Rubicon 100 Years
Rubicon 100 Years
Rubicon is a yearly boutique conference that gathers to intentionally collaborate and explore ideas about how faith can be expressed within our cultural context. The contributors are numerous and varied and are drawn from the areas of media, arts, sports, politics, entrepreneurism and philosophy in a “TED–esque” format with interaction, table discussion and tea.

This year Rubicon will explore 100 years of Irish culture, arts and faith– “1916–2016: Before, Between and Beyond”. Rubicon 2016 takes place this Saturday, April 16, from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm in the Church of Ireland College of Education, Rathmines.
