The conferring events, which will take place in Galway, Cork, Limerick, Dublin, Dungannon and London, will see those who have achieved the prestigious titles of Associate Engineer, Engineering Technician, Chartered Engineer and Fellow between March 2021 and February 2022 join with volunteer members and  representatives from regional branches to celebrate their achievements.

The conferring ceremonies are also set to be an extra special celebration for members of the institution as they will be the first in-person conferring events since 2019.

Over 270 members will be awarded the Registered Professional Title of Chartered Engineer, an accolade associated with the very best of the engineering profession. Additionally, 45 members of the institution will receive the Title of Fellow, the highest level of membership awarded by Engineers Ireland. This title is reserved for engineers who have demonstrated a significant level of experience and professionalism.  Over 20 members of the institution will also be conferred with Engineering Technician and Associate Engineer titles.
