AI & Robotics Hackathon Bangkok 2026: Media Lab Participants

⌖ 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

Hosted by AI & Beers 🍺🤖 (W District)

AI & Beers 10 brings founders, creators and operators to W District in Bangkok on 29 October 2026 for candid, practical conversations about AI. This relaxed, in-person meetup is for people who are actively using or building with AI, and anyone curious to learn quickly from those who are. There are no presentations, panels or pitches. Instead, attendees grab a drink, meet fellow builders and openly discuss: - Claude and Codex - AI agents and automations - Tools and practical workflows - What is working right now, and what is not - Real projects and use cases, including ChatGPT Beginners and experienced AI practitioners are equally welcome. Expect an informal, conversation-led format focused on useful exchanges rather than polished talks or sales pitches. The meetup runs from 7:00pm to 9:00pm ICT on Thursday 29 October 2026 at W District in Bangkok. Organisers will post a photo of the group’s table in the WhatsApp group when they arrive.

⌖ Bangkok · Paper plane project

Build with Claude alongside marketers, technologists and founders at a hands-on AI meetup in Bangkok on 8 November 2026, hosted by The MarTech Collective. Build, experiment and learn together Claude & Coffee is a monthly, project-focused gathering for people who want to start building with AI rather than simply talking about it. From 11:00am to 1:00pm ICT, attendees will take over Paper Plane Project in Bangkok for two hours of collaborative work, practical experimentation and peer-to-peer learning with Claude. There are no keynotes and no presentation-heavy agenda. Instead, bring your laptop, a project or an early-stage idea, and be ready to share what you are exploring. The emphasis is on learning from one another without hierarchy: compare workflows, ask questions, test approaches and make progress on work that may otherwise have stayed on your to-do list. Who is it for? You do not need to be an AI expert, curiosity and a willingness to experiment are enough. The meetup is designed for: - Marketers exploring ways to automate repetitive tasks, create briefs or improve campaign reporting - Developers and technologists interested in building tools, shipping side projects or testing new AI workflows - Founders using AI for faster research, analysis and prototyping with a leaner team The open format makes the session useful whether you arrive with a defined build or only the beginnings of an idea. Rather than following a fixed tutorial, you can focus on the challenge most relevant to you while learning from the projects and perspectives around the room. Venue and format The event takes place at Paper Plane Project, T-One Building 8, 40th Floor, Sukhumvit 40, Phra Khanong, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110. You can view the venue location on Google Maps. Hosted by Tanya P. and Aaron M. for The MarTech Collective, this is an informal, hands-on alternative to a conventional AI conference: good coffee, practical projects and a room of people figuring things out together. Attendance is free, but spaces are limited. Registering also unlocks the Meetup event chat, where you can connect with other attendees before the session begins. Register for Claude & Coffee

⌖ Santiago

Hosted by University of Notre Dame / Universidad de los Andes

RISE AI Latin America Summit brings academia, industry and government to Santiago on 20–21 October 2026 to advance responsible AI across the region. Co-created by Universidad de los Andes and the University of Notre Dame, in partnership with institutions across Latin America, this two-day conference focuses on a defining question: how should AI be built, governed and shared so that it serves communities and the common good? It offers a regional forum for perspectives that can influence both Latin American priorities and the wider global conversation. The RISE AI framework The programme is organised around four connected principles: - Responsible: establishing accountability throughout the AI lifecycle, from data and model training to deployment and use, while aligning systems with human values and community needs. - Inclusive: reflecting different communities, languages, cultures, disciplines and lived experiences,and giving people affected by AI meaningful opportunities to shape it. - Safe: creating reliable, secure and robust systems that actively reduce harm, prevent misuse and address unintended consequences. - Empowering: using AI to expand human capability, strengthen communities, improve access to opportunity and augment rather than diminish human agency. These principles provide a practical basis for discussing innovation, governance and institutional change in a region where questions of access, sustainability and development are already urgent realities. Themes and perspectives The summit will convene contributors from universities, companies and public institutions across three highlighted tracks: - Education: skills development and institutional transformation - Health & Biotech: innovation spanning health and engineering - Business: AI adoption and governance models The wider context includes Latin America’s research capabilities, entrepreneurial momentum and public-sector demand. Attendees can expect a cross-sector conversation that connects technical progress with accountability, social impact and the realities of implementation. The event page also includes a call for abstracts, creating an avenue for relevant work to contribute to the summit discussion. Who should attend?… Register for this event
