If the numismatic content isn't enough to tempt, attendees also get to attend 16 alternate lectures on each the following topics (making a total of 320 choices), as well as the four yet-to-be-announced plenary talks:

Panel 1: Achilles Tatius
Panel 2: Alcibiades: History, Characterization and Reception      
Panel 3: Cicero across Genres  
Panel 4: Civilisations and Cities: too many Romes?    
Panel 5: Modern (Ancient) Epic  
Panel 6: Coins of the Roman Revolution, 49 BC-AD 14: Evidence without Hindsight (that's our stuff!)
Panel 7: The Contexts of Late Antique Literature  
Panel 8: The Development of the Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity                  
Panel 9: Ethnicity and Multiculturalism in Herodotus: Through Others’ Eyes  
Panel 10: Forensic narratives in Athenian courts      
Panel 11: Topics, Traditions and Perspectives in Historiography on Alexander the Great
Panel 12: Imperial Panegyric from Diocletian to Constantine    
Panel 13: Landscapes of Dread    
Panel 14: Late Antique Palaces and Palace Culture: patterns of transculturation
Panel 15: Myth and History in the Historiography of Early Rome
Panel 16: New Approaches to Ancient Greek Warfare
Panel 17: Oppositional Tendencies in Myth and Mythography
Panel 18: The Origins of the Olympic Games and the Development of Olympia before the 5th century BC
Panel 19: The Roman Imperial Court from the Antonines to the Theodosians
Panel 20: Sulla Felix: Politics, Public Image, and Reception
Panel 21: Unease as opportunity: elite responses to the rise of Persia 559-479 BCE

Of the above, I'm also rather interested in 15: Myth and History in the Historiography of Early Rome; and 20: Sulla Felix: Politics, Public Image, and Reception. Here are their contents:

Myth and History in the Historiography of Early Rome
    The secession of the plebs and its Indo-European background.
    Aetiology and (re)construction: the memory of early Rome between realities and invention.
    Mythical Aborigines and Augustan historiography.
    The character of Roman collective memory and the construction of Roman ideals.
    The war of Porsenna in Livy and Dionysius.
    Dionysius and his sources on the mythical prehistory of Rome.  
    Privatus or tribunus celerum: the two ways to historicize and rationalize the myth of Lucius Brutus?.
    Political violence between myth and history: the example of Accius and Cicero.
    The Epiphanies of the Dioscuri: Myth or History?
    Le conflit patricio-plébéien entre mythe et histoire : comparaison des sécessions de la plèbe chez Tite-Live et Denys d’Halicarnasse.
    Dionysius of Halicarnassus on how to write myth.
    Men, Gods and Places in Early Rome : Myths in the historical Narratives in the 1st century BC.
    Sculpting History into Myth: Tarpeia, Moral Legislation, and Foreign Conquest.
    Roman myth and history: the memory of the Fabii at Cremera.

Sulla Felix: Politics, Public Image, and Reception
    ‘The Lion and the Fox': L. Cornelius Sulla from a warfare perspective.
    Sulla and Aphrodisias: on the construction of oracular tradition and historical memory.
    Reconsidering the Sulla Myth
    Rome Away from Rome: Sulla as Trailblazer for the Option of Rival Government. Jörg Fündling (RWTH Aachen)
    Paludes et silvae: the ruin of the veteran.
    What do Sulla and the philosophers have in common? Not much.
    Sulla’s long shadow, and what Tacitus’ Annales can tell us about Sallust’s Historiae.
    Sulla, the People and elections: a reassessment.
    Sulla in the Bellum Jugurthinum.
    Sulla the Orator.
    The Lacus Servilius.
    L. Cornelius Sulla between res publica and memoria.

So I'll dive out of the less interesting coin stuff for some of these. The full list of lectures is here:

I always like to encourage collectors to attend conferences. No special skills are required, there's no exam at the end, you just have to be able to listen, and if you feel like it, to join in discussions. But this always seems to fall on deaf years, at least as far as responses from Forum members are concerned. What could be more enjoyable than to spend a week and weekend in Dublin, talking about Imperatorial coinage, Sulla, early Roman myths, and Cicero? What a lot of fun for a hundred euros!

Nope - decoding the meaning of coin types isn't an area of knowledge for me. I'm more a technical numismatist, interested in mints, dating and the economics and necessity for coin issues. The pictures on the coins are neither here nor there except to the extent the can confirm issuer and date. But as the venue is one mile from my parents house, this is unmissable - I get to do family duty without having to pay for a separate flight or agenda time, and also get to do more interesting activities in daytime than a normal visit to the oldies involves.
