Making Better Product Decisions in the Age of AI

⌖ Dublin

Hosted by Give(a)Go

Women Who Build is a hands-on building evening in Dublin on 6 October 2026, helping women and curious creators turn ideas into working projects. Hosted by Give(a)Go, this practical three-hour session creates the time, space and supportive atmosphere you need to make progress on something of your own. Rather than spending the evening listening to talks, you’ll bring a laptop, choose an idea and get building alongside an ambitious community in Dublin. You do not need a polished concept or particular technical background to take part. The event celebrates women across every field, but everyone is welcome regardless of background, discipline or skill level. If you have been waiting for permission, momentum or a clear evening in your calendar to begin a project, this is an opportunity to start. If you do not yet have an idea, the hosts will help you find one. What you could build Your project can be professional, entrepreneurial, community-focused or entirely personal. Possibilities suggested by the organisers include: - A portfolio that reflects who you are and what you do - A landing page for a new project or business - A small tool that solves an everyday frustration - A website for a community, cause or personal interest - The side project you have repeatedly put off The focus is on turning an idea into something tangible. You can arrive at any stage, from a blank page to an existing project that needs a dedicated push, and use the main build session in whatever way is most useful to you. Evening schedule - 6:00pm: Doors open - 6:20pm: Welcome and introductions - 6:40pm: Focused build time - 8:20pm: Networking and wind-down - 9:00pm: Close Networking is optional. If you would rather concentrate on building throughout the evening, tell a host and they will help make sure you have the space to focus. The session is hosted by Give(a)Go alongside Micaela Serraiocco and Avanti Rao. Give(a)Go is one of Ireland’s largest builder communities, connecting more than 2,500 engineers, founders and product people through hands-on prototyping events. You can also join the Give(a)Go community.… Register for this event
