The FORGE

Dublin Chamber of Commerce Peer-to-Peer Business Group

Where challenges are shaped into strength

What is THE FORGE?

THE FORGE is a monthly, small-group roundtable for business professionals hosted by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce. You bring a real challenge from your business, share it with peers, and leave with fresh perspective and real-world strategies you can use right away.
This is not a lecture, not a sales pitch, and not another networking event where nothing gets solved—it’s focused, practical, and built around the real issues you’re facing.

When & How It Works

Schedule
When: First Tuesday of every month

• Time: 9:00 – 10:00 AM

• Format: One hour, in-person roundtable

Cost & Capacity

• Members: $60 per year (prorated as needed)

• Non-Members: $25 per session

• Capacity: Limited to 20 participants per session, with priority for Chamber members

Session Structure: What to Expect

1. Kickoff Theme
   Every session starts with a focused theme to frame the conversation.

2. Bring One Challenge
   Each participant brings one real issue, decision, or obstacle from their business.

3. Clarifying Questions (No Advice Yet)
   The group asks questions to really understand the challenge before jumping to solutions.

4. Peer Insights & Shared Experience
   Members then offer feedback, ideas, and lessons learned from their own businesses—guided by a moderator who keeps the conversation focused and respectful.

The result: practical insight, honest conversation, and a space where you don’t have to “have it all together” to belong.

Why Join THE FORGE?

• A confidential space to be real. Talk about what’s really happening in your business—without worry it will leave the room.

• Peer-driven strategy, not a sales pitch. You’re learning from people in the trenches, not someone trying to sell you a service.

• Consistent monthly connection. Build trusted relationships with fellow business owners and professionals who “get it.”

• Real problems, real solutions. Every session is grounded in actual challenges—and you leave with next steps, not just theory.

Real talk. Real solutions. Real strength, built together.
