4) Startup Salon, Thursday @ Dogpatch Labs
Got an interest in trying to solve life's problems? "Since 2015 Startup Salon has been inspiring aspiring entrepreneurs and corporate innovators to follow their dream of working for themselves.

We are taking a look into the near future. According to many experts the next industrial revolution is upon us and it will be driven by purpose as much as profit. So aspiring entrepreneurs looking to create successful technology businesses; this one is a not-to-miss! Founders and experts, will be sharing their thoughts on the following purpose driven areas: Sustainabilty, Energy, iot and future cities, Social enterprise, Inclusion and disabilty. If you're interested in any of these topics and are driven by the desire to use entrepreneurship to solve some of the most pressing problems of the future, then please join us for another inspiring evening!"

5) The Great Pink Run, Saturday @ Phoenix Park
Breast Cancer Ireland’s Great Pink Run with Avonmore Slimline Milk – Saturday 9th September 2017 in the Phoenix Park. With a 10k Challenge with Irish Olympian, Sonia O Sullivan, setting the pace as well as a 5k Fun Run, Jog or Walk the dog, there IS something for everyone, men, women and children as everyone knows someone who has been affected. This is a great way to come out and show your support and help us in our Race for a Cure. With 1 in 9 women developing the disease in their lifetime, everybody knows someone that has been affected, whether a family relative, friend, or member within the community – making it all the more important to continue investing in research to help transform breast cancer from often being a fatal disease to a long term treatable illness.
