Hosted by Mindstone

Explore practical AI, LLM product-building and idea protection at Mindstone’s in-person meetup in London on 20 October 2026, with talks and networking. Mindstone brings its monthly AI meetup to Inspire St James for an evening focused on how artificial intelligence is being built, applied and understood in the real world. Running from 6pm to 9pm, the event combines three distinct talks with technical demonstrations, practical guidance and a chance to meet others working with or exploring AI.

What You Need to Know About Protecting Your Ideas , Anna Orchard examines idea protection alongside the wider impact of AI on work, everyday life and society. This mix of product-building, productivity and broader implications gives attendees a rounded view of the current AI landscape. The technical session will be particularly useful for builders and people interested in creating with LLMs, while the productivity demonstration offers applicable ideas for anyone looking to use AI more effectively. The final talk adds a theoretical perspective for professionals, founders and creators thinking about how AI affects their work and intellectual output. Talks, food and community This is a three-hour, in-person event, rather than a purely technical workshop or conference. After the presentations, the evening moves into an informal networking session with pizza and drinks.

The workshop is intended for senior directors who want a more systematic approach to handling enquiries and nurturing potential customers. You should bring a laptop and have access to your inbox and calendar so that you can work with your own setup during the session. Format, support and pricing This is a half-day, hands-on workshop held in person in London on Wednesday 21 October 2026. The venue is currently listed as TBC, with the event page showing the SE1 3JW area. Tickets cost £1,495 per director.
