⌖ Oxford · Old Fire Station

Hosted by TNG Technology Consulting UK

AI in the Wild is a three-hour evening of talks on value-generating, real-world AI applications at the Old Fire Station in Oxford on 14 October 2026. Hosted by TNG Technology Consulting UK, the event moves beyond speculation and hype to examine how AI is being implemented in practice. Through live case studies and insights drawn from different industries and business domains, speakers will explore intelligent systems that deliver tangible value and address complex organisational challenges. What to expect The programme centres on focused talks and practical discussion rather than abstract predictions about AI. Attendees can expect: - Deep dives into live, real-world AI case studies - Examples of value-generating AI applications across diverse business domains - Insights from practitioners with experience of AI implementation - Discussion of what actually works when intelligent systems meet real operational needs - Networking with people interested in artificial intelligence, business and technology The event is particularly relevant to IT and technology professionals, business audiences, and anyone interested in the realities of deploying AI. It should also appeal to practitioners working with production AI or using intelligent systems to solve demanding business problems. The emphasis is firmly on lessons from the field: what has been built, where it creates value and what others can learn from those implementations. Format and venue This is an in-person evening gathering combining a series of talks with opportunities for conversation and networking. It runs from 7:00pm to 10:00pm BST on Wednesday 14 October 2026 at the Old Fire Station, 40 George Street, Oxford OX1 2AQ. Call for speakers TNG Technology Consulting UK is also welcoming external contributors. If you have deployed AI in production or used intelligent systems to tackle a complex business challenge, the organiser would like to hear your proposed talk. Potential speakers can contact events-uk@tngtech.com with a topic idea. Come prepared to compare practical experiences, hear evidence from multiple industries and discuss where AI is already producing results in the wild. Register for AI in the Wild

Hosted by OxHack Committee

OxHack 26 brings UK university students to Oxford for a free, student-led hackathon running from 24–25 October 2026. Over 24 hours, participants will turn ideas into working projects, meet fellow builders and experience the creative energy of collaborative problem-solving. Build, collaborate and experiment Organised by the OxHack Committee, the event welcomes participants from every degree programme, not only computer science, as well as both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is open to enrolled university students across the UK aged 18 or over, plus graduates who completed their studies within the past year. You can arrive with an idea and an established team, work independently, or meet potential collaborators during the team-building opportunities at the beginning of the event. Teams can include up to four people, making OxHack accessible whether you already have a group or are attending your first hackathon alone. The format centres on hands-on project building rather than passive talks: participants will collaborate intensively, develop their ideas and create something during the hackathon. The full programme has yet to be announced, but activities will be provided throughout the event. The OxHack website also displays a Major League Hacking 2026 Hackathon Season badge. Who should attend? OxHack 26 is designed for students who want to: - Put technical, creative or problem-solving skills into practice - Build a project within a focused hackathon environment - Meet students from other subjects and universities - Find teammates, exchange ideas and collaborate in a small group - Explore hackathons without paying an entry fee No pre-formed team is required, and the organisers explicitly welcome students from any academic discipline.

Taking place at the Ship Street Centre Lecture Theatre from 18:00 on Wednesday 28 October, the Mindstone Oxford AI Meetup offers an opportunity to see how artificial intelligence is moving beyond theory and being applied to real projects. The gathering focuses on advances in AI, the technology’s cutting-edge practical uses and the work redefining the boundaries of technology and human potential. What to expect This October edition continues Mindstone’s monthly Oxford meetup series.

Attendees can expect the programme to centre on: - Practical AI applications and how the technology is being put to use - Emerging advances across the artificial intelligence landscape - Projects that demonstrate new possibilities for technology and people - Insights from people working in and thinking deeply about the field The organiser describes the meetup as a chance to get “up close and personal” with boundary-pushing AI projects and learn from bright minds in the field. No individual speakers or detailed session timings have been announced on the published event page, so attendees should check the booking page for any programme updates. Who should attend? The meetup is relevant to people interested in understanding where AI is heading and what practical applications look like today. It may be particularly useful for builders, technologists, founders, researchers, students and curious professionals who want exposure to real AI work and fresh perspectives. The available listing does not specify a required experience level, making this best approached as a general AI community gathering rather than a formally described technical workshop.
