Black Business

A lovely session of music and song in a relaxed and supportive environment. All levels of musician and singer welcome. You can come and sing or play one song or just come and listen to the other members. Great way to build up your playing skills and build up your confidence. We don't pay the bar for this session, so make sure you buy at least one drink. Charge €2.

TOG will be open on Tuesday evenings from 19:00 to 21:30 for a general Open House event. Expect to find members and visitors in the space up to all sorts of activities. It's a great time to drop in and see what the space is about. If you're an artist, tinkerer, maker or just plain curious, come in and see what the space is about. Maybe you already have something to work on (or want to), have something to fix, create, design, bodge or tinker... drop in. We're also open for just for plain old social chat and hang out, with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. We have lots of free parking right outside our door.

**Alphaville** **Meet** in IFI Foyer 6.10 pm, film 6.20 pm. **Booking**: [https://ifi.ie/film/jean-luc-godard-alphaville/](https://ifi.ie/film/jean-luc-godard-alphaville/) **NB:** If you are trying to locate the Meet Up in the IFI: My mobile number is 087 4179505, please call or text as a post here might not be noticed at that stage. I've booked Seat **H7.** **Alphaville** One of Godard’s most inventive movies, Alphaville blends sci-fi and film noir to winning effect. Godard shot the film on location in Paris, which Raoul Coutard turns into an icily dehumanised city of the future. Hollywood B-movie icon Eddie Constantine plays Lemmy Caution, a secret agent sent to overthrow the rule of Professor Von Braun, inventor of the Alpha-60 computer. En route, Lemmy meets the professor’s daughter (Anna Karina, of course), who is incapable of loving. Godard has fun playing with genre conventions while continuing his life-long exploration of the relationship between sound and image, love and society. **Director: *Jean-Luc Godard*** **99 mins, France, 1965, Digital, Black and White, Subtitled**

If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you. The Growth Circle is an **exclusive, in-person gathering** for professionals who are done with loud bars, random networking, and unstructured meetups. We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **dedicated private room in a bar** — intentionally separated from the public area. This means: * no background noise * no interruptions * no competing conversations Just a room designed for **real focus and meaningful exchange**. ### **What this is (and what it isn’t)** This is: * a space to reflect, reset, and refocus * a room where action matters more than titles * a community built around **doing**, not talking This is not: * a casual after-work hangout * a place to collect contacts * a “free inspiration” event ### **Why there’s a €9.99 fee** Most people don’t mind paying — they mind paying for the **wrong experience**. This fee exists to prevent: * uncommitted drop-ins * people who just want to network without contributing * wasted time and low-energy rooms The result: * everyone arrives prepared * conversations stay intentional * the experience stays worth coming back to ### **Who this circle is for** ✔ Growth-minded professionals & founders ✔ People who respect their own time ✔ Those who want to leave feeling clearer than they arrived ### **Selection & Quality Control** Places are limited and **personally selected**. Not everyone will be accepted — and that’s intentional. The goal is a room where **every person adds value**.

**Free meetups for Rebels of all kinds, since 2013.** Casual networking events with occasional fireside chats from founders, creators and successful business owners. No formal agenda, or dress-code (please wear something though). Drinks sold at the bar. This event is free thanks to our partners, volunteer hosts and our generous hosting venue. **More than just meetups...** Rebellious Co provides everything entrepreneurs & business leaders need on their journey through an ecosystem of services. Primarily accessible via our membership, you can access a global community with game-changing benefits plus partnered services to help you start & grow your business from zero to one and beyond. \>\> [More on benefits & joining here](https://www.rebelliousco.org/membership/) << **What you will get** • Meet other founders, builders and creatives in Dublin • Hear honest stories from people actually doing the work • Learn how to grow sustainably, not just fast • Walk away with clarity, not overwhelm • Make connections that go beyond business cards **Speakers** ***Andrew Casey*** **Co-Founder of Headcase** Andrew Casey is the co-founder of Headcase, the creative communications agency he started with his childhood best friend over 16 years ago. A champion of bold thinking and purpose-led business, Andrew believes in trusting your mad ideas and building culture that actually means something. Through Headcase, he’s worked with global brands and organisations to create work that connects, not just campaigns that shout. Entrepreneur. Creative. Straight talker. Still making music, just with a slightly smaller audience at home. ***Cathy Biggs*** **Experiential Producer \| Community Builder** Cathy Biggs is an experiential producer and founder of All Things Activations, working across brand activations and live experiences in Ireland and the UK. She’s built her career turning big ideas into calm, controlled execution — budgets balanced, timelines tight, no meltdowns. After relocating and rebuilding from scratch, Cathy brings an honest perspective on starting over, being underestimated, and backing yourself anyway. She’s also the co-host of Rebel Meetups and currently building Bloom — a future community-led coworking and wellness hub in Dublin. Be there or be ... boring!!!

If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you. This is a **curated in-person meetup** for growth-minded professionals and founders who value **focus, depth, and action** over noise and small talk. We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **private room inside a bar** — not in the middle of a loud crowd, not at shared tables, and not competing with background music. This space is intentionally chosen so that: * conversations can go deep * you can actually hear and think * your time feels **protected**, not diluted This is not a “drop-by networking event.” It’s a **deliberate environment for clarity, motivation, and execution**. ### **What makes this different** People often say: * “I hate loud bars where you can’t talk properly” * “I don’t want to pitch or be pitched” * “I don’t want to waste another evening with nice conversations and no outcome” This meetup is designed to avoid exactly that. Here, you: * come with clear goals * leave with concrete next steps * meet people who are **already taking action** ### **Why this is paid (€9.99)** The fee is not about exclusivity for its own sake. It’s about **commitment and quality**. Free meetups often lead to: * last-minute no-shows * people who just want to “see what it’s about” * shallow networking without contribution The small fee ensures: * people show up intentionally * everyone respects the space and each other * the room stays focused and valuable You’re not paying for access. You’re paying for a **high-quality room and high-quality people**. ### **Who this is for** ✔ Professionals, founders, freelancers ✔ People actively working on something ✔ Those who prefer **investing time** over spending it ### **Curation & Selection** To protect the group’s quality, **attendance is curated**. I personally review applications. **Quality over quantity — always.**
