TouchDesigner Meetup Dublin @ TOG HACKERSPACE
Date: 25th March 2026
Time: 7:00PM - 10:00PM
Tickets are free, but registration via Eventbrite is required to secure your place:
The session will run for around three hours in a relaxed, hands-on setting. With multiple rooms available at TOG Hackerspace, we can host beginner and advanced activities simultaneously, ensuring everyone gets the most out of the evening. The first two hours will focus on learning, with a combination of scheduled short and long presentations/demonstrations. The last hour will take a more flattened and open approach, allowing the space for people to chat, share, learn, and explore TouchDesigner. Expect an informal, community-driven environment where the format adapts to participants. So if you would like to bring your laptop and learn the basics, share your projects, or connect with other using the software, this meetup offers a welcoming and supportive space to do so.
The event is also a great opportunity to meet other creative technologists and artists, and to continue building the growing TouchDesigner community in Ireland.

A special thanks to TOG for allowing us to use the space for these events, and Derivative for supporting the project. The meetups are hosted each month by a group of artists and creative technologists:
Workshops:
In this session we will be hosting two workshops. The first will be run by Pauric Freeman, and will focus on explaining TouchDesigner’s architecture, data flow, and frequently used but often unexplained concepts. The goal is to help people better understand the software and make networks more efficient.
Following this, Mal will show how process sensor data taken from the ESP32 Microcontroller in TouchDesigner, and how it can be used to control real-time visuals and modulate sound effects in Ableton Live.
