⌖ Brighton · AI on Tap | Brighton | Episode 9 (venue name not explicitly shown; likely a pub in Brighton)

Hosted by AI on Tap - UK

AI on Tap Brighton brings practical, jargon-free AI conversations to The Walrus on 6 October 2026, with real stories, peer learning and relaxed networking. If you want to understand how businesses are using AI without sitting through sales pitches or highly technical presentations, this monthly Brighton meetup offers a refreshingly direct alternative. Episode 9 is built around honest conversations about what is working, what is failing and which ideas attendees can apply in their own organisations. What to expect The evening opens with two or three accessible accounts from people doing real things with AI. Rather than polished theory, these stories focus on practical experiences from the frontline, including the lessons people have learned while using AI to improve areas such as operations and sales. Attendees will then choose one of two breakout groups: - Builders, for the more technically minded members of the room - Users, for people applying AI in their everyday work Each group runs a “Wins & Bins” session, sharing one approach that has delivered results and one that flopped. Highlights are brought back to the full room, giving everyone useful, road-tested insights from both perspectives. Optional Link-Ups provide five-minute, one-to-one conversations with a co-host or fellow attendee. These are designed as low-pressure introductions, with the possibility of continuing useful connections after the meetup. Once the structured sessions finish, the evening moves into informal conversation, drinks and networking. Who should attend? AI on Tap is aimed at AI-curious business leaders, managers, founders, entrepreneurs and knowledge workers. It is equally open to experienced builders and people who have never opened a terminal. No technical background is required, and first-time attendees are especially welcome. You can expect to leave with: - Candid examples of real-world AI use - Ideas you can test in your business immediately - Lessons from approaches that did not work - New contacts facing similar AI and automation questions - A clearer, more human view of AI’s business impact… Register for this event
