AI & Beers #10 - Real AI Talks (W District)

⌖ Bangkok · Treehouse Cafe & Bar

Hosted by Jaume R.

Build AI products people will pay for at this informal builders meetup in Bangkok, taking place on 25 October 2026 at Treehouse Cafe & Bar. From AI idea to paying customer Vibe Coding Products in Bangkok brings together people who are using AI to turn early ideas into useful, launchable products. Hosted by Jaume R., this first edition creates a relaxed setting where builders can show their work, compare approaches and help one another make progress. The meetup runs from 5:00pm to 7:00pm ICT on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at Treehouse Cafe & Bar, 20 Sukhumvit 31 in Watthana. Rather than focusing only on code, the conversation will cover the full journey from deciding what to build to finding the first paying customer. Topics and questions may include: - Choosing an AI product idea worth pursuing - Turning a rough concept into a working prototype - Deciding how and when to launch - Working out what to charge - Finding early users and first customers - Getting feedback on a demo or half-built product - Moving an existing product beyond its current stage Attendees may be building with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another AI development tool. The emphasis is on sharing practical experiences rather than prescribing one particular stack. Who should attend? All stages are welcome. You might arrive with nothing more than an idea, a prototype that only partly works, or a product already earning revenue. You do not need a technical background, and you do not need to have made money from your project. Curiosity, a desire to build something useful and the motivation to keep moving are enough. Bring a demo if you have one, a question you want to explore, or a specific problem that has slowed you down. You can also come simply to meet other locally based AI builders and learn what they are creating. A conversational builders meetup Expect informal, peer-led conversations rather than a formal lecture or highly structured workshop. The format is designed for swapping ideas, receiving direct feedback and discussing both product development and commercial decisions with people who also want to ship. Attendees can additionally use Meetup’s event chat to connect before the session begins. View the event and registration details

⌖ Washington · The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C.

Hosted by FedInsider and Carahsoft

Explore how public-sector organisations can scale, secure and support AI at Innovation Summit 2026, held on 21 October in Washington. Presented by FedInsider, Carahsoft Technology Corp and Dell Technologies, this in-person summit brings government and industry thought leaders together at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C. The programme examines how agencies can move beyond experimentation and integrate AI into mission delivery, citizen services and everyday operations. The event takes place from 11:30am to 6pm. Claudia Hosky, Publisher at FedInsider, will host, with FedInsider Contributing Editor Jane Norris moderating. The College of Professional Studies at GWU sponsors the summit. What the programme covers Against a backdrop of rapidly growing federal AI adoption following the public release of ChatGPT, three panels will address the practical challenges agencies face: - From Pilot to Production: Scaling AI Across Government , overcoming adoption barriers, establishing governance and taking AI initiatives from experiments to enterprise deployment across federal, state and local agencies. - Securing AI for Government: Zero Trust in an AI-Driven World , applying Zero Trust principles throughout the AI lifecycle, including data protection, model integrity, access control, compliance and resilience. - Powering Mission-Critical Workloads , modernising data centres, edge environments and hybrid infrastructure to handle secure, resilient and high-performance AI workloads. Attendees will also hear perspectives on workforce readiness, change management, mission measurement, legacy-system modernisation and resilience across multi-cloud and distributed operations. The sessions will consider emerging AI threats alongside the operational and security risks created by wider adoption. Who should attend The summit is designed for professionals working across government technology, digital transformation, AI governance, cybersecurity, infrastructure and public-service delivery, as well as industry teams supporting public-sector modernisation. It is a basic-level, group-live programme, with no prerequisites or advance preparation required.… Register for this event

⌖ Nottingham · Fothergill House

Hosted by DevOps Notts

Explore architecture governance for AI coding agents at Fothergill House in Nottingham on 27 October 2026, from 6–8pm GMT. This DevOps Notts talk presents a financial-services approach to moving governance earlier in the software development process. Rather than relying solely on architecture review boards, deployment failures and late-stage guardrails, the session will show how governance can become part of an AI agent’s reasoning. You’ll learn how an agent can read real policy documents, explain applicable requirements in plain English while a developer is still describing a system, and identify constraints before any Terraform is created. The talk also covers mirroring those policies in OPA/Rego rules, allowing the agent to check its own proposed design before presenting it and enabling CI to verify changes made by hand. The event is particularly relevant to DevOps practitioners, software engineers, architects and teams working with AI-assisted development in regulated environments. No speaker biography or experience-level requirement has been published. Agenda - 18:00: Doors open - 18:30: Talk begins - 19:15: Pizza and catch-up - 20:00: Doors close Hosted by Mica B. for DevOps Notts at CGI Fothergill House, 16 King Street, Nottingham NG1 2AS.

⌖ Singapore · Grand Hyatt Singapore

Hosted by Economist Enterprise

AI Innovation Asia brings senior business and government leaders to Singapore on 26 November 2026 to turn AI investment into measurable business value. Closing the AI value gap Held at the Grand Hyatt Singapore, this third annual conference from Economist Enterprise focuses on one of the most urgent questions facing organisations: why do some companies generate tangible returns from AI while others spend millions without moving beyond experimentation? The programme moves past hype to examine how leading organisations are implementing AI in practice. Through independent, editorial-led discussions, executive panels and real-world case studies, attendees will explore what it takes to convert investment into operational improvements, growth and durable competitive advantage. Key themes include: - Moving successful AI pilots into organisation-wide deployment - Measuring business value and tangible return on investment - Redesigning organisations, workflows and decision-making for AI - Avoiding costly implementation failures - Identifying where chief executives are directing their AI budgets for 2027 - Learning from organisations already putting AI to work across Asian markets Hear from leaders making AI pay The announced line-up combines editorial perspective with senior operational and technology experience. Tom Standage, deputy editor of The Economist and editor of The World Ahead, brings a long-standing focus on technology’s business, cultural and historical significance. He is joined by Binu Jacob, chairman and chief executive of Nestlé Vietnam, whose career spans almost three decades of FMCG leadership across Asia, Europe and the US. Other featured leaders include Rahil Ansari, chairman and chief executive of Volkswagen Group Taiwan, drawing on more than two decades in the automotive industry, and Simon See, chief solution architect and global head of the NVIDIA AI Technology Centre and AI Nation at NVIDIA.
