Hosted by The Product Folks

Build and ship a working AI-powered app with Replit in one hands-on evening in Singapore, no coding experience required. Taking place on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, from 6:30–9:30pm Singapore Time (GMT+8), this in-person session gives you an open floor to turn an idea into a live product. Builders will be available to help if you get stuck, followed by a showcase of demos created in the room and informal networking. Food and drinks are included. This is designed for founders, builders, product managers, designers and anyone curious about AI. Bring a charged laptop and something you want to build; the session is practical rather than a conference or pitch night. You can expect to leave with: - A working app built during the session - Replit credits to continue developing it afterwards - First-hand experience of moving from idea to product in one sitting - New connections with other local builders The event is presented by The Product Folks, with OGP Singapore as venue partner and GovTech Singapore as community partner. GovTech leads Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative and public-sector digital transformation. Registration requires host approval, spaces are limited, and the exact Singapore address is shared with registered attendees. Request to join the event.

⌖ Mexico City

Hosted by Rafael Mendiola

AI Builders Meetup brings React and AI developers to Mexico City on 27 October 2026 during Mexico Tech Week and Día de Muertos. This planned meetup offers developers a timely opportunity to connect with Mexico’s technology community, compare what they are building and spend time discussing the intersection of React and artificial intelligence. Organised by Rafael Mendiola, it is designed to bring local builders together with developers travelling from outside Mexico. What to expect The concept is deliberately community-focused: gather strong developers in one place, invite interesting speakers and create space for conversations about React, AI and current projects. While the detailed programme and speaker line-up have not yet been announced, the meetup is expected to centre on: - React development and the evolving tools and practices around it - AI products, applications and developer-led experimentation - What attendees are currently designing, coding and shipping - Connections between Mexican developers and visiting builders - Exposure to one of the world’s most energetic technology communities The event is being timed to coincide with Mexico Tech Week and Día de Muertos, making it particularly relevant for people who want to combine a developer meetup with several days in Mexico City. That wider context gives international attendees an opportunity to experience the local technology scene while the city hosts other activity and one of Mexico’s most significant cultural occasions. Who should attend? The meetup is aimed specifically at React and AI developers. It should appeal to working engineers, independent builders and technically minded product creators who want to exchange ideas with peers and learn what others are building. The published announcement does not specify a required experience level, so prospective attendees should register their interest and follow future updates as the agenda takes shape.
