About
The AI event week in Dublin before the International AI Summit.
Dublin AI Week is a community-led, week-long celebration of AI and technology in Dublin, Ireland, presented by Give(a)Go. From October 2-9, 2026, thousands of AI product builders and founders gather across about 35 events citywide.
It runs in the week leading up to the International AI Summit (October 14, 2026), which Ireland hosts in Dublin as part of its EU Council presidency. Come for the week, then stay for the summit.
The week includes Pressure Cooker, the startup hackathon, and closes into Rebase, a Founder/Investor conference run with Baseline Fund, before the International AI Summit.
Leading into the International AI Summit
In October 2026, Ireland hosts the International AI Summit in Dublin as part of its EU Council presidency. Dublin AI Week runs in the days beforehand, so the builders, hackers, and product people already coming to the city - everyone trying out, building with, and shipping AI - have a full week of community events, hackathons, and meetups to be part of.
