NomadÉire Coworking Session \| Rathmines Looking for a productive start to your week? Join NomadÉire for a relaxed coworking session in Rathmines this Monday morning. Whether you're working remotely, building a business, freelancing, studying, job searching, creating content, or simply looking to get out of the house for a few hours, come spend the morning with fellow members of the NomadÉire community. We'll start at **Universal Caffè** in Rathmines, a cozy local café that's perfect for grabbing a coffee and getting some work done. If the café becomes too busy or seating is limited, we'll relocate just a few minutes away to **Rathmines Library**, which offers plenty of quiet workspace and free Wi-Fi. Whether you stay for an hour or the full session, you're welcome to drop in whenever works for you. What to expect: • A productive and relaxed coworking environment. • Opportunities to meet fellow digital nomads, remote professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, and founders. • Casual networking and conversation during coffee breaks. • Accountability and motivation to tackle your Monday to-do list. • Flexible drop-in attendance throughout the session. We'll meet at **Universal Caffè, Rathmines** at **10:00 AM** and cowork until approximately **1:00 PM**. If Universal Caffè is particularly busy, we'll move the group to Rathmines Library and post an update in the event chat so everyone can find us easily. Bring your laptop, charger, headphones, and whatever you're working on. Come alone or bring a friend. Either way, you'll be warmly welcomed and quickly introduced to the group. Looking forward to kicking off the week with a productive morning of coffee, work, and community.

Come along to get rid of the number one fear people have. Every week we have new members and people starting from scratch so you will not be alone. Everything is based around what you're comfortable with and you don't have to stand up, talk or do anything if you don't feel like it. But you will have the opportunity to speak at least 4/5 times a night. You can come along to see what we're doing and take part if you like. We will be running this for beginners every week and anyone is welcome to join us to learn and get better together. Hope to see you there :D We charge €5 to help towards the room rental.

Build a private AI app in one evening Sometimes you do not want to send your data away to someone else's cloud. You want private AI on infrastructure you can rely. Tensorix ([www.tensorix.ai](http://www.tensorix.ai/)) offers: 30+ open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi and friends) on EU-sovereign infrastructure with no data retention, behind a drop-in OpenAI-compatible API. This is a hands-on workshop. Bring a laptop. You will leave with: * A working app you built yourself, running on your laptop * A pipeline that extracts text from images * A receipt classifier you can show your colleagues, and the skills to extend it * A Tensorix account, set up and loaded with free credits (pay-as-you-go after that, no monthly fees or minimums) * Pizza eaten On the night I will step through building a Streamlit app using spec-driven development, connecting it to Tensorix, and getting your colleagues using it. No AI experience needed; a little Python helps. I code in cursor so downloading that will help. But if you know another ide you will be fine to use that. If you can sign up at https://tensorix.ai/ for an account that will save some time. Tensorix are hosting us at their space and are providing the LLM credits and the pizza. It is a workshop with limited numbers so please keep your rsvp accurate if you can.

**From Code to Connection: The Human Reality of Building an AI Startup** **About the Event:** Welcome to Rebel Dublin! No shiny sales pitches. No corporate jargon. We host free, no-nonsense events for Entrepreneurs, Creators, and Freelancers. We are a global community dedicated to creating a safe space for honest conversations, real learning, and the stories people usually hide—like the lowest points in the startup journey. This month, we are diving into how AI is fundamentally shaping modern startups, and more importantly, how humans actually fit into the equation. **Our Guest Speakers:** * **James Ahearne:** A Dublin-based entrepreneur building AI-powered products (AgentikAds, JamesOS) that automate growth and operations. Having built and exited businesses in foreign markets as an outsider, James believes AI makes starting a business more accessible than ever before—even if you still have a full-time job. * **Ashley Nichols:** Founder & CEO of Familiar Futures, an AI workforce adoption platform. With 15 years leading digital transformation at Accenture and PwC, and a past background as a US Diplomat, Ashley focuses heavily on bridging the "useful-to-me" gap between fancy tech and human adoption. Whether you are an AI expert, a curious freelancer, a side-hustler, or just looking to connect with a larger global community and hear inspiring Irish stories, this room is for you.

Looking for a different kind of evening in Dublin? This Thursday, NomadÉire is heading to the National Gallery of Ireland for an evening of art, culture, and conversation. We'll spend a couple of hours exploring one of Ireland's premier cultural institutions, taking in everything from classical masterpieces to contemporary works while getting to know fellow members of the community. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a casual museum-goer, or simply looking for an interesting way to spend an evening with great people, this event is for you. No art history knowledge required. Whether you are a digital nomad, remote professional, entrepreneur, creative, founder, traveler, student, or local, come join us. This is a relaxed opportunity to connect with curious and interesting people while experiencing one of Dublin's most iconic cultural destinations. What to expect: • Explore the galleries at your own pace while meeting fellow NomadÉire members. • Discover Irish and international artwork spanning centuries. • Enjoy thoughtful conversations inspired by art, culture, travel, and life in Dublin. • Meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming environment. • Optional pub visit afterward for anyone who wants to continue the evening. We'll meet outside the National Gallery of Ireland at **6:00 PM** and explore the gallery until approximately **8:00 PM**. Afterward, we'll see how the group is feeling and may head to a nearby pub for a drink and some additional conversation. Come alone or bring a friend. Either way, you'll be warmly welcomed and quickly introduced to the group. Sometimes the best conversations happen when you're wandering through a gallery with interesting people. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

