Square’s Post

What a night at the Square Block Party at Citizen Supply! We partnered with RenderATL (Render Atlanta) to set the stage for an unforgettable pre-conference kickoff celebrating some of the best local brands in Atlanta. From custom cocktails to beats by TIDAL DJ Kali Dean and live art, we raised a glass to Atlanta's vibrant tech scene. It was a blast connecting with fellow tech enthusiasts and exploring the best of ATL's local businesses. Thanks to everyone who joined us and brought the energy — it wouldn't have been the same without you!

✨ This week, we had the honor of welcoming Paralympic athlete Roisin Ni Riain to our Square offices in Ireland. ✨ Roisin, an elite swimmer with a visual impairment, shared with us her inspiring journey leading to the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris. She spoke about her rigorous training routine and the countless challenges she has faced in her athletic career. Her determination, resilience, and passion for swimming are truly inspiring. Roisin reminded us of the importance of perseverance in spite of the difficulties we encounter along the way. A special thank you to Visa Ireland for organizing this incredible talk, and thank you to Roisin for sharing your incredible story with us! We can't wait to cheer you on in Paris. No doubt you'll do Ireland proud. 🌟🏊♀️
