and supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Department of Agriculture as part of Project Ireland 2040.

John O’Sullivan, Chair of the West Cork LCDC and LEADER Cooperation project partner commended this ambitious project stating that the platform will “greatly enhance the work undertaken by ISA volunteers both locally and regionally. This will, in turn, improve the organisation of such events and the visitor experience, while increasing prosperity in our rural communities. Cork County Council, the West Cork LCDC and Avondhu Blackwater Partnership CLG are delighted to cooperate with Monaghan, Mayo, Galway and the Irish Shows Association through our LEADER Cooperation measure”.

A list of all participating shows will be published on the Irish Shows Association website, www.irishshows.org.
