Hosted by AI Tinkerers Singapore

Build a working voice AI prototype in this free, hands-on Singapore workshop on Tuesday, 10 November 2026. Running from 5:30pm to 9:00pm at Grab HQ @ one-north, this in-person build-along focuses on learning by doing rather than presentations and slides. Participants can choose between two tracks: - Build a voice AI agent: Create a conversational agent that listens, speaks and answers questions using your instructions and knowledge base. - Create with ElevenCreative: Experiment with AI-generated voices, narration, music and sound effects to produce a short audio creation. The workshop includes live demonstrations of ElevenAgents and ElevenCreative, guided step-by-step building, opportunities to showcase your work and networking with other AI builders and creators. Eligible registered participants may also receive ElevenLabs credits, subject to confirmation. Developers, AI enthusiasts, startup founders, students and content creators are all welcome. The guided activities are beginner-friendly and do not require coding experience, although coding may help with advanced customisations. Bring a laptop, headphones and an ElevenLabs account. The event is organised by ElevenLabs Ambassador Son Le and presented by AI Tinkerers Singapore as an independent, community-led workshop. Admission is free, but registration requires host approval. The exact address is shared with approved attendees. Request to attend the workshop

⌖ Toronto · EY Tower

Hosted by The Pathfinders Network

Toronto Tech Summit 2026 brings enterprise leaders to EY Tower in Toronto on 11 November 2026 to tackle security, privacy and AI governance at scale. Engineering trust in production AI Organised by The Pathfinders Network, this one-day forum focuses on the challenge facing organisations as AI moves beyond successful pilots: how to deploy it securely, responsibly and accountably across real enterprise environments. Sessions will connect engineering decisions with cybersecurity, privacy, risk, governance and leadership priorities, grounded in Canada’s regulatory landscape and market realities. The programme combines keynotes, panel discussions and a fireside conversation covering: - Engineering trust at scale - The shadow AI crisis and governing tools organisations cannot see - AI augmentation versus workforce displacement - Cyber resilience amid AI-powered attacks - Prompt injection, poisoned pipelines and AI workflow integrity - Accountability when agentic AI takes action - Turning AI risk into business advantage The day begins with registration at 08:30, with summit sessions running from 09:00. Closing remarks are followed by a networking reception from 17:00 to 19:00. Attendees can earn up to eight hours of Continuing Professional Education credits. Speakers and the Advisory Council are still to be announced. Who should attend? Toronto Tech Summit is designed for the people responsible for building, securing and governing enterprise AI: engineers, security and privacy leaders, risk professionals and executives. It will be particularly relevant to teams moving AI systems into production, setting operational controls or balancing innovation with governance and accountability. TTS Open: prototypes, not pitch decks A distinctive part of the summit is TTS Open, a pre-event, 72-hour build competition. Multidisciplinary teams of two to four people create working MVPs with no-code, low-code or generative AI, supported by dedicated mentors. Entrants choose between two enterprise challenges: 1. Agentic AI containment, defining, enforcing and monitoring an agent’s operational boundaries, including human sign-off and automatic halt conditions. 2. The shadow AI governance gap, creating an enterprise-ready framework for visibility, enforcement and model governance without adding counterproductive friction. Attendance details The organiser’s current date is Wednesday 11 November 2026, with registration from 08:30 local time at 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto.

⌖ Chiang Mai

The NASA Space Apps Challenge comes to Chiang Mai on 14–15 November 2026 for a two-day global hackathon focused on building space-related applications. Build around space-focused ideas Taking place in Chiang Mai, Thailand, this local edition of the NASA Space Apps Challenge offers participants an opportunity to turn ideas into practical applications within a concentrated hackathon format. The core value is the chance to move beyond discussing space and technology and spend two days actively creating something connected to a global challenge. The event runs across Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November 2026. As part of an international hackathon, the Chiang Mai gathering provides a local setting for people interested in space, software and collaborative problem-solving to take part in the wider Space Apps Challenge. Who should consider attending? This event is relevant to people who want to apply their skills and curiosity to space-related application building, including: - Software developers and technical builders - Designers and product thinkers - Students and emerging technologists - Data, science and space enthusiasts - Entrepreneurs and makers interested in hackathons - Multidisciplinary participants who enjoy working through ambitious problems The listing does not currently specify required experience levels, team arrangements or prerequisite tools. Prospective attendees should consult the official event page before registering, particularly if they need information about eligibility or whether participation is suitable for beginners. Event format and practical details Expect a two-day hackathon rather than a conventional conference. The emphasis is on building space-related applications during the event period, making it especially suitable for attendees who prefer active creation and problem-solving over a programme based solely on talks. At the time of publication, the event page does not provide a venue address, detailed agenda, named speakers, challenge topics, judging criteria or information about equipment.

⌖ Riyadh · Rafd Complex Building 4, Floor 1

Hosted by Sabtiah

Sabtiah is a weekly two-hour AI builders’ meetup in Riyadh, combining open discussion with demos of real projects and experiments. Taking place on Saturday 14 November 2026, from 2:00–4:00 PM AST, the session meets at Rafd Complex, Building 4, Floor 1, Al Malqa. What to expect The meetup follows a practical two-part format: - Hour 1, Discussion: Explore what is happening in AI, share what participants are learning and consider what new developments mean for people building locally. - Hour 2, Demos: Show a tool, AI agent, workflow, prototype or experiment. Projects can be polished or half-built, and bringing a problem you are stuck on also counts. This is a working session for people actively building with AI rather than a formal conference or lecture. Expect opportunities to meet others tackling similar problems, experiment together and put work in front of fellow builders. Conversation may take place in Arabic, English or both, depending on who is in the room. Sabtiah (السبتية) takes its name from Sabt, meaning Saturday, following the local custom of naming gatherings after the day on which they meet. The community has met weekly since July 2025 and is powered by Cycls. Register for Sabtiah, Riyadh’s AI Circle
