Christmas with Dogpatch Labs Community — feat. 2025 Irish Techie Table Quiz
Details
🎄 It’s beginning to look a lot like… quizmas!
We’re delighted to share and welcome back a beloved tech community tradition in collaboration and hosted by Dogpatch Labs: the 2025 Tech Community Table Quiz, organised by long-time champions Vicky Twomey-Lee, Declan McGrath, and Michael Twomey (Irish Geeks).
Even better, this event will be in aid of the Dublin Simon Community, with all proceeds going directly to those who need it this winter season.
What began as a grassroots gathering has become a festive favourite — bringing together developers, designers, founders, and enthusiasts for an evening of light-hearted trivia, friendly rivalry, and charitable giving. We’re excited to keep the tradition thriving by joining us as Dogpatch Labs open up their Urban Garden for a special Christmas edition.
Dust off your cheesiest Christmas jumper, gather your sharpest teammates, and get ready for a fun, festive night of community and connection.
