He@lthFest 2021

HealthFest is a free event tailored to teenagers which has successfully run for five years. It is the only event of its kind, featuring experts in the areas of physical activity, nutrition and mental wellbeing.

This year’s event took place on Wednesday 27st of January from 2-4pm and was brought to over 8,000 attendees virtually for the first time – as He@lthFest. We used a very interactive platform to deliver credible information from Irish experts; and where students could visit exhibitor stands, win fantastic prizes and even take place in a virtual scavenger hunt!

You will find details of future HealthFest events on this website, once details are confirmed. In the meantime, you can view the 2021 talks below and discover some useful health and wellbeing advice for teenagers.

Exhibitors 2021

There was a virtual exhibition hall at He@lthFest 2021. The schedule allowed for two 15-minute breaks where there was a chance to visit the stands. At each of the booths attendees had the opportunity to engage with those managing the stand over live online (private) chat. Each booth contained valuable content for attendees to view.
