Just Eat, which operates in 13 markets around the globe, aims to revolutionise the way people order and enjoy food. The Just Eat app has been downloaded over 850,000 times in Ireland since it was launched. Over 80pc of customers now order via the app and on mobile devices.

The company introduced a brand refresh in 2017, which reflects the amplified focus on food discovery, inspiring consumers to make new choices and explore the range of cuisine types.

The event will take place at the Digital Depot, Roe Lane, in the Digital Hub, Dublin 8, between 1pm and 3pm on Wednesday 29 March.
