SUMMARY:Nomad AI for Good
DESCRIPTION:Dublin-based Nomad AI is launching an AI for Good session aimed at charities\, nonprofits and social enterprises in Ireland\, with the first programme session scheduled for 5 June 2026. \n\n\n\nAccording to Nomad AI’s public announcement\, the initiative is designed to help organisations working on the front lines of social impact understand how AI can be applied in practical ways. The focus is not on theory alone\, but on reducing manual work\, improving day-to-day operations and building sustainable digital habits that can continue after the session ends. \n\n\n\nThat matters because many organisations in the sector face the same operational pressure: reporting\, funding applications\, volunteer coordination and internal administration can consume significant time\, while the tools that could help are often underused because teams lack the time or budget to explore them properly. \n\n\n\nNomad AI says the AI for Good session will include an AI Basics training designed specifically for the sector\, with a focus on tools such as the Claude suite and Copilot suite. The session will also cover practical workflows relevant to charities\, along with data safety considerations for protecting donor and beneficiary information. Participants will also receive prompts they can start applying immediately in their work. \n\n\n\nThe event is being positioned as the start of a wider programme rather than a one-off session. Nomad AI has also noted that places are limited\, with strong early interest and capacity intentionally kept small for this first group. \n\n\n\nFor Dublin and Ireland’s AI ecosystem\, this is an important signal. \n\n\n\nIt shows that AI adoption is not only about startups\, product teams or large enterprises. It is also about making practical AI knowledge more accessible to organisations working in the public interest.If you want to grab one of the final spots\, email info@nomadai.ie.

SUMMARY:A Notified Body Perspective on Compliant and Responsible Use of AI
DESCRIPTION:Trinzo is continuing its 2026 virtual event series on AI in regulated environments\, with a fourth session focused on one of the most important questions facing QA\, RA and R&D teams today: what does responsible AI adoption actually look like in practice? \n\n\n\nThe session will feature Steven Byrne from Scarlet\, alongside Colm O’Rourke and Conor Flynn from Trinzo. According to the event description\, the discussion will focus on the practical realities of introducing AI into regulated teams where quality systems\, compliance requirements and oversight expectations are already deeply embedded in day-to-day work. \n\n\n\nThat is what makes this event especially relevant. \n\n\n\nAI adoption is moving quickly across life sciences and other regulated sectors. But in these environments\, the challenge is not only what AI can do. It is how AI is governed\, documented and monitored inside existing regulatory frameworks. \n\n\n\nThe session will explore themes including: \n\n\n\n\ngovernance\n\n\n\ndocumentation\n\n\n\nhuman oversight\n\n\n\nlower-risk use cases\n\n\n\nhow AI-enabled processes may be viewed through a regulatory and compliance lens\n\n\n\n\nFor teams trying to adopt AI with more confidence while maintaining inspection readiness\, this is a practical conversation worth paying attention to. \n\n\n\nAt AI Dubliners\, we see this as an important signal. \n\n\n\nSome of the most meaningful AI progress is not happening in the loudest product announcements. It is happening in the quieter work of figuring out how AI can be introduced responsibly into real-world environments where trust\, documentation and oversight matter. \n\n\n\nThat is exactly why Trinzo remains a company we continue to follow.

SUMMARY:Dogpatch Labs to Host AI in Tax\, Audit and Accounting Event on 9 July
DESCRIPTION:Dogpatch Labs will host an event on Thursday\, 9 July 2026 focused on one of the most practical questions in professional services right now: where is AI taking tax\, audit and accounting next? \n\n\n\nFor anyone working in these fields\, this looks like one of the more relevant AI events in Dublin this month. \n\n\n\nThe evening will bring together senior practitioners from across the sector for a candid conversation about how AI is already changing day-to-day work and where the next shifts may happen. The discussion will be led by Patrick Walsh\, CEO and Founder of Dogpatch Labs\, and will feature speakers including John Burke\, Director of Tax at Forvis Mazars in Ireland\, Lisa McCloskey\, Founder and Managing Director of LMC Accountants\, and Simba Mareverwa\, Partner at InnoFund. \n\n\n\nThe event will also open with short lightning talks from the founders of Kreoh\, Fineo AI and Audrey AI\, who will share examples of what is already working in practice for their clients in Ireland and beyond. \n\n\n\nThat mix is what makes the event especially interesting. \n\n\n\nThis is not being positioned as a high-level AI theory session. It is much closer to a practical industry conversation\, with space for audience Q&A\, real questions from practitioners\, and direct exchange with people already working in the field. The evening will close with networking\, pizza and drinks. \n\n\n\nAt AI Dubliners\, we see events like this as an important part of how Dublin’s AI ecosystem grows. \n\n\n\nBecause the real future of AI in professional services will not be shaped only by new tools. It will also be shaped by the conversations where practitioners decide how those tools can be used responsibly\, effectively and in ways that genuinely improve work.

