Dublin — Week of 7 Sep 2026

An informal Dublin evening for people working across sustainability and innovation roles.

Smart Grid Ireland's annual conference on moving energy-system innovation from pilot to deployment, covering grid data, flexibility markets and the digital infrastructure behind decarbonisation.

Stripe hosts the next Dublin developer meetup at its Fitzwilton House offices, aimed at anyone building on the Stripe platform. The evening runs talks and Q&A on user experiences, product insights and integration best practice, bookended by refreshments and open networking. Food and drink provided. RSVP capacity is hard-capped with a Meetup waitlist, so early registration matters — this is one of the few fintech-engineering fixtures in Dublin with direct access to the platform team.

Digital Business Ireland's full-day conference and exhibition at Pitch Dublin, pulling together Ireland's digital leaders, builders and operators across sectors. Five tracks shape the day: global growth and operational excellence, AI for business, the future of digital commerce, digital marketing and audience engagement, and platforms, CX and loyalty. Speakers include Kwanele Nomoyi (Google), AJ Crinion (Sky Ireland), Jessica Chapplow (Heartificial Intelligence) and Samantha Kelly, with an exhibition floor alongside. The strongest single-day commercial-tech gathering in Dublin this window.

A joint ISPE Ireland and PDA seminar on where AI is genuinely being deployed in pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality — validation, regulatory expectations, and what has actually reached production.

An industry panel on where insights and analytics practice is heading, hosted at Dentsu's Dublin office. Useful for data, research and marketing-analytics practitioners tracking how measurement is changing.

LFDT Ireland introduces PDP-Connect, an open standard for personal data portability.

ProductTank Dublin takes on the gap between AI prototypes and shipped products, hosted at ServiceNow on Dawson Street. The theme — From Prompts to Products — digs into what building with AI genuinely makes easy and where the new bottlenecks appear once something has to survive real users, evaluation and maintenance. Aimed at product managers, designers and engineers who have moved past the demo stage. In-person only, and already running a waitlist.

Ruby Ireland at Intercom for a talk on concurrency patterns in the age of agentic software. Full house — join the waitlist if you want in.

A lunchtime business-growth networking table at Wren Urban Nest.

Tog's open hack night — bring a project, deliberately AI-free.

A recurring paid dinner for entrepreneurs; venue is confirmed to attendees after booking.

Second session of Coding Grace's five-part Python and electronics series.
