On the 205th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo and on behalf of the Napoleon Society of Ireland and the International Napoleonic Society, I am pleased to announce that Cork City has been selected as the Host for the International Napoleonic society conference in 2022.
This is a historic year for the NSI as we will be celebrating our tenth anniversary. The NSI is particularly honoured to be chosen as this is the second time Ireland has hosted the INS Congress having hosted the 2016 event at the Stephen’s Green Club in Dublin.
Also on a point of Irish History 2022 will be the 100th year of the signing of the British/Irish treaty, a major milestone in Irish history as it will officially mark 100 years of Ireland being an independent entity from the UK.
Cork has a many connections to the Napoleonic story from the Bantry Bay invasion to the Burial of Dr Verhling.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cork City in 2022.
