Hi!!
|
|
There was a time during the years of compiling the Dublin Event Guide week after week when I was keenly interested in the number of readers on Facebook and the e-mail opening stats etc. I certainly am still interested, it would be silly not to care. But a lot of the social media figures are “vanity metrics”: It doesn’t really make much of a difference unless you are selling something and customer don’t buy.
|
|
|
|
So now I still check every so often, but not multiple times over the weekend. Why do I still care? Because I do “sell” something. I sell information (for free) and if nobody was interested, I should use my time for something that leaves a bigger impression on people.
|
|
Just before starting this weeks “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)”, I had a look and last week’s Facebook post was seen by over 17,000 people and I have to be honest with you: It feels good that even after 860 editions, there are still thousands and thousands of people interested. Thank you!
|
|
17,000 is not a bad number, but being TOTALLY biased, I think more people could benefit from the information! This is where you come in: If you agree with me, tell people about the Dublin Event Guide. Tell your friends, your colleagues, your family, your neighbours, the person on the bus, LUAS, Dart next to you, just everybody. ;-) You will make me happy if you do! :-)

Have you heard of ChatGPT? Gemini? Perplexity? Claude? Meta AI? Midjourney? Dall-E? Leonard? You.com? They are all Artificial Intelligence projects that already have an impact on this world and – at least some of them – will change our lives in a way that most of us can’t anticipate yet.
|
|
You can wait until it happens and let it happen to you, OR you can find out now what might happen, so that you have awareness of it and maybe even influence it with your opinion and the dialogue about it that we can create.
|
 |
|
I will tell you in very simple terms what is coming our way in my next “Introduction to AI and ChatGPT” class. This is a free and completely non-technical overview for everyone of the good and bad sides of Artificial Intelligence. The class is 2 hours long via Zoom and will happen on a weekday in the near future (no date set yet).
|
|
If you are interested in finding out more so that you can form an informed opinion, join me at this class. To do that send a mail to AIClass AT inspiringleadershipacademy.com and I will tell you about the next class or alternatively sign up for information via joerg.ourpage.link/AICourse
If you have signed up of have sent a mail and have not heard from me yet. don’t worry! You will soon!

Donations in May:
EUR 144
|
|
(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)
|
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
|
|
The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.
|
|
|
|
Last week Mary, Sinead, Niamh, Carmel, Muire, Annie, Maria, Geraldine, Kieran and Mark helped with a donation. WOW! Thank you so much!! Your help and support is much appreciated by me and (hopefully) by all other readers of the Dublin Event Guide, because without you, the Dublin Event Guide couldn’t continue!
|
|
With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.
|
 |
|
Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.
|
|
To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)
|
 |
|
In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)
|
|
To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |
|
And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?
Thank you!!

Please note: To speed up the creation of the weekday section of the Dublin Event Guide, I am experimenting with a few minor changes. One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now). If you don’t know where the venue is, you will find it by checking the event link.

I will be on stage with the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir, but I won’t tell you yet what I will do on stage. ;-) But what I can tell you is that the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir made a pair of tickets available for a Dublin Event Guide reader. If you want to win the tickets, you will have to send a mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with the subject line “THE GSGC” and in the body of the mail you have to tell me your full name and your mobile phone number.

+++ Culture Date with Dublin 8

A lot of events are added above for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but there are more. Check out www.culturedatewithdublin8.ie/whats-on

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! – Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)
