Tech Events at The Convention Centre Dublin, Dublin

Europe's main quantum technology conference comes to Dublin for four days: the Quantum Flagship's annual gathering of researchers, industry and policymakers. The programme spans four pillars, quantum computing, simulation, communication, and sensing and metrology, through invited talks, panels, poster sessions and an industry exhibition. Organisers ICHEC and Abbey Conferences also list a QVX Day and sessions on skills gaps in the sector. It sits on the Irish EU Council presidency's events calendar. Named speakers aren't published yet. It runs 30 November to 3 December at the Convention Centre Dublin. Registration is open; fees aren't shown publicly. Why go: the one week a year when most of Europe's quantum ecosystem is in the same building, and this year it's in Dublin. Essential for quantum researchers, deep-tech founders and investors, with side events like French Tech Dublin's 2 December roundtable around it.

A full day for Irish AI founders and the investors who back them, at the Convention Centre Dublin. The theme is The AI Startup Imperative: Building Defensible Moats, Securing Funding and Scaling Technical Teams. Attendance is capped and selected: 70 AI startup founders and CTOs based in Ireland and Northern Ireland, chosen from around 700 applications, plus VCs and ecosystem representatives. Confirmed panellists include Brian McGeough, CIO of Creditsafe, Manuela Locarno Ajayi, SVP and board member at TomTom, and Philipp Nieland, co-founder of Nikulipe and PPRO. Roundtable moderators include Martina Fitzgerald of Scale Ireland, Niamh Sterling of HBAN, Barry Brennan of Elkstone and Amy Neale of Delta Partners. Registration is by approval through Luma and the ticket price is not published. 09:00 to 17:00. Why go: the roundtable format puts founders across the table from Irish early-stage capital rather than in an audience. Best for AI founders raising in the next year.

Ireland's data, analytics and AI community in one building for a day: keynotes on a 2,000-seat main stage, a use-case stage for real-world deployments, sector-led sessions for executives, and deep-dive AI Labs for technical people. Run by the Analytics Institute, now in its 11th year and spread across three floors of the Convention Centre Dublin. The organisers expect more than 2,000 attendees and 30-plus speakers; the full agenda is on the Analytics Institute's own summit site. Doors 8:30, programme 9:30 to 17:00. Paid tickets through Eventbrite, with no refunds. Paid parking on site. Why go: the one day each year when most of Ireland's enterprise data and AI teams are under the same roof, which makes it as useful for meeting peers and hiring managers as for the talks. Best for data leaders, analytics engineers and anyone selling into Irish enterprise data teams.

USENIX's European site-reliability conference: three days of deeply technical talks on SRE, systems engineering and running complex distributed systems at scale, with a culture of critical thought that pitches to newcomers and decades-long veterans alike. The programme is co-chaired by Stephane Dudzinski (Crusoe AI) and Philip Rowlands (Jane Street). Runs 13 to 15 October at the Convention Centre Dublin; the full programme is on the USENIX site.
