Tech Events by PyData Ireland

Women in AI Ireland and PyData Ireland run a joint panel and breakout session at Squarespace House on how you actually check whether an AI system is working as intended. Four lenses, each with a panellist: product and engineering (what 'good' looks like, testing and monitoring), governance and policy (who owns the decision and the risk), legal and regulatory (data, transparency, obligations when you deploy), and finance (what AI actually costs and how to budget for it). The panel is followed by an interactive breakout rather than a Q&A queue. Free, hosted and powered by Squarespace. Why go: the EU AI Act turns these four conversations into one job, and most teams are currently having them separately. Best for ML engineers, data leads, and anyone who will be asked to sign off on an AI system.

PyData Ireland hosts IBM Research at Trinity College Dublin Business School for an evening on generative computing and Mellea — writing programs that call models the way they call functions. Over 200 signed up.

IBM Research brings PyData Ireland to Trinity for an evening on agentic AI — three staff scientists presenting real work: NASA knowledge discovery, production containerization for LangChain agents, and structured scientific experimentation. One of the stronger technical meetups on the Dublin calendar.

PyData Ireland partners with QuantumBlack (AI by McKinsey) for a deep dive into agentic AI. Two senior engineers present: one on building agentic GenAI pipelines with Kedro Builder (beginner-friendly), the other on letting AI agents manage ML and data pipelines via MCP. 130 confirmed — one of April's standout data science events.
