Hosted by Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.

A two-day open RSE hackathon at the University of Glasgow on 26–27 November 2026, focused on building reusable research software frameworks. Research Software Engineering practice and training often remain divided by discipline.

The goal is to produce both an overall system design, such as a UML diagram, and a working prototype. Programme - Thursday 26 November, 09:00–17:00: lightning talks framing the challenges, team formation and prototyping - Friday 27 November, 09:00–17:00: creation of a short showcase and community roadmap to carry promising prototypes forward The hackathon takes place at the Advanced Research Centre (ARC), University of Glasgow, 11 Chapel Lane, Glasgow, G11 6EW.

Hosted by Canopy Community

Global Demo Night is a free, one-hour remote showcase on 26 November 2026, where MVP-stage founders demo products to investors, operators and peers. Hosted by the Canopy Community and Stewart Noakes, this fast-paced online event gives emerging founders a global stage, practical feedback and an opportunity to sharpen how they present their products. The live stream runs on YouTube from 2:00pm to 3:00pm UTC, making it accessible to attendees across multiple time zones. What to expect Over 60 minutes, a curated group of early-stage founders will present ambitious products currently at MVP or validation stage. Each participant receives a focused slot: - Five minutes to demonstrate their product - Five minutes of questions from the community - Constructive feedback from founders, operators, investors and startup supporters - Live audience voting for the People’s Choice Award The concise demo-and-Q&A format keeps the session energetic while giving every founder meaningful exposure. Rather than polished, late-stage pitches, the focus is on new ideas taking shape: attendees can see how founders explain early products, respond to questions and test their stories with a supportive international audience. Who should attend? The event is particularly relevant for early-stage founders preparing to pitch or looking to learn from other teams. Investors scouting companies at pre-seed and seed stage can register for a dedicated free Investor Ticket, which requires approval and is intended for active investors in early-stage technology companies. Operators, startup peers and anyone interested in discovering products at the beginning of their journey are also welcome. You do not need to be presenting or investing to take part: the audience is encouraged to learn, ask questions, vote, cheer on the founders and connect with the wider community. Canopy describes the event as a safe, generous environment grounded in peer support, where teams can gain visibility and real-world reactions without geographic barriers. You can also explore the community through Canopy’s YouTube channel or read about its forthcoming Zero-Barriers SEIS Fund. Register free for Global Demo Night

⌖ Nottingham · Beeston Library

Hosted by Venanzio

Discuss Cory Doctorow’s critique of AI, labour and power at Beeston Library in Nottingham on 28 November 2026. Hosted by Venanzio for the Nottingham Humanist Book Club, this 90-minute meeting explores The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI by journalist and bestselling author Cory Doctorow. Rather than asking only what artificial intelligence can do, the book challenges readers to consider a more revealing question: who is the technology working for, and who is being made to work for it? AI through the lens of labour The discussion will unpack Doctorow’s distinction between a “centaur” and a “reverse centaur”. In automation theory, a centaur is someone who chooses to use technology to support work that matters to them. A reverse centaur, by contrast, is forced to assist a machine and keep pace with its demands. Examples raised by the book include: - Drivers pushed to make deliveries continuously - Warehouse workers denied reasonable food or bathroom breaks - Programmers expected to produce impossible quantities of code - People whose working conditions are dictated by automated systems This framing creates space for a wider conversation about AI hype, automation, worker agency and the distribution of technological power. Whether you want to criticise AI, use it or reject it, the meeting will focus on looking beyond abstract claims about capability to examine its effects on real lives and society. A welcoming humanist book discussion The event takes place from 2:00pm to 3:30pm GMT on Saturday 28 November 2026, in Room Bee 3 at Beeston Library, Foster Avenue, Beeston, NG9 1AE. You do not need to have read the book. The session is designed as an accessible book-club conversation for anyone interested in AI and society, AI ethics, humanism or the changing nature of work. Readers can bring their interpretation of Doctorow’s argument, while newcomers can participate through their interest in the subject and in humanist values. View the event and registration details

Hosted by the DeepLearning.AI team and Andrew Ng, this conference is designed for people actively building with AI rather than those looking for high-level “AI transformation” commentary. Across four stages and more than 50 hands-on labs, attendees can learn directly from practitioners, develop practical AI engineering skills and apply new techniques to their own projects. What to expect The two-day programme combines: - Technical talks from working AI practitioners - Practical workshops and hands-on labs - Opportunities to apply learning to your own builds - Networking with a large community of engineers and builders - An afterparty and post-event recap The 2026 speaker and session agenda has not yet been published on the event page. However, footage highlighted from previous AI Dev events includes Andrew Ng discussing the future of software engineering and Brandon Middleton presenting a vibe coding masterclass, giving a sense of the builder-focused material the conference is known for. Built for practitioners AI Dev positions itself as a vendor-neutral alternative to product-led or enterprise-focused conferences. DeepLearning.AI says there will be no pitching on stage: the agenda is centred on knowledge and the development of useful engineering skills. The event is backed by a global DeepLearning.AI community of more than seven million learners, while its flagship events have attracted over 6,000 attendees. Andrew Ng hosts the conference as founder of DeepLearning.AI and managing general partner at AI Fund. His background includes serving as the founding lead of Google Brain and former chief scientist at Baidu, as well as co-founding Coursera. This format is best suited to AI engineers, developers and hands-on builders who want substantive technical learning and contact with peers who also ship AI products. The page does not specify formal prerequisites, but its emphasis is firmly on active practitioners and practical application. Tickets… Register for this event
