Dublin Comic Con returns to the Convention Centre Dublin on March 15th and 16th, and we are excited to be taking part in the Spring Edition! As Ireland’s leading pop culture event, Dublin Comic Con is a celebration of movies, TV shows, comics, cosplay, and gaming—a must-visit for fans of all things geeky.
We will have a fan table on both days, where we’ll be showcasing amazing projects built by our members. Whether you’re into electronics, 3D printing, or creative making, come by and see what’s possible in our community makerspace. It’s a great chance to chat with us, learn more about Tog, and get inspired to start your own projects.
Be sure to drop by and say hello—we’d love to meet you!

We are hosting the Dublin Linux Community.
Showcase a project you like or something you’ve worked on recently. There’s a projector screen in the space that you can hook your laptop up to. It doesn’t have to be anything super professional! If you think it’s interesting then other people probably will too!
We will also have a swap shop for any random tech and gadgets that you think might be useful to someone else. Please note that you do not need to be a member of TOG to attend but if you are interested in joining we will be doing tours of the space if you’re interested in joining.

We are excited to announce that we will have a stand at the Phoenix Amateur Radio Club Annual Radio Rally on Sunday, February 16th, 2025. The event will take place at Coolmine Community School, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.
This rally is a great opportunity for amateur radio enthusiasts, electronics hobbyists, and makers to come together, exchange ideas, and explore the latest in radio technology. Whether you’re a licensed operator, an SWL (shortwave listener), or just curious about the world of radio, there will be plenty to see and do.
At our stand, we’ll be showcasing some of the projects and activities from Tog Hackerspace, including:
We’re always eager to chat about all things radio, hacking, and making—so be sure to stop by! Whether you want to discuss your latest radio setup, learn about our hackerspace, or just geek out about RF technology, we’d love to meet you.
Admission to the rally includes access to a variety of traders, exhibits, and talks from experienced operators. And of course, tea and sandwiches will be available on the day to keep everyone fueled up for a great day of radio and tech.
Mark your calendars, and we’ll see you there!

Join us at TOG for a free seed and plant swap on Saturday 15th March from 2 to 5 PM. Many of us at TOG are keen vegetable gardeners and the coming of New Year makes us look ahead to Spring and Summer in the hope of a good harvest. We’ll be planting lots of seeds on the day and hopefully no one will go away empty handed. We have lots of pots and we’ll have a bag of potting compost too.
If you have anything surplus that you’d like to share, why not bring it along…. seeds? plants? cuttings? We’d love to hear your own stories of what you like to plant in your own garden or space. Tell your friends and family about the event. If you’re involved with any community gardens, then definitely tell them also. The kettle will be on all day with plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits. TOG is a non-profit space run by unpaid volunteers. Donations are always welcome.
At TOG, we love hacking, tinkering, and creating—but let’s be honest, sometimes projects get left unfinished. That’s why we’re hosting a Finish-a-thon, a one-day community hackathon dedicated to wrapping up those lingering projects. Whether it’s coding, crafting, designing, writing, or fixing, this is your chance to make real progress and cross something off your to-do list!
Event Details: 📅 Date: Saturday, 15th February
⏰ Time: 10:30 AM – 7:00 PM
📍 Location: TOG Hackerspace, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12, D12 CF6V
🍕 Bonus: Stick around afterwards for our monthly open social with homemade pizza!
What’s the Plan?
What Can You Work On? Anything goes! This is an open hackathon where you can:
What Should You Bring?
If you don’t have a project, no worries! There’s always someone who could use a helping hand.
We’d love to get an idea of numbers, so please register on Meetup or Eventbrite if you’re coming. If you’d like to support the space, consider giving a donation via Eventbrite to help us continue hosting great community events. Any questions? Just ask!
We look forward to seeing you there!
