TICKETS:- Early Bird - €5 / person Regular Ticket - €10 / person Cash at meetup: If you do not purchase a ticket in advance then you can pay Lara cash of €15 when you attend. **Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-** \- We will meet at 7\.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink\. \- From about 7\.30 to 8\.30 we will run the fast friending system\. Half of the group \(mixed gender\) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group \(mixed gender\) will be asked to rotate\. During these intervals\, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other\. \- Lara will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process\. She will indicate when you should move to the next person\. \- From 8\.30 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others\. If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Lara will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside. \- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\! \- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\. \- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 45 age group\. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in\-between\! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range\. \- We are not a dating group\. Our events are not organised to manage your dating life\. Our group is created to help ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents\. Please do not attend our event if a perfect gender balance is important for your enjoyment of our meet\-up\. Why do we have tickets? 1.

**⚡ AI & Coffee – In-Person Meetup in Luxembourg** We’re hosting the next event on Sunday 8th March from 15h00-17h00 in Updown Bar (Downstairs) Based on the great feedback last time, feel free to bring your laptops if you’d like to show your work. People were very open to sharing approaches and projects, which sparked some truly deep conversations. Looking forward to meeting you all again, and also welcoming those who couldn’t make it last time. AI is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up alone. The best way to make sense of it is by meeting others, exchanging ideas, and hearing fresh perspectives. That’s what this meetup is about. ☕ We’ll gather in a local café for open conversations about: * AI news and trends (what’s real, what’s hype) * Sharing projects, ideas, and feedback * Supporting each other and creating new stories * Building connections with like-minded people 👥 **Who’s welcome?** Developers, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, students, researchers, creatives — and anyone simply curious about AI. 💡 **What to expect** * Casual atmosphere, no commitment, no pressure * The host will share small icebreakers and sparks of AI news * The rest is up to you: meet, talk, connect, and exchange 🎉 The only cost is your own coffee or drink. Bring your curiosity and an open mind — and let’s build one of the most exciting AI communities in the area.

Let’s meet on the last day of February for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon together. This meetup is for people who enjoy meaningful conversations, emotional awareness, and authentic exchanges, the kind that leave you feeling both lighter and more alive. 🌟 What to expect A small circle of open-minded humans, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing self-reflection, philosophy, psychology or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. There is no fixed topic. The conversation flows on its own.🪄 To give you a sense, here are some topics that emerged last time: - If you have lived in different places and cultures for many years, can you still define your origin as where you were born? - How to find peace and calm (inspired by Indian philosophy). - If someone behaves differently from most people in a system, are they wrong? (I’ve shared my perspective on this topic [[click here](https://www.instagram.com/p/DTqk5t6Avy_/?igsh=MXBhemd5ZTE1dnFzcQ==) ], feel free to add your own in comments 💬. ) - Where would you like to spend your retirement, and why? - How to position yourself as an expat in a country like Luxembourg. - Cultural differences around complaining: in some cultures it’s negative, in others it’s seen as necessary for change. - Human energy, presence, and “frequency” — and how we influence it. - … and more. 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Bouneweger Stuff 📅 Date: Saturday, February 28, 2026 🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually (If you can’t attend, please cancel so someone else can take the spot.) If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, openness to different perspectives, and conversations that have a life of their own - you are very welcome to join. ✨

Join us for a relaxed café-style gathering where good conversation, meaningful connections, and positive energy take center stage. Expect cosy vibes, thoughtful prompts, laughter, and a few “aha” moments as we share stories, listen to different perspectives, and reflect on what lifts us up in everyday life. **Optional :** * How does the brain process happiness? Which parts of the brain are activated? * a game related to the topic

***THERE ARE BIG SCREENS FOR THE START OF THE WINTER OLYMPICS*** 👍 After being cooped up all week with this snow and cold, it’s a great time to get up out of the house and join us for a fun time at the Pint House!! **Come anytime during 4-8. Stay as long as you want. No set time*** **WE’RE NOW IN A BIGGER AREA!** It’s a chance to meet people in our age group regardless if you’re in your fifties, sixties or seventies!

*Happy Hour fans?* Each month, our group is going to try to meet at some of the best happy hours around town! This month, let's meet for drinks and small bites at **[Rail Craft Kitchen](https://www.railcraftkitchen.com/menu?menu=happy-hour#1)** in Dublin on Frantz Road. *Happy Hour is 3-6pm weekdays*. Every drink or shareable is only $6.00! **Happy Hour** is inherently social. It’s a time when people come together to unwind and enjoy each other’s company. For many, it’s a way to catch up with friends, network with colleagues, or simply meet new people in a relaxed setting. The casual atmosphere of happy hour encourages conversation, making it easier to bond over shared interests and experiences.
