Chiang Mai in brief

AI & No-Code Events in Chiang Mai, October 2026

Chiang Mai’s October calendar is focused on hands-on AI engineering and specialist research. AI Engineers Weekly Chiang Mai meets at The Kannas Hotel on 17 October, then returns to the same venue on 24 October. The recurring format gives local builders two chances to connect with others working on AI products, agents and software.

Between those meetups, the International Conference on AI and Data Science Applications in Bioinformatics 2026 takes place on 22 October, bringing a research-focused event to the month’s line-up. That mix makes October particularly relevant for engineers shipping projects, technical founders looking for peers, and researchers interested in the application of AI and data science to bioinformatics.

The programme continues into November with the Chiang Mai SEO Conference from 9 November and the AI Business-Focused Weekly Chiang Mai at 4Seas Nimman on 11 November. These upcoming dates broaden the calendar beyond engineering, with options for people focused on search, commercial applications and the business side of AI.
