We’re lucky enough to be taking part in some exciting events over the next few weeks, in Dublin and abroad. If you’re around, stop by — we’re always up for a chat.

Google Analytics Authorised Consultant Summit

October 13-16, San Francisco, California

As we speak, Niamh and Clodagh are in California, Google-speaking with other GA consultants from all over the world. We’ll get an update from them on their return: in the meantime, they’re busy eating UTMX cookies. Follow all the GAACS happenings on Twitter (and then follow it some more).

Irish Internet Association workshop | Driving Self Service Online

Tuesday, October 20th, Engineers Ireland, Dublin

Due to Beatles-esque unruly crowds, Colin is giving us a repeat of his Bootcamp course, how to reduce costs by driving self service online. He’s gathered new case studies since June, so the course is new and improved.

Sign up today using the voucher code ‘iQ’ and you’ll get €50 off the workshop price.

Defuse: Design for Use

Tuesday, November 3rd, Sugar Club, Dublin

As part of Design Week, Brian will be one of the 12 speakers braving the Ignite format: 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide. The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) of Dublin are presenting this free event — there’s probably no better way to spend a Tuesday evening. Follow Defuse on Twitter.

Design week’s design challenge

November 6th-7th, Morgan Hotel and Digital Exchange, Dublin

Design Week continues with a day and night design-a-thon, and Conor and John have entered this 24 hour design challenge. Five teams armed with different design disciplines will work through the night to produce a concept for their design sponsor: a member of the public who represents a significant challenge. We’ll be covering this live on the blog, and you can stop by Digital Exchange afterwards to watch the awards ceremony (and mock our sleep deprivation).
