Back by popular demand! Put your knowledge to the test at a data privacy table quiz. "It's more fun than it sounds" - Quizzer, 2025

Think you know what the Internet knows about you?

Our quiz is back by popular demand! After a packed out quiz last year, we’re returning for one night only this year. Join us for a fun, social and eye-opening table quiz that'll put your knowledge of the hidden world of online tracking to the ultimate test.

Grapple with questions like:

• How long would it take to read all the terms & conditions the average internet user accepts in a year?
• What did RTÉ journalists get from a data broker, with surprising ease, last year?
• Which tech billionaire once killed a goat with a stun gun and served it cold to the boss of Twitter?

What to expect:

• Brain-teasing questions that reveal the hidden world of personal data.
• A fun, relaxed & social atmosphere - no tech expertise required!
• Prizes for the top team who prove they're the true privacy champions.

Whether you're a privacy novice or a seasoned security pro, you'll learn something new, have a great Monday night out and leave with a better understanding of how to be more in control of your digital life.

Grab your friends, form a team (or join one when you arrive!), and let's play "Who Do THEY Think You Are?"

Date: Monday, 9 November

Time: doors at 19.00; quiz starts at 19.30

Location: Lucky's, 78 Meath Street, Dublin 8

Who do THEY think you are? is led by Wove Design, with ADAPT Centre, Beta Festival and NCAD as partners.

Who is really in control of AI? Tech and media experts debate trust, regulation and what artificial intelligence means for everyday life.

Artificial intelligence is changing the world at extraordinary speed. But who is really in control? From the news we read and the information we trust to the jobs we do and the decisions being made about our future, AI is already having a profound impact on everyday life.

So, should we be excited, worried or a bit of both? Can we trust what we see and hear? Who is regulating this rapidly developing technology, and what happens when the machines get it wrong?

Joining the conversation are Theo McDonald, Senior Producer at Web Summit and current affairs commentator; Elaine Burke, award-winning technology journalist and host of the For Tech's Sake podcast; and Paul Hayes, founder and CEO of technology communications company Beachhut. Bringing together perspectives from technology, journalism and communications, this promises to be a lively and accessible discussion about one of the biggest changes facing society, and what it means for all of us.

Over 18s only. 16 and 17 year olds welcome when accompanied by an adult.
