Fancy a chat about #Dublin2029 at Octocon?
Call into the Grain & Grill bar at 3pm today to meet some of the Dublin 2029 team, ask questions about the bid and to talk about exciting ideas and volunteering opportunities. We’d love to see you!
Text on a background image of a building, with a logo beneath. The text says: Let's talk Dublin in 2029! 3pm Saturday. The background image is a shot of the Mauldron Hotel, Tallaght, where Octocon is on, taken on a sunny day with clear blue skies. It is a modern multi-story building with lots of straight lines and glass in the frontage. In the middle of the image is the Dublin2029 logo. The logo shows a figure poised to step into a new world in a large D written in old celtic style script. The blue and green in the logo reflects both Dublin's and Ireland's colours. Underneath the bid logo text is white text reading "Dublin 2029, our crossroads lit by stories and stars".

Our Meet and Greet is happening today from 1:30-2:30pm PDT in Room 427 - come meet the team behind the Dublin2029 bid!
A banner of three images of Dublin with the words ‘[Dublin2029.ie](http://Dublin2029.ie "‌") Our Crossroads Lit by Stories and Stars’ written across them. The first photo is looking down the Samuel Beckett Bridge, which has a large white arc shaped like a harp on it. The second is of a two-storey library with a vaulted ceiling, filled with floor to ceiling books. The third is of a white metal bridge at night, under-lit with green lights reflecting into the water.

A view of the CCD in Dublin across the River Liffey at sunset. The curves of the building are illuminated in different colours on each floor, reflecting into the water. The white arc of the bridge is lit with warm yellow light, and that and the street lights lining the river also reflect into the water below.
