Defuse 2026 - IxDA Dublin

A fast-format night of interaction-design talks from IxDA Dublin: twelve speakers, twenty slides each, fifteen seconds a slide, PechaKucha-style. Ireland's interaction and service designers share work and the design problems they are wrestling with, under the banner "Defuse - Design for Use."

Held at The Sugar Club on Leeson Street, run by IxDA Dublin with Service Design Ireland, Design Brew and Dublin UX, and hosted by Patrick Mooney. 19:00 to 22:00.

This is not a ticketed event and it is free, but it is popular: an RSVP on Meetup does not guarantee entry, so arrive early. More at defuse.ixd.ie.

Why go: the design community's end-of-year showcase, and one of the better rooms in Dublin for UX and product designers to see a lot of real work fast and meet the people behind it.
