This coming Monday, that’s Monday April 30, sees the next installment of the über cool Dublin Beta gathering. For those who are interested, Dublin Beta is a must attend event for start-ups working in new technology and digital media, as well as those who have an interest in such things. It takes place at Dublin’s Lost Society, South William Street, from 6-9pm.
The event is based on the San Francisco model (SF Beta), which is Silicon Valley’s largest start-up mixer.
Dublin Beta isn’t a typical start-up pitch event, it’s more open-ended with a “pitches and pints, minus the PowerPoint” vibe going on.
Obviously there’ll be conversation, networking, and community building and twelve Irish start-ups will carry out informal demos of their products and services. Dublin Beta is free for start-ups who wish to demo.
This Beta will, for the first time in Ireland, also see three Irish start-ups actually launch their companies. Exciting stuff.

What type of people will attend?
Dublin Beta’s anticipated 300+ person audience consists of several key groups: • Founders and C-Level executives of emerging start-ups • PR, Marketing, and Business Development professionals • Digital media professionals working within brands and agencies • Investors, bloggers, and key influencers in the emerging technology ecosystem.
