⌖ 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

⌖ Bangkok · Chulalongkorn University

Solidarity AI is a four-day conference in Bangkok, running 12–15 November 2026 at Chulalongkorn University, focused on AI for climate justice, communal care and local values. Co-convened by PCC Global and PCC Thailand with Chulalongkorn University and regional allies, the gathering asks who should control the technologies that increasingly shape work, livelihoods, culture and public life. Rather than treating communities as passive users, it explores how workers and people affected by AI can exercise meaningful control over everything from raw-material extraction and data to algorithms and governance. What to expect The programme combines plenary sessions, participatory workshops, sector-focused breakouts and strategy sessions. It is designed to connect scholarship rooted in lived experience with practical organising and technology development. Central themes include: - AI systems built for climate justice, equity and care - Shared ownership, democratic governance and accountable infrastructure - The effects of digital systems on pay, surveillance, displacement and invisible labour - Local languages, knowledge and values in technology design - Solidarity expressed through governance, business models, infrastructure and international collaboration - “Solidarity stacks”: interconnected technology, governance and labour systems that are collectively owned and locally governed Examples spanning Asia and beyond will ground these discussions, including farmer-led data cooperatives in India, Vietnam’s national AI stack, multilingual systems in Indonesia and Malaysia, worker organising in the Philippines and platform cooperatives in Spain. The conference also draws on Buddhist ethics, Thailand’s sufficiency economy, Gandhian thought and Ambedkarite critique to move beyond Western-centric and growth-at-all-costs approaches to AI.… Register for this event
