TILP Social Event 12 November 2002, 19:30 The Gravity Bar - Guinness Storehouse Dublin, Ireland

The Institute of Localisation Professionals (TILP) invites you to join your colleagues at the first annual TILP Social Event, formerly the Annual Localisation Dinner, which will take place on the evening of Tuesday, 12 November 2002. This is a unique opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones, exchange the latest news and just have a good time.

The venue for the event is the award-winning Guinness Storehouse – Dublin’s number one visitor attraction, which has played host to, amongst many others, the former US President Bill Clinton during his visit to Ireland. Right in the heart of the St James’ Gate Brewery, the Storehouse was built using the same architectural techniques used to create Chicago’s skyscrapers.

Open escalators link six levels, which surround a central glass atrium shaped like a giant pint glass rising 100 feet high. It would take 14.3 million pints of the real thing to fill it – as somebody has recently worked out!

This is where the Gravity Bar is located, the highest bar in Dublin. Its circular glass walls provide a truly spectacular, 360-degree panoramic view over the city of Dublin.

In 2001 Arup Consulting Engineers wrote that the Guinness Storehouse “:will stand as a museum of the past for those who appreciate what architecture and engineering of another age achieved. It will also stand as a model for others to follow who seek new uses for our heritage of structures from the past.”