**Building AI Products That Matter** explores what it really takes to turn AI ideas into products that create real business impact. Join us for an honest discussion on moving beyond experimentation, identifying meaningful problems, validating outcomes, and building AI solutions that scale in production. Expect practical insights, lessons learned, and real-world perspectives from teams actively delivering AI products. **🔹 Talk 1: Building AI Into Products: Why Some Efforts Fail Before They Begin** AI is rapidly becoming a core part of modern products, with teams increasingly able to add powerful capabilities in a matter of days. When done well, it can unlock entirely new user experiences, drive efficiency, and create meaningful competitive advantage. But while the technology has never been more accessible, successfully integrating it into real products requires more than just plugging in a model. Many teams move quickly to add AI features without first addressing the underlying foundations — particularly data quality and workflow design. The result is often inconsistent outputs, low adoption, and systems that struggle to deliver real value at scale. In practice, AI tends to amplify the strengths and weaknesses of the environment it operates in, making these prerequisites critical. **Speaker:** [Cathal Ó Riain](https://ie.linkedin.com/in/cathal-o-riain-298b8a1), Director of Data Products at Cubic³ Through roles with Accenture, Aon, Flutter and Cubic, Cathal has experience building and scaling data-driven products and AI-enabled systems in enterprise environments. In this talk, he explores the key foundations required to effectively integrate AI into products — from preparing high-quality data to embedding AI into processes where it can genuinely add value — along with practical lessons on how to set AI initiatives up for success from the outset. **🔹 Talk 2: The Customer Insights Stack: What It Really Takes to Build (And When You Shouldn't)** Every company sits on a huge amount of customer insight data - call recordings, support tickets, sales conversations - that rarely gets revisited. At the same time, building internal AI tooling has never been easier, leading many teams into a “build everything” mindset. But when building becomes cheap, deciding what’s actually worth building becomes the real challenge. Teams often end up with fragmented tools that don’t scale, are difficult to maintain, and fail to deliver clarity or adoption. **Speaker:** [Richard Blythman](https://ie.linkedin.com/in/richardblythman), Co-Founder & CEO of Naptha AI Richard has experience building both custom enterprise solutions and scalable productized platforms in this space. In this talk, he explores the spectrum from lightweight AI workflows using Claude Code to fully productionized customer insight systems, including the trade-offs, investment considerations, and performance comparisons against custom-built solutions. **What to Expect:** * **Interactive Q&A:** Bring your toughest product challenges; our speakers are ready for your questions. * **Networking:** As always, we’ll have plenty of food and drinks to fuel the conversation. It’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people from Dublin’s product community. **⚠️ RSVP & Check-in Information** Please RSVP **only if you can attend in person.** **Transport:** The venue is easily accessible via the Green Luas Line, with direct access from Dublin City Centre. Thursday, Jun 25 · 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM IST Cubic³ Office Dublin · The Hive, Carmanhall Road, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18, D18 Y2C9 See you soon!

Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else. Join us for a chat about ideas while having a pint. Meet new people, learn about new things and try something different. **PLEASE NOTE: Our events are ticketed, so you need to get a ticket to attend, RSVPING does not gain entry.** Get a ticket for €3 by using the code '***Meetupmembers'*** **[TICKETS FOR THE LAUNCH EVENT HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ideas-on-tap-1-launch-event-meetup-members-tickets-tickets-1992286108381?aff=oddtdtcreator&_gl=1*1uvpn90*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTk5NDM0OTQ3LjE3ODE5NjcwMjU.*_ga_TQVES5V6SH*czE3ODE5NjcwMjQkbzEkZzEkdDE3ODE5NjcwOTEkajYwJGwwJGgw&keep_tld=true)** This is a live lecture and talk series taking place in pubs across Dublin, Belfast, Cork, and Galway. Every event features a different speaker and theme, covering everything from science, history, psychology, philosophy, politics, film, Irish culture, and bizarre internet rabbit holes to cinema breakdowns, existential questions, and strange moments from history. One night could be about Dublin history, cult movies, or the psychology of personality. Another could explore black holes, political movements, philosophy, true crime, science fiction, or the weird side of human behaviour. After each talk there’s a live Q&A, drinks, conversation, and a chance to meet new people who are curious about the world and up for a good night out that’s a little different from the usual pub routine. We’re also looking for new speakers from all kinds of backgrounds. Academics, writers, artists, researchers, comedians, creatives, or anyone deeply obsessed with a topic they love talking about. If you’ve got an idea that could make for an unforgettable night in the pub, we want to hear it. For our first event we have mystery speakers and some quirky entertainment.

Our Spring Social event will happen on **Wednesday 24th June** in Kennedy's Pub on Westland Row (behind Trinity College) . There will be no speakers, but there will be beers, food, and general conversations about Information Security. Everyone is welcome whether you’re a pro, an amateur or just curious about the field! If you want to speak at a future event, please email us at info@dubsec.ie
