Friday Night Kirtan: Soulful Musical Meditation
Overview
Get ready to immerse yourself in a spiritual journey through music and meditation at the Friday Night Kirtan event!
Join us every Friday at **ISKCON Dublin** for an evening thatās more than just a concertāitās a sanctuary. Located right in the heart of the city, at the top of the stairs on Abbey Street, our Friday Kirtan is a space for everyone to unplug, find inner peace, and experience ancient wisdom through sound.
#### **What is Kirtan?**
Kirtan is a traditional form of "call-and-response" musical meditation. One person sings a simple, ancient Sanskrit mantra, and the group sings it back. Itās effortless, deeply relaxing, and you donāt need to be a "singer" to participate. The music builds from a gentle, meditative whisper to a joyful, rhythmic celebration that naturally clears the mind.
#### **Why Join Us?**
* **De-stress:** Let the vibrations of the harmonium and drums wash away the week's tension.
* **Community:** Meet like-minded people in a warm, non-judgmental environment.
* **The Sanctuary:** Discover a quiet, hidden space in the city centre dedicated to peace and self-discovery.
#### **The Evening Flow**
* **6:00 PM ā 7:00 PM:**[ Open Bhagavad Gita Wisdom Circle](https://www.meetup.com/harekrishnaireland/events/313884389/?fromSeries=true&slug=harekrishnaireland&eventId=313884389) (Optional - feel free to join early!)
* **7:00 PM ā 8:30 PM:** The Main Kirtan Experience
* **8:30 PM onwards:** Evening concludes/Community connection time.

Tutorial 9 ā Object Detection using DETR (Meta AI) with Hugging Face & PyTorch
My name is Aurelie and I'm graduating with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Limerick.
I run monthly **machine learning** and **deep learning** tutorials in Dublin with a small group of people.
\*\*In this tutorial, we will build an endātoāend object detection workflow using the **DETR** model from Meta AI, powered by **Hugging Face Transformers** and **PyTorch** based on a Hugging Face tutorial. We will use a small public dataset, walk through data preprocessing, fineātuning the model, evaluating performance, and finally running inference on a **new, unseen image** containing a similar object that was not part of the training set. You will receive a Jupyter notebook with clean, reusable code covering every step. No setup required beyond a laptop and a Google account to run everything in Google Colab.
**The tutorials are limited to 15 participants and you can reserve your spot either here or by emailing aureliem219@gmail.com. Please make sure to book as soon as possible, as the registration count on Meetup does not guarantee availability.**
**For more information about the tutorials:**
* The tutorials are interactive and will be conducted using **Jupyter notebooks** on **Google Colaboratory** (a free, cloud-based platform that lets us write and run code directly in the browser). While **Google Colaboratory** is free to use, tasks that require more computational power (such as training deep learning models) may benefit from GPU access. In that case, Google offers a once-off payment for around ā¬10 which can last several months depending on your usage.
Some familiarity with **Python** or other programming languages is helpful but not required. Everyone is welcome to join and learn at their own pace.
* The tutorial lasts for 1.5 hours.
* During the tutorial, I share the Jupyter notebook with participants so they can keep it for future reference. We go through the notebook step by step together and I do my best to answer any questions along the way.
* The notebook includes the complete code from data preparation to model training and evaluation. It can be reused or adapted for your own business needs or personal projects
* We will be working with a variety of **Python** libraries including **Scikit-learn**, **PyTorch**, **TensorFlow**, **Keras**, **Seaborn**, **Pandas** and **Matplotlib** and the **Hugging Face** framework. These tools will help us explore different machine learning and deep learning techniques using publicly available datasets.
* Each tutorial focuses on a different algorithm in depth. Topics covered include **linear regression**, **logistic regression**, **K-means clustering**, **decision trees**, **artificial neural networks (ANNs)**, **convolutional neural networks (CNNs)** for image classification, **object detection** and **natural language processing**. The goal is to break down each technique step by step, making it approachable and practical for real-world applications.
This tutorial take place at the **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** (We will be sitting in the lobby in the corner or on the right handside). It will run from **3 pm** to **4.30 pm**.
**Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2**
* The tutorials are a high-level practical introduction to machine learning and deep learning and the emphasis on understanding how we process the data , train and evaluate a model with Python. We won't cover the mathematics behind it however some tutorials may have mathematical formulas as part of the algorithm explanation and some tutorials might have more complex data preprocessing as it depends on the datasets and the task we are doing. However the tutorials focus on the practical part!
* *Payments need to be made in advance to secure your place and fees are non-refundable unless I need to cancel the event, in this case refunds will be made.*

Daytona x Give(a)Go HackSprint
š A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes
Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it.
A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable.
Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds.
That changes what is possible.
**Registeration required on [luma page](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring).**
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
On March 28th, we are bringing together Dublinās most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems.
***
# š§ What You Will Build
**Design AI agents that demonstrate**
* Sharp reasoning
* Independent decision making
* Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments
* Real world impact
A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly.
This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production.
*If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.*
⨠Every builder receives Daytona credits.
š Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute.
***
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## **Project Ideas:**
* **Self-Evolving Agent**
Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems.
* **Parallel coding agents** with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast.
* **Research pipelines** that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another.
* **Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab**
Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes.
Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models.
***
## What the day looks like
š 11:00 AM Doors open
āļø 11:30 AM Intro to Daytona and sandbox primitives
š 12:00 PM Hacking begins
š 1:00 PM Lunch
š ļø 1:30 PM Back to building
š„ļø 4:45 PM Demos and judging
š 5:30 PM Awards and close
Bring your laptop, an idea, and something youāve been wanting to automate.
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## About Daytona
**[Daytona](https://daytona.io)**: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution.
Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today.
## Venue Partner
āā\*\*[Baseline](https://baseline.community/)\*\*: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland. They write ā¬100K first checks to technical founders, backed entirely by private investors. Looking for your first check? these are the people to be in a room with.
## Join the Community
**[Give(a)Go](https://giveago.co)** is a Dublin-based builder community running hands-on technical events for ambitious people who make things. 30+ events. 1,000+ attendees. Partners include PostHog, LangChain, ElevenLabs, HubSpot and Windsurf. One rule: learning by building.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably āyesā, but weāre not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup weāve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
Sheāll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so weāre guessing thereās more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and scienceāusing data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasualās Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isnāt just about believing in yourself, itās about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, weāll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, weāll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when itās rooted in connection rather than comparison.
Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal storiesāincluding the significance of turning 53āLachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are.
Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connectionāplus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you youāre not meant to do this alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether youāre launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fullyāyou belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and convictionābut the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
Itās designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
