Now, he brings his expertise, Irish heritage, and remarkable career stories to stages in Dublin/Galway for an evening of insight and reflection.
King will be joined by one of Ireland’s most celebrated journalists, Dearbhail McDonald, who will lead adynamic and thought-provoking conversation.
Engaging, timely, and deeply informed, this is a must-attend for anyone interested in politics, media, or the future of democracy.
