Networking for founders, creators, freelancers + rebels ⚡
**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.
Dub|Sec Summer Social
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
Dublin's Newest Language Exchange
Most language exchanges are built around **movement**. —fast rotations, brief chats, surface-level conversation.
New table. New person. Start again.
It feels productive. It isn’t.
Real conversations don’t happen in 10 minutes.
They start there. Then they get interesting.
At Flip Lingoes, **you stay.**
Same table. Same group. Enough time for real conversation and real connection, beyond the surface level.
Every 5 minutes, you switch roles: **fluent speaker ↔ learner**, not people.
Before you arrive, **[create a profile here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/)**[,](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/) tell us what language you're learning.
This helps our **automated matching algorithm** put you in the right small group.
No awkward searching. No guesswork. Simply scan the QR code on arrival and it automatically matches you with fluent speakers of your target language.
We host events at Zanzibar Locke: calm, well-designed, easy to hear, easy to focus.
***
**Event Flow**
6:45–7:15 → Seamless check-in (QR code, get matched, sit down)
7:15–8:30 → Language Exchange (structured, focused)
8:30 → Optional social + snacks included
**Crispy chicken wings. Cheesy loaded nachos.** Straight from Zanzibar Locke’s kitchen. Perfect for chatting, relaxing, and refueling after a great language session.
**Entry:** €8 (tasty snacks included)
**Bundles:** 4 events €24 \| 10 events €50\, purchase [here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/?pricing_filter=in_person#bundles-section) in advance for express check in. Save time and money.
**Be generous and invite a friend for free:**
It's simple. Create a profile [here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/), log in, and click “**Invite Friend** to sign up.” It generates a link and you send that to them. Easy and your friend will thank you later ;)
If they register for the event before you, you both get free entry.🙌
\*P.S We kindly ask you to purchase a drink at the bar upon arrival and support the venue and their excellent hospitality in the heart of Dublin.
**Why Flip Lingoes works:**
* Go deeper: longer conversations at the same table
* Speak with the right people via automated matching
* Smooth, calm, focused environment
* Fun social finish
If you’re tired of restarting conversations and want to **actually speak beyond the greeting and small talk**, this is your place.
[Flip Lingoes](https://www.fliplingoes.com) is a new and innovative language exchange event, with a clear vision: **To upgrade language exchange events online and in cities around the world.** Currently in Dublin, Zurich and Online. **Can you guess our next city?**

📚 Silent Reading & Socialising 🍺
## Details
The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-)
📝 **How does this work?**
Since weather is bright this week, let’s meet in Stephen’s green opposite to James Joyce statue. Here is the location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DX2AX2xYNTkU88Vq7?g_st=ic. If you’re unable to find us, join the group to find us. At 8, we will head to Bartley’s!
**During silent reading, you're expected to remain silent and read.** Please bring your headphones and refrain from the discussion during the first one hour in the area.
👥 **Socialising**
After an hour, at 8:15 PM, we'll discuss and socialize about the book you're reading. 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!
Feel free to join at any point during the event.
The event is indoors, hopefully, we can continue the tradition of the silent reading in the winter!
**📌 Helpful Tips and Notes**
* Bring headphones to block out surrounding noise
* I will post a comment on the event page when I arrive to indicate where we're seated, so everyone can find us
* If you prefer to skip the silent reading, you can join directly at the bar at 8:15 PM
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Looking forward to meeting you all 😊

OpenClaw: Applied usecases
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3](www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3)**
"A capable agent is one that replies. A valuable agent is one that handles real work."
This is the third installment in the OpenClaw series, shifting focus toward practical application—deploying built agents into real workflows across customer support, go-to-market, engineering, and QA. The event features a self-directed, table-group format where attendees work at their own pace alongside others pursuing similar goals.
What we'll work through together
• Customer support automation: triaging, drafting, routing, resolving without the back-and-forth
• GTM workflows: lead research, outreach drafting, CRM updates, follow-up sequences
• Engineering tasks: PR summaries, issue triage, documentation, test generation
• QA and ops: automated checks, error monitoring, reporting pipelines
• Building for your domain: scoping the right use case and wiring it up end to end
Bring a laptop. Bring a running agent. Have a workflow in mind you'd love to hand off.

Now make it genuinely useful.
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register on here for a valid ticket:** [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3](www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3)
This is the second day in the OpenClaw series. We're going deeper: memory that actually persists across conversations, a knowledge base it can draw on, skills that connect it to the tools you already use, and workflows that handle a whole process end to end. These are the things that turn an interesting agent into something you actually rely on.
Self-directed, table-group format. You work at your own pace, in your own direction, with people around you doing the same.
**What we'll work through together**
* Memory architecture: short-term, long-term, episodic and how to set them up properly
* Knowledge bases: connecting your own docs and notes so the agent can draw on them
* Good skills to add: which integrations are worth the effort (Notion, email, calendar, GitHub)
* Giving access to tools: MCP, APIs, function calling
* Proper workflows: multi-step, conditional, handling a whole process and not just one message
* Sandboxing: running actions safely without breaking things or leaking data

BullIsland Beach Volleyball :)
Hi all, lets meet at 12h to play Beach Volleyball in BullIsland, near the car park on the "Statue of Our Lady, Star Of The Sea" side of BullIsland. From Clontarf Rd cross over "The Wooden Bridge" and keep going on until the end, turn left when you see the beach car park and keep going to the left. We will set the nets beside the car park 😉 Please avoid to park at the beach because the car can get stuck on the sand. If you come by car park as soon as you find space and then walk.
The idea is to have lunch at the beach and play beach volleyball. Please bring water, sun glasses (for the sand more than the sun) and sun cream (even when it's cloudy you can still get burned with the wind).
I would love to create another lovely healthy group to have fun with and enjoy the weather whenever it's possible. All levels are welcome because the goal is to have fun and do some exercise.
Any questions please contact me over the phone: 0876819433, or put a comment on this Meetup. Please bear in mind that on the same day of the event it'll be driving so give me a phone call if you are lost.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber

**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
