This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and sate environment and open up about our lives freely. A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves. Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room. Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend. • **PRICE:** 5 € to cover the room (Revolut/Cash/ Paypal). Please pay the fee after the workshop. • **TIME:** We will start at 19:25 and finish at 20:55. Please be on time, to respect other members in the group. • **VENUE:** We are meeting at the Abbey Presbyterian Church - Parnell Square N, Rotunda, Dublin 1 (entrance on the side of Frederick St.). The room is on the first floor, at the back on your left. • **NOTE:** Even though the event is held in a religious institution, the group and the event are entirely secular and the exercises are by no means related to spirituality or religion.

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**. We have a presale https://buy.stripe.com/9B600ifW41lPbz43Re9R606 you can save 25% by getting your ticket before the event. ### **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.**

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**.

📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives. Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬 It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**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 “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve 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. She’ll 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 we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using 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 FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
