An accessible evening networking event in Dublin 2 for tech professionals across disciplines — software engineers, data analysts, consultants and entrepreneurs.

with Philip Brennan (Speaker, OneView)
At the start of the year this community predicted 2026 would be the year AI adoption moved from the individual task level to the organisational process level — and that engineers would shift from running agents sequentially to running agent fleets in parallel. This mid-year checkpoint revisits that call with the people actually doing it. Philip Brennan of OneView walks through his company's journey to becoming an Augmented Software Engineering Organisation: what changed in the tooling, what changed in the process, and what turned out to be harder than expected. Hosted at Baseline on Thomas Street, with AbbeyCapital sponsoring. Worth your time if you are an engineering leader trying to work out what 'AI-native delivery' means beyond the demos.
with Dionei Junior (Speaker, Data Science and Engineering Club) · Roman Golovnya (Organiser and Speaker, Data Science and Engineering Club) · Ali Hassan (Speaker, Data Science and Engineering Club)
A Saturday-morning working session for people who build data systems rather than just talk about them. Three practitioner talks back to back: Dionei Junior on taking raw data to gold with DBT and BigQuery, Roman Golovnya on why the semantic layer matters for AI, and Ali Hassan on building production-grade RAG systems beyond simple vector search. Then half an hour of networking with a room of data engineers and analysts. Bring a charged laptop — this group codes along. The Data Science and Engineering Club has a strong track record in Dublin and the sessions stay practical.
The Dublin Linux Community's monthly get-together in the pub — an unpretentious afternoon of open-source chat with a group that has been running consistently for years. Newcomers who know nothing about Linux are explicitly welcomed; the organisers are happy to explain things and the group is a mix of regulars and first-timers. If you work anywhere near infrastructure, systems or open source and want a low-effort way into Dublin's grassroots developer scene, this is a good entry point. Adult-friendly meetup; venue is occasionally subject to change so check the listing before travelling.
