The Marketing Meetup is a global community for marketers, and the marketing-curious. This is your space to keep up to date and meet like minds, in an environment that prioritises kindness and learning you can actually put into action.
We’re heading Abbey Capital’s beautiful space on Stephens Green for this event, where the vibes are chill and friendly, and you’ll be welcomed in with big smiles and cheerful chat 🙂
Come say hello, grab a snack, listen to a speaker or two to get the ideas flowing, and savour the time to have real conversations with real humans. No selling or networking bingo, just good people being good people.
This is the kind of night where you walk home at the end thinking, “I’m not the only one, after all.”
Let’s have a fab night with some fab people. You’re invited, of course.

Speakers: Diana Byrne, Founder at Clarity, and El Etherington, Head of Events at The Marketing Meetup
Topic: Taking the Ick out of networking
Networking can feel awkward, performative and, frankly, a bit icky. This session is about making it feel more natural, useful and human, with practical tips to help you start better conversations, meet people with more confidence and build relationships that actually go somewhere.
You can expect the following actionable takeaways;
– How to network without feeling salesy, awkward or forced.
– Simple ways to start conversations, join groups and make connecting feel easier.
– How to build genuine relationships through curiosity, value exchange and thoughtful follow-up.

A heartfelt thank you to our brilliant supporters. We literally couldn’t do this without them.
Supported by Clarity, a marketing transformation partner and the only consultancy in Ireland that specialises exclusively in Lean Thinking for Marketing.
Clarity works with marketing leaders and teams who are busy, stretched, and know there’s a better way to operate, but aren’t sure how to get there. Instead of adding more tools, more campaigns, or more pressure, Clarity focuses on fixing how the work actually flows. Removing the friction, cutting out what doesn’t matter, and helping teams spend more time on work that delivers real results. The result is marketing that feels more in control, delivers more impact, and frees up time without burning people out.

Tickets are pay-what-you-like, from EUR 5 to EUR 50 (the average price folks choose is EUR 11.38 🙂
We genuinely mean it when we say everyone is welcome here. So, if the minimum donation is a stretch right now, please just reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com. We’ll always do our best to include you.
If you know a marketer who’d love this, please do pass it on. This community grows one person at a time, thanks to the wonderful members – like you – spreading the word.
Just one little ask: if you sign up and can’t make it, please let us know so we can offer your spot to someone else. We know that certain things crop up (we’re only human!), but after three unnotified no-shows we’ll need to prioritise other community members, out of fairness to everyone who puts time and heart into making these evenings happen. 🙂

See you there!