SUMMARY:Trinzo to Close 2026 AI Series with Practical Session on Building AI Capability I ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Trinzo will host the fifth and final session of its 2026 AI virtual live event series on Tuesday\, 21 July 2026\, focusing on one of the most pressing questions facing regulated teams today: how do organisations move from isolated AI projects to a trusted\, repeatable AI capability? \n\n\n\nAs AI adoption accelerates across Quality\, Regulatory and R&D functions\, many organisations are finding that experimenting with AI is not the same as embedding it into everyday work. That is the challenge this session is designed to address. \n\n\n\nRather than focusing on hype or distant automation scenarios\, the event is positioned around practical delivery. It will explore how AI can support day-to-day project work across planning\, scheduling\, risk management and documentation\, while keeping experienced professionals firmly in control. \n\n\n\nThe session will feature Kathryn Cullen\, Colm O’Rourke and Conor Flynn\, and will include a live demonstration of AI applied to project management in regulated environments. According to the event description\, attendees can expect: \n\n\n\n\na live demonstration showing how AI can turn a Statement of Work into plans\, schedules\, risk registers and documentation\n\n\n\na practical Crawl\, Walk\, Run AI maturity model to help organisations assess where they are today\n\n\n\nan honest comparison of Claude\, ChatGPT and Gemini on real regulated work\n\n\n\nfive practical lessons for making AI adoption stick inside organisations\n\n\n\n\nThat is what makes this event especially relevant. \n\n\n\nIt is not simply asking whether AI works. It is asking how AI can be introduced in a way that is consistent\, trusted and compliant across regulated teams. \n\n\n\nAt AI Dubliners\, we see events like this as important signals. \n\n\n\nBecause the future of AI in regulated industries will not be shaped only by model capability. It will be shaped by how organisations build the habits\, governance and internal confidence needed to use these systems well.

SUMMARY:The TechIreland National AI Challenge 2026
DESCRIPTION:AIM Centre has opened registrations for the TechIreland National AI Challenge 2026\, returning as an official hub partner for this year’s national programme. \n\n\n\nThe challenge is designed for a wide mix of participants across Ireland. You do not need to be an AI expert to take part. According to the organisers\, participants can join with an idea and be paired with technical team members\, or join with technical skills and help bring someone else’s idea to life. \n\n\n\nThat is part of what makes the National AI Challenge 2026 stand out. \n\n\n\nThe programme brings together developers\, innovators\, founders and AI enthusiasts to work on real-world challenges over a two-week remote build period. Teams then present their projects at local demo days\, with finalists progressing to the TechIreland National AI Meet 2026 in Galway. \n\n\n\nThis year’s theme is AI & Agents: Strategy\, Processes and Roles. \n\n\n\nFor the AIM Centre community\, the key dates are: \n\n\n\n\nRegistrations Open: 20 July 2026\n\n\n\nKickoff Webinar: 12 August 2026\n\n\n\nChallenge Begins: 28 August 2026\n\n\n\nDemo Day: 14 September 2026 at AIM Centre\n\n\n\nTechIreland National AI Meet 2026: 24 September 2026 in Galway\n\n\n\n\nThe wider programme is coordinated by TechIreland in partnership with Enterprise Ireland and the European Digital Innovation Hubs Network\, and is supported by innovation hubs and ecosystem partners across the country. \n\n\n\nAt AI Dubliners\, we see this as an important ecosystem signal. \n\n\n\nBecause some of the most interesting AI ideas do not begin inside large companies. They begin when people with different skills\, different backgrounds and one strong idea are brought into the same room and given the chance to build. \n\n\n\nSearches:TechIreland LinkedIn post on the National AI Challenge 2026 \n\n\n\nRDI Hub announcement as Hub Partner

