Software Engineering Events in Dublin 8

This is the widest category on Brainberg, because software engineering itself spans a huge range of events: language user groups (Python, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Elixir, Ruby, Zig), framework communities (React, Svelte, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Django, NixOS), backend architecture tracks, testing and QA tracks (ISTQB certification courses, mutation testing, test-automation workshops), refactoring and DDD circles, hackathons, and the long tail of "thoughtful engineering" meetups that don't fit neatly under any specific stack.

This page narrows the Dublin 8 calendar to Software Engineering events. It's a subset of Ireland's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

The GEC AI Forum are excited to invite you to our upcoming in-person session designed specifically to help AI startups navigate the high-stakes world of software-as-a-service.

Rather than focusing on theoretical business frameworks, this event brings you real talk and actionable strategies from seasoned tech leaders who have survived the grind. It is an ideal opportunity to engage in peer-to-peer support, learn directly from industry veterans, and expand your professional network within the Dublin ecosystem.

We are delighted to feature two highly accomplished guest speakers who will share their firsthand experiences of overcoming scaling friction and market shifts:

Jerome Forde is the founder and CEO of HR Duo, an all-in-one workforce management platform that automates HR compliance and payroll operations for complex industries. With over 30 years of human resources experience, Jerome transitioned traditional workforce management practices into a rapidly growing tech stack, recently securing millions in funding to fuel major international expansions. He will provide crucial insights into managing the underlying software engine, maintaining regulatory guardrails, and sustaining explosive annual recurring revenue growth.

Colm Brady is an accountant by profession and the CEO and co-founder of RentalMatics, a powerful global SaaS telematics platform built specifically for the vehicle rental and mobility sector. Colm has steered the company from its initial days as a localized IoT startup into an award-winning global provider supporting prominent global brands across Europe, North America, and Australia. He will share practical lessons on translating complex real-time data into a high-value subscription product, selling to major enterprise clients, and managing global operations.

During this interactive panel, both founders will unpack the realities of the SaaS grind, detailing everything from customer acquisition hurdles to product-market fit adjustments. This session is tailored for AI innovators looking to build repeatable revenue models and avoid common traps in software scaling.
