Exploring OutSystems: From Low-Code to Agentic Systems

⌖ Brighton · dabapps

Hosted by Silicon Brighton

Build your programming skills with one-to-one support at this free Codebar workshop in Brighton on 27 October 2026. Designed for beginner and intermediate learners, this in-person session offers a safe, supportive place to learn at your own pace. Rather than following a single class-wide lesson, you can work on your own course or coding project with guidance from a volunteer coach. Codebar aims to match each student with the right coach for one-to-one help, subject to availability, so you can focus on the problems and skills most relevant to you. What to expect The evening combines informal social time with focused, hands-on coding: - 6:30pm: Arrive, meet the group and share pizza - 7pm–9pm: Work on your course or project with coaching support - After 9pm: An optional pub visit for anyone who would like to continue the conversation This is a practical workshop rather than a programme of talks. Bring something you want to learn, practise or build, and use the coding session to make progress in a welcoming environment. The individual format gives newer programmers space to ask questions without having to keep pace with a large class, while intermediate learners can bring more specific challenges or projects. The event also welcomes volunteer coaches. If you have programming knowledge and experience to share, you can attend to support students, answer questions and help someone work through their course or project. It is an opportunity to contribute to Brighton’s coding community while developing your own mentoring skills. Venue and food The workshop runs from 6:30pm to 9pm on Tuesday 27 October 2026 at dabapps, Nile House, Nile Street, Brighton, BN1 1HW. Pizza is provided at the start of the evening, with vegetarian and vegan options. Attendees should add any other dietary requirements to their Codebar profile so the organisers can make sure there is something suitable in the selection. Places are free, but advance sign-up is required. Whether you are taking your first steps in programming, developing an existing project or offering your time as a coach, this workshop provides a friendly setting for learning through direct, practical support.

⌖ Brighton · Brighton Dome

UX Brighton 2026 is a one-day conference on emerging UX methods, taking place at Brighton Dome in Brighton on Friday 6 November 2026. The fundamentals remain familiar,understand what people need, design solutions, test them and build them,but the methods available to UX teams are rapidly multiplying. This conference is designed to help attendees separate genuinely useful developments from noise, understand which techniques translate effectively into UX practice and identify established approaches that new technology has finally made practical. What to expect The programme brings together practitioners working at the edges of UX research, design and product development. Rather than focusing on novelty for its own sake, the day will explore what is actually working across new research techniques, design tools, testing methods and ways of working. Confirmed speakers include: - Vivek Gopinath, Lead User Researcher at IBM, whose mixed-method practice spans qualitative and quantitative research, machine learning, heuristic analysis, eye tracking, behavioural studies, cognitive psychology and predictive UX. His work examines how AI-driven personalisation can anticipate user needs while maintaining a deep, empathetic understanding of behaviour. - Prama Ayalasomayajula, a research leader at HubSpot with experience in service design, small-business products, Zalando sellers and Meta Shops. Her work investigates why discovery breaks down, how scalable UX processes hold together and what service blueprints can reveal beyond standalone insights. - Chiara Scarabotti, UX Lead at Springer Nature, specialising in complex publishing flows and multi-persona journeys. She focuses on problem framing, information architecture and turning messy systems into transparent, actionable practices for cross-disciplinary teams. - Kathy Neuss, Head of Research at Mercator Digital, with more than 25 years of experience across government, corporate and agency settings. She combines qualitative depth with quantitative rigour and has influenced major HMRC services through research, behavioural groupings, mental models and journey mapping. - Max Borodin, Senior Product Manager at Simple, who explores behavioural design, gamification, conversational coaching and AI in products intended to support long-term behaviour change. He also experiments with using AI to accelerate… Register for this event

⌖ Brighton · The Walrus

Hosted by BRIGHTHINK

Explore the history of brain-machine technology with author Mike Jay at The Walrus in Brighton on 19 November 2026. From speculative fiction to Neuralink As humanity and technology become increasingly interwoven, WIREHEADS: An Unnatural History of Technology in the Brain examines the most intimate frontier of all: attempts to connect machines directly with the human mind. Acclaimed Psychonauts author Mike Jay will trace the tangled history of the electronic devices, magnetic signals, implants and computer interfaces designed, or imagined, to enhance, control and rewire the brain. His account brings together mavericks and scientists, crackpots and artistic visionaries, showing how ideas once confined to speculative fiction have informed real experiments and contemporary technology. The talk will move across subjects including: - The brain technologies imagined by H. G. Wells and Philip K. Dick - Simulated realities represented in The Matrix - The CIA’s Cold War experiments and covert military operations - Psychedelic art, moral philosophy and cybernetic theory - Elon Musk’s Neuralink and the pursuit of neural enhancement - Questions of artificial bliss, behavioural control and connection to higher intelligence At its heart, the evening asks whether brain-machine interfaces might eventually direct our thoughts and behaviour, or whether technology is already doing so. It will also consider what these efforts to understand and modify the brain reveal about being human in a potentially post-human age. Talk format and audience Q&A Presented by BRIGHTHINK as part of its In Conversation series, this is a 90-minute, in-person event combining a live talk with an audience Q&A. It should appeal to anyone interested in AI, neuroscience, cybernetics, technology history, speculative fiction, psychedelia, philosophy or the social consequences of human-machine integration. Doors open at 7pm, the event begins at 7:30pm, and the audience Q&A is scheduled for 8:30pm. The venue is The Walrus, 10 Ship Street, Brighton and Hove, BN1 1AD. Attendees under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Refunds are available up to five days before the event. Get tickets for WIREHEADS
