Real AI, Real Impact - A Festival of AI Roundtables 🎉🤖
Dublin AI Week is going to be full of hackathons, pitch competitions, and panels - people building under pressure. All good stuff. This one's different.
In collaboration with
Give(a)Go, turning this month's
Rebel Meetups by Rebellious Co into a festival - six tables, six founders who are actually using AI to grow and solve real problems in their business. No stage, no slides, no pitch decks. Just pull up a chair, grab a drink, and talk to someone doing the thing you're curious about.
Come with your questions. Leave with real answers on how to actually use AI as a growth lever - not hype, not theory, just what's worked for people doing it right now.
Meet the hosts:
🎙️
James Flynn: Co-founder,
coso.ai. From competitive eSports to Salesforce engineer to building AI agents that already run social media for 30+ businesses.
🎙️
Craig Maguire: Country Manager,
Office Hub Ireland. AI across flexible workspace strategy, marketing, and commercial real estate - an industry that's always run on relationships first.
🎙️
David Martin: Founder,
BuyerRadar. 15+ years in B2B SaaS scaling revenue teams to $20M ARR, now building the tool that fixes sales' real problem — fragmentation — by mapping ICPs and buying committees.
🎙️
Aaron McCormack: Founder,
NobleFlow. Works with owner-run businesses too busy to systemise themselves - finding where time and money leak out, then building the fix.
🎙️
Ashley Nichols: Founder & CEO,
Familiar Futures. Her thesis: there's no AI skills gap, only a useful-to-me gap. Ex-digital transformation (Accenture, PwC, Booz Allen), former US diplomat, author of Tech to Save the World.
🎙️
James McLaughlin: Founder,
AIceBreaker. Helping Irish SMEs govern AI usage, train teams, and adopt AI without losing the people-first approach that makes them work.
Six different businesses, one shared belief: AI's a skill, not a replacement, and the people running these businesses are still very much running them.
No dress code. No sales pitches. Just people, real conversation, and a proper celebration of what AI can actually do.
