Every Monday at 7.45 in the F2 Rialto. 12 euros. All Welcome.
Freeform dancing, stretching, rolling around and playing with anything dance related. No experience necessary!
Electronics Night
These are our regular Monday evening electronics nights. Everyone from absolute beginner to experienced is welcome. These evenings are not classes or tutorials, rather a very friendly informal evening.
We have a wide range of people who come. Some are absolute beginners who do not even work or study electronics, but are interested to know more. Others have something that they are already working on. We almost always have some first time visitors and we always give them a tour of the space.
Come in with your Pi, Arduino, or whatever you have. Bring your laptop. Maybe you want to make something, solder, breadboard or use our electronic gear. Maybe you have some vague ideas and just want to get started. Or maybe you’re just curious……if so, it’s fine to come along and just see what others are doing.
If you would like to get even more involved and have the full use of our space, we would be delighted to have you as a full member. Membership brings many benefits.
We are located behind Mr Price and the Bright Lights store on Kylemore Road. We have lots of free parking available.

Maker Night - Work on 3D projects using laser cutter, 3D Printer at TOG
**Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?**
TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project.
All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make.
This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers.
We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist.
Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.
Gay Men’s Circle – April 27
Most places we meet other gay men are bars, apps, or busy social scenes. This is something a little different.
Gay Men’s Circle is a relaxed evening where you can connect with other men in a more real and grounded way. No pressure to perform, impress, or have the right words. Some men share what’s going on in their lives. Others simply listen and take in the conversation. Both are completely welcome. Many people say they rarely get the chance to spend time with other gay men like this. It is often surprisingly refreshing.
No experience with circles or men’s work is needed. Just come along and see how it feels.
### Practical details
Please bring **€5 to cover the cost of the room**
No entry **10 minutes after the start time**
We meet **downstairs in the Theatre Room**
Ring the **front door bell** to get in (the café is closed on Mondays)
If you RSVP and cannot make it, please update your RSVP so someone else can attend.

Public Speaking Monday Meetup - New Location
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.

Lightning talk : "Post library" ? Generic multimedia programming with Avendish
Hello Everyone,
For this meetup, I'll present a lightning talk that touches on early reflection in 2020, and where we are now.
I am a doctoral candidate at Maynooth university where I work on the ossia.io software. I have been involved with this software for a number of years, and this talk will present its plugin system called Avendish. We sometimes call it a “post library” because it is not really a library.... It has implication well beyond ossia.io, and introduced an approach in 2020 that resembles a number of recent projects leavening c++26 reflections.
As always, the good folks at Anseo are graciously letting us use their room! You can get a drink downstairs and bring it up to the room.
Avendish git repository : https://github.com/celtera/avendish
Avendish Documentation : https://celtera.github.io/avendish
Our matrix chat is : https://matrix.to/#/#cppdug:gitter.im
And videos of past talks can be found on this peertube instance:

See you then !

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 ask if you consider to buy a drink at the bar upon arrival and support their venue and 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?**

Teaching computer architecture with children's games
**Talk 2- Talk 2: From standing admin to Zero Standing Privileges: what modern PAM looks like** by Ricardo Melero
Most incidents turn into breaches when attackers reach privileged access—shared admin accounts, long-lived secrets, over-permissioned roles, and unmanaged vendor access. This session breaks down what “modern PAM” actually means in 2026 and how teams can move toward Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP): time-bound, scoped, verified access with full session visibility and auditability.
If you would like to speak at this event or at any future Dub\|Sec\, please email us at [info@dubsec.ie](http://info@dubsec.ie/)!
Join us for some drinks, food and general chat about infosec. Everyone is welcome whether you’re a pro, an amateur or just curious about the field!
[FREE] 📵 The Offline Photo Walk 📸 | Liffey Landscapes & Architecture
**The perfect way to see Dublin through a new lens.** 🏙️✨
**We’re teaming up with our wonderful community member,** **Angie,** for a creative afternoon stroll as we capture the soul of the city—without the digital distractions 📵. This isn't about "the 'gram"; it's about the art of looking. We’re putting our phones on aeroplane mode and picking up our cameras to focus on the lines, light, and life along the River Liffey.
Angie loves capturing the hidden details of the city, and she’ll be co-hosting this walk to help us all find those perfect angles and unique perspectives.
🥾 The Route:
We’ll meet at the iconic **Samuel Beckett Bridge** and wind our way down the quays. We’ll be hunting for the best angles of Dublin’s architectural gems, including the **Custom House**, **Liberty Hall**, and the historic **Ha’penny Bridge**, where we will finish our journey.
* **Duration:** Approximately 2 hours.
* **The Finish Line:** For those who fancy a treat and a chat, we’ll head to **Cinnamood** on O’Connell Street afterwards for some coffee and their famous cinnamon rolls! ☕️🌀
***
📵 The Vibe:
Before we set off, we’ll tuck our "connected" selves away and chat while creating art! 📸
**Build Connection:** Even though we stay offline during the walk, the connection doesn’t end there!
After the event, we’ll encourage everyone to share their favourite "snaps" of the day our **WhatsApp group**. It’s a lovely way to see how everyone saw the same city through different eyes. 🖼️🤝
***
🕰️ The Schedule:
* **12:30 \|** Meet at the Samuel Beckett Bridge.
* **12:45 \|** Photo Walk begins.
* **14:30 \|** Arrival at Ha'penny Bridge & optional coffee at Cinnamood.
***
🐥 What to bring:
* **📷 Your Camera:** Whether it’s a professional DSLR, a film camera, or just your phone (strictly for photos—no scrolling!).
* **👟 Comfortable Shoes:** We’ll be on our feet for about 2 hours.
* **🌦️ Rain Gear:** It’s Dublin! Let's be prepared for all four seasons.
* **💛 Yourself:** No "content" creation required, just your creative eye. You can also just come to socialise, we love those walks together!
***
🎟️ Tickets & Support:
This walk is **free/donation-based**. We believe offline creative time should be accessible to everyone. If you’d like to support our mission and help us organise more of these events, any contribution is warmly welcomed! 💛
**⚠️ Liability:** *Please note that everyone is responsible for their own safety and personal possessions during the walk. Let’s look out for one another!*
We can't wait to see the city through your eyes!
***Please do not worry if there are not many attendees on meetup - we also host our tickets on [Luma](https://luma.com/theofflineclubdublin) \- the events always happen\!***

Tango & Milonga: Practice and Social in Dublin
We practice, dance, and enjoy a BYOB bottle of your favorite wine at the Dublin Ballroom off Sawmill, North, and “milonga” is a social event for tango dancing where dancers socialize. A “*practica*” is an informal social event for tango dancing where dancers focus on practicing the dance; while a “*practilonga*” combines the relaxed atmosphere of a “*practica*” with the format of a “milonga.” We are doing it all!
***Cost is $10 payable to the Teacher.*** *Cost is for the cost of the venue and covers some snacks.* We have had fun doing this event in the past. Please arrive promptly as lessons begin at 2pm. Don't worry about bringing a partner as there will be others at the event from outside the group that: a) might have a clue and b) won't step on your toes.
The event is BYOB (similar to our Salsa events), so bring your favorite and a wine glass. We will likely find a place for dinner and drinks after the dance.
IxDA Chat ‘n Pancakes