SUMMARY:AI GTM Lab Dublin: Practical AI Applications in Sales and Marketing
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is often described as a technology that will transform sales and marketing. However\, it is not always easy to see how companies are actually using AI in their daily workflows. \n\n\n\nAI GTM Lab aims to focus on practical systems and real experiences\, rather than vendor pitches or broad predictions. \n\n\n\nWhat is AI GTM Lab Dublin?\n\n\n\nOrganised by Pitstop\, the event will take place at Ashton’s in Dublin from 5pm to 9pm on Wednesday\, 2 September 2026. \n\n\n\nFollowing the Practical AI for GTM event held in May\, this second gathering will feature seven short talks. \n\n\n\nGTM\, or “go-to-market”\, describes how a company brings its product to market by connecting sales\, marketing\, customer acquisition and growth. \n\n\n\nThe speakers will explore how AI is being used across these processes\, the systems they are developing and what they are learning from their work. \n\n\n\nWho will speak at AI GTM Lab?\n\n\n\nThe confirmed speakers are: \n\n\n\n\nEmmett Kilduff\n\n\n\nSarah McDevitt\n\n\n\nMark Colgan\n\n\n\nJames Flynn\n\n\n\nScott Sampson\n\n\n\nKevin Foley\n\n\n\nRichie Choudhary\n\n\n\n\nOne practical example will come from Mark Colgan\, who will discuss an account-prioritisation dashboard designed to replace multiple open tabs and hours of manual company research. The system helps sales teams identify and focus on the right accounts. \n\n\n\nSarah McDevitt will explore why human judgement\, creativity\, empathy and trust become even more important as AI makes GTM processes faster. \n\n\n\nWhat happens after the talks?\n\n\n\nThe seven short talks will be followed by a panel discussion. The evening will continue with canapés\, drinks and an opportunity to network with GTM leaders. \n\n\n\nI previously featured Coso.ai on AI Dubliners\, so seeing its co-founder James Flynn among the speakers is particularly interesting. His participation also highlights the connection between AI products being developed in Ireland and their practical applications across sales and marketing. \n\n\n\nFor those interested in using AI as part of real sales and growth workflows\, AI GTM Lab offers an opportunity to hear directly from people developing and applying these systems. \n\n\n\nRegistration and current ticket information are available on the AI GTM Lab Eventbrite page.

SUMMARY:Dublin AI Week 2026: Bringing Dublin’s AI Communities Together
DESCRIPTION:Through AI Dubliners\, I regularly follow events\, meetups and hackathons across Dublin. And I keep noticing the same thing: the city already has a strong community of people building with artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\nBut that energy is often spread across different events\, spaces and communities. \n\n\n\nThe first Dublin AI Week aims to bring those parts together. \n\n\n\nWhat is Dublin AI Week?\n\n\n\nDublin AI Week is a community-led programme taking place across Dublin from 2 to 9 October 2026. \n\n\n\nPresented by Give(a)Go and Baseline Community + Fund\, the week will feature events hosted independently by different communities across the city. \n\n\n\nThere will be no single main stage or central conference venue. Instead\, organisers are planning 35+ free events\, including: \n\n\n\n\nHackathons and build challenges\n\n\n\nTechnical workshops and product demonstrations\n\n\n\nTalks and research paper discussions\n\n\n\nCapture the Flag cybersecurity challenges\n\n\n\nRobot-building sessions\n\n\n\nCommunity meetups\n\n\n\n\nSome events will be designed for experienced engineers and researchers. Others will welcome people using AI tools for the first time. \n\n\n\nWhy does Dublin AI Week matter?\n\n\n\nFrom what I have seen\, Dublin does not lack AI talent or community activity. The bigger opportunity is to connect that existing energy and make it more visible. \n\n\n\nThe decentralised format means people can do more than listen to presentations. They can build products\, share ideas\, meet potential collaborators and perhaps take the first step towards a new team or company. \n\n\n\nAs the organisers explain in their manifesto\, the aim is to help Dublin’s builders find each other\, share what they know and start creating together. \n\n\n\nWhat happens alongside and after Dublin AI Week?\n\n\n\nFrom 7 to 9 October\, Baseline and Frontline Ventures will host Rebase in the City. The invitation-only event aims to bring together approximately 300 founders and investors from Europe and the US. \n\n\n\nOn 14 October\, Ireland will host the International AI Summit as part of its Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The summit is a separate\, invitation-only event. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these events highlight three different layers of Dublin’s AI ecosystem: open community activity\, founder and investor connections\, and international business and policy. \n\n\n\nThrough AI Dubliners\, I will continue following the programme\, the communities taking part and the projects that emerge. \n\n\n\nThe question is no longer whether Dublin has an AI community. \n\n\n\nWhat could happen when that community becomes part of the same citywide story?
