Launching Q3 2026

Sponsorship 2026 / 2027

Partner With Us

Position your brand at the heart of Ireland's governance community. The Corporate Governance Awards Ireland connects you with the chairs, boards and executives who shape how Irish organisations are run — at a moment when governance has never been more prominent on the boardroom agenda.

Why Sponsor

Access Ireland's senior governance community

Put your brand in front of the chairs, NEDs, CEOs and audit leaders who make Ireland's biggest governance decisions — all in one room.

Associate with governance excellence

Align your brand with the organisations and individuals setting the highest standards in Irish governance. Be seen as a champion of best practice.

Cross-sector reach

Unique access to three distinct audiences — listed companies, the public and state sector, and Irish SMEs and not-for-profits — in one programme.

Year-round brand presence

From launch in Q3 2026 through entries, judging, shortlist and ceremony — sustained visibility across digital, print and PR throughout the year.
