News and announcements were quiet this week but as usual we will bring you links to some local publications and meetup groups.
It is Tech Week in Dublin. On Wednesday and Thursday the Dublin Tech Summit is in town at the Conference center in Dublin. I was planning on attending but it's sold out.
This event will not be focused on Crypto but it would be interesting to hear about technology developments particularly in Industries such as finance where we will see Crypto featuring more and more.
