About this Event

This 13th Annual Society for Music Education in Ireland (SMEI) Conference 2025 is a two-day event taking place in St Mary's University College on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th October 2025.

The Conference Theme is 'Crossroads and Connections'. This conference will provide a platform for researchers, professionals, scholars, practitioners and musicians to exchange and share their knowledge, information, music, new ideas, and experience in person with peers. This gathering will help delegates to establish research relationships and international partnerships for future collaborations. We hope that the outcome will lead to significant contributions to the knowledge base in the field of Music Education.

We are delighted to announce our two keynote speakers Professor Gwen Moore, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick and Dr Gary Spruce, Birmingham City University. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Refreshments will be provided on both days. The conference dinner is included in the ticket price and will be provided on Day 1 (Tuesday evening) after a Book Launch. A hot lunch will also be provided on Day 2 (Wednesday).
