We are delighted to once again host our popular annual Summer Barbeque in Dublin’s City Centre. Join us for a social get-together with plenty of food and drink to enjoy on Thursday, 24th July from 6.30pm in the Odeon Bar on Harcourt Street.

This is a chance for members and MBA students, and their guests, to network and socialise in a really nice, relaxed setting … and we’re feeling lucky about the weather!

If you haven’t been to one of our events, this is an opportunity to dip your toe in the water, or what not use the evening as an overdue catch-up with your old MBA classmates?

The cost to members and their guests is unchaged at €25, which includes food and a drink. Non-members are welcome at a cost of €32. You must log in to avail of the member rate.

Our quarterly series of international speaker events continues on Wednesday, 17 September 2025 in the RDS Members Club as we welcome Karthik Ramanna, author of The Age of Outrage: How to Lead in a Polarized World.

Professor of Business and Public Policy at the University of Oxford and an expert on business-government relations, sustainable capitalism, and corporate reporting and auditing, Professor Ramanna studies how organizations and leaders build trust with stakeholders. His scholarship has won numerous awards, including the Journal of Accounting & Economics Best Paper Prize, the Harvard Business Review-McKinsey Prize for ‘ground-breaking management thinking,’ and three times the international Case Centre’s prizes for ‘outstanding case-writing,’ dubbed by the Financial Times as ‘the business school Oscars.’

Previously, Professor Ramanna taught at the Harvard Business School in both the MBA and senior executive-education programs. He has a doctorate from MIT’s Sloan School of Management.

In his latest book, Professor Ramanna offers a framework for managing stakeholder outrage that draws on analytical insights from disciplines as wide-ranging as the science of aggression, managerial economics, organizational behaviour, and political philosophy.
