Tech Events at Stripe, Dublin

Ninety minutes in Stripe's Dublin office building something an AI agent can pay to use, using the Machine Payments Protocol. MPP lets an agent request a resource, pay for it and get the result back over the web. The brief is to ship a working prototype of an API or service worth paying for - a data feed, a developer tool, a narrow service that does one thing well - inside the time limit, then show it. Bring a laptop and charger; snacks provided. Free, starts 13:00 on Tuesday 10 November. Why go: agent payments are moving from blog posts to protocols, and this is a chance to put something through one in an afternoon with Stripe engineers in the room. Best for backend and API developers, indie hackers and anyone thinking about how agents will buy things.

A full day on building for AI agents, run by Stripe at its Dublin offices on Wilton Place. The format is hands-on: workshops and a hackathon rather than a stage, with the Stripe engineers who built the tooling in the room. The programme covers integrations, financial operations and agent-initiated transactions, which is the plumbing an agent needs once it has to move money rather than just produce text. Schedule and registration sit on Stripe's own events site; the Stripe Dublin Meetup listing is the community entry point. 08:30 to 17:30, free. Why go: agent payments is one of the few areas where the tooling is moving faster than the documentation, and this is a day of building against it with the people who ship it. Best for engineers putting agents into production, and for founders whose product will take payments on an agent's behalf.

with Mark Doyle (Software Engineer, Stripe)

The next Stripe Dublin evening meetup, in person at Stripe's offices in Fitzwilton House on Wilton Place. One talk this month: Mark Doyle, a software engineer at Stripe, on building autonomous coding agents at Stripe. Doors and refreshments from 18:00, talk and Q&A from 18:30, then food, drinks and networking to 20:00. Free, with a hard cap on places and a Meetup waitlist once it fills, so RSVP early if you want to be in the room. Why go: a short, specific talk from someone shipping coding agents inside a company that runs them at scale, then two hours with the Dublin payments and infrastructure crowd. Best for engineers working on agents or on Stripe integrations.

An evening for women founders on the two things that decide whether a small business grows: how you fund it in a tough market, and how you use AI tools to save time and scale. Ladies Who Launch, the non-profit for women entrepreneurs, hosts it at Stripe's Dublin office. The line-up includes Eileen O'Mara (Vice Chair, Stripe), Patricia Scanlon (founder of SoapBox Labs and former chair of the Irish government's AI Advisory Council), Mary McKenna (co-founder, Awaken Angels), India Healy O'Connor (Linda AI), Jayne Ronayne (Oac) and Katie Doran (Consello Ireland). Opening fireside chat at 18:10, then a session on finding funding. Doors 17:15, finishes 21:00. Free, at One Wilton Park, Wilton Place, Dublin 2. Ticket sales have ended, so only go if you already have a place. Why go: unusually senior speakers for a free evening, with investors and operators who talk money plainly. For women founders at pre-seed to growth stage.

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.
