Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel served as a prominent sponsor of the Pendulum Summit 2025, which took place on 8 and 9 January at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD).
The annual two-day programme brought together renowned speakers – including boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, tennis star Andre Agassi and comedian Jimmy Carr – to share insights and empower delegates in maximising their potential.
“We were delighted to sponsor [the] Pendulum Summit and to host the CEO dinner,” said Ludo de Jong, general manager of Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel. “The event is perfectly aligned with Anantara’s vision for constantly striving for excellence, breaking boundaries, and not only meeting, but exceeding the expectations of our discerning guests.”
CEO Dinner

The menu featured dishes such as cured salmon with Kilmore Quay crab and a stone strip steak complemented by a short-rib pastie. Guests concluded their meal with a pear, vanilla and chocolate crémeux dessert.
Distinguished speakers on the evening included Sugar Ray Leonard, Ray Nolan, Nick Santonastasso and Tánaiste Micheál Martin, who addressed attendees. Also in attendance were Ministers Darragh O’Brien and Dara Calleary.
“It was a privilege to meet so many inspirational people from diverse backgrounds who have excelled in their fields, sharing both their successes and the challenges they’ve overcome,” said Anantara’s de Jong.
“This high-profile summit attracts attendees from around the globe, and we were proud to be the preferred accommodation provider for its delegates and speakers.”
