⌖ Bristol · Origin Workspace

Hosted by Mindstone

Mindstone’s Bristol AI Meetup brings practical LLM demos, real-world building lessons and discussion about AI’s wider impact to Origin Workspace on 28 October. Taking place from 6pm to 9pm on Wednesday 28 October 2026, this monthly, in-person meetup offers a grounded look at how artificial intelligence is being built with and applied today. It is an opportunity to see working ideas up close, learn from practical experience and meet others exploring the fast-changing AI landscape in Bristol. Three perspectives on AI The evening features three talks spanning technical development, everyday application and big-picture thinking: - What I Learned Building With LLMs, a technical demonstration that breaks down the process of building an AI-powered product, including real-life lessons and insights gathered along the way. - Beating the Lotto, with AI by Jason Holloway, a practical demo and step-by-step guide showing how AI can be used to speed up and improve tasks. - What Does the Future Look Like With AI?, a theoretical exploration of how AI may affect work, everyday life and society. Together, the sessions move from hands-on product building to practical workflows and the broader consequences of adoption. That mix makes the meetup relevant to people already experimenting with LLMs and AI products, as well as curious attendees who want concrete examples rather than abstract hype. Technical builders can expect implementation-focused learning, while founders, professionals and AI enthusiasts can gain ideas about useful applications and future implications. Talks, demos and community This is a three-hour, in-person event organised by Mindstone. The structured talks are followed by pizza, drinks and networking, giving attendees time to compare projects, discuss the presentations and build connections with fellow AI practitioners and enthusiasts. The meetup takes place at Origin Workspace, 40 Berkeley Square, Bristol BS8 1HP. Its combination of a technical product breakdown, a step-by-step practical demonstration and a discussion about AI’s societal impact provides a broad snapshot of the field in one evening.

Explore decision-led data science and a zero-cost analytics stack at HCMC dbt Meetup 10 in Ho Chi Minh City. Taking place on Saturday 31 October 2026, from 9:30am to 12:00pm ICT, the tenth HCMC dbt Meetup connects the business decisions that analytics should support with the practical infrastructure needed to deliver useful insights. Expect two focused talks, a live analytics build and informal networking with the local data community. The venue is still to be announced. From data to decisions Nam Nguyen, Data and AI Advisor at TheDecisionQ, will present From Data to Decisions, From Decisions to Value. The session examines why analytics work can lose sight of the decision it was originally meant to inform, even when teams successfully build models and complete requested analysis. Nam will introduce Decision Data Science and the Decision Quality framework, a structured approach that begins with a clear problem frame, meaningful alternatives and reliable information. Attendees will see how analysis can become part of the decision engine itself rather than an output that sits alongside it. Build a $0 data stack In The $0 Data Stack: DuckDB + dbt + Metabase, Minh Nguyen, Analytics Engineer at Joon Solutions, will attempt to build a working analytics stack live. Starting with raw ecommerce CSV files, Minh will use DuckDB, dbt and Metabase to create a shared dashboard, all running for free on a single laptop. Beyond the build, the talk will address practical questions that matter to small teams: - Can a local, zero-cost stack remain secure? - Is it realistic for one person to maintain? - When should a business move to a cloud data warehouse? Who should attend? This free meetup is open to data practitioners at every level, students and early-career professionals exploring real-world data work, and business owners or startup teams looking to introduce analytics on a limited budget. It is especially relevant to people interested in AI, analytics engineering, data modelling, testing, data operations and trustworthy transformation workflows.

Hosted by Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery

A one-day, in-person workshop in London exploring how frontier AI systems can be secured in real-world environments. Women in AI Security Workshop 2026 takes place at The Royal Institute on Tuesday 3 November 2026, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Built around the theme “Securing Frontier AI Systems in the Wild”, the workshop will showcase prominent women working across AI security, AI safety and cyber security. It brings together perspectives from government, academia and industry, giving attendees an opportunity to learn about recent technical advances while examining the practical challenges involved in deploying and protecting frontier systems. What to expect The programme combines several formats to support technical learning, discussion and new connections: - Technical talks covering developments in AI and cyber security - Real-world case studies of how frontier AI systems are being secured - Panel sessions featuring experts from a variety of backgrounds - A guest lecture - Short community spotlight talks - A poster session presenting work from across the field - Opportunities to meet researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of AI and security The event forms part of an ongoing effort to build a more inclusive and diverse AI security community. Attendance is open to all genders, roles and levels of seniority, although the content will be particularly relevant to researchers and practitioners whose work connects AI with cyber security. The mix of talks, panels, posters and networking should suit both established experts and those developing their place in the field. Submit a spotlight talk Women working in AI security can apply to take part in the new spotlight talk session, with submissions welcomed at any career stage. Selected speakers will receive up to 15 minutes to present, with no audience questions afterwards. These sessions do not require a finished project. Early ideas, work in progress, interesting findings and open questions are all encouraged, creating a friendly setting in which women can share emerging work with an engaged audience. In support of the workshop’s goal of providing a platform for women in the field, spotlight speaking slots are reserved for women, while general attendance remains open to everyone.… Register for this event
