We are Looking for Event Hosts
Do you know how to host a good party?
Wait no, that's not what we do!
Do you know how to ensure events run smoothly, where all the IT works, all the rubbish ends up in the right bin, and the organisers come to thank you at the end for the best night of their life?
Well then, you'd best get in touch with us, because you will also get UNLIMITED HUB MEMBERSHIP, in return for your time on the occasional evening.

One of my all-time favourite videos. I used to show this to my Sociology students, and anyone else I could trap for more than 11 minutes. It's a crash course in the contradications of capitalism, and it has so much food for thought it's worth watching twice! You won't regret clicking here.

Fuck Up Nights

How much fun does this sound like? Listen to respected professionals talk about the total shit-shows that they encountered on their journeys. It's getting some good write-ups in TimeOut among others, so I think we can expect a full house to hear some hilarious and painful stories. Buy tickets here.

Mondays: Luísa Pessoa
"I’m a Brazilian (carioca!) designer based in Lisbon since last year. The world is changing and I am willing to think positive impact solutions for it!
I have 8 years of experience as a designer, in which I worked in important branding and product offices, founded and managed an e-commerce and act as a service designer consultant. I’ve specialized in Design Thinking and in the Creative Economy, aiming to deliver strategic, creative and innovative solutions to companies through the mindset of empathy, collaboration and experimentation.
My view is that we should think about the world’s challenges jointly to create a positive and relevant impact."

Fridays: Mike Ananyin
"I am a Token Architect at Fransis Partnership Foundation with the aim to help business owners, chief officers and investors extract money from Data. I achieve that by delivering Business Intelligence guidance, analysis insights, research White Papers and full-care advising. My business drive comes from providing customized creative solutions and loyalty to my clients and partners. I have a scientific background with 10 years of academic studies and research in Theoretical Physics. I am motivated by growth and learning, by social impact that technology can bring to the world now, seeking an opportunity to apply my skills, knowledge and experience to create social impact that would motivate me to advance further and bring profit to my stimulating workplace. In 2018 I was nominated as one of the TOP10 Token Architects in Europe by the Irish Tech News." |
