⌖ 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.

⌖ 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
