Hosted by Women's Tech Hub

Workshop Wednesdays is a welcoming tech study, career support and networking evening at DeskLodge House in Bristol on 14 October 2026. Hosted by Women’s Tech Hub, this recurring fortnightly meetup gives women in tech and their allies a safe, supportive place to learn, meet people and work through career questions. The session runs from 6:00pm to 8:30pm BST at DeskLodge House, 2 Redcliffe Way. What to expect The evening has a flexible, informal format rather than a fixed programme. You can use the time to study, work on your own project, discuss your career or simply connect with others interested in technology. Other tutorials may also run during the session, with opportunities to receive career guidance and introductions to additional supportive networks. Workshop Wednesdays also brings together members of the Python Dojo and Bristol Data Science and Machine Learning groups at the same event.

You can come along to: - Study independently in a supportive environment - Work on a technical or personal project - Meet people interested in Python, data science and machine learning - Ask questions about entering or returning to the tech industry - Discuss staying in the sector, progressing at work or changing direction - Get career guidance and discover other support networks - Network informally over light snacks and drinks Who is it for? All experience levels are welcome. You do not need to be established in a technical role or arrive with a particular project. The event is suitable for people considering a first career in tech, those trying to move up or return after time away, experienced practitioners looking for community, and anyone who would benefit from a welcoming place to learn. Women’s Tech Hub also welcomes male allies. New members are encouraged to attend, and there is no pressure to stay for the full two-and-a-half hours: if your schedule is tight, you can simply drop in, meet the group and say hello.

⌖ Amsterdam · TBA

Hosted by SourceHive

Explore how to build fast, secure AI systems powered by real-time data at this World Summit AI side event in Amsterdam. Taking place on Tuesday 6 October 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00 GMT+2, Intelligence in Motion brings SourceHive to Europe for the first time. The session tackles a pressing technical and organisational question: how can teams develop intelligent systems at speed without losing control of the data behind them? Affiliated with World Summit AI Amsterdam 2026, this two-hour event combines candid panel discussion, a live technical demonstration and audience-led conversation. The Amsterdam venue is still to be announced. What to expect The programme begins with a 30-minute, fast-moving panel debate examining secure, real-time data intelligence from three distinct perspectives: - The Visionary will unpack the architecture behind real-time data intelligence and explain why security should be designed into a system from day one rather than added later. - The Practitioner will address operational realities including data leakage, compliance pressure and the cost of getting AI governance wrong. - The Ecosystem Connector will connect current technical work with the direction the wider industry needs to take. Speaker profiles for the full panel are due to be announced. Following the debate, Hood Khizer, Chief Science Officer at AHOY Technology, will lead a live, on-stage demonstration showing how secure data intelligence moves from an abstract concept to a working system in real time. The final part of the session opens the floor to attendees. Rather than limiting participation to a short, formal Q&A, the organisers want the room to challenge assumptions, raise difficult questions and share what is happening inside their own projects and organisations. Who should attend? This event is designed for people already working deep within AI and data architecture as well as those beginning to navigate real-time data systems. It will be particularly relevant to developers, architects, technical leaders, AI practitioners, governance and compliance professionals, founders, creators and technologists interested in building responsible intelligent products.… Register for this event
