Do iOS 2026 brings Europe’s iOS developer community to Amsterdam for three days of hands-on workshops, technical talks and networking from 10–12 November 2026. The event opens on Tuesday with two full-day workshops: - Daniel Steinberg: on-device Apple Foundation Models, covering sessions, prompts, instructions, tools, private cloud compute, images, dynamic profiles and evaluations. Attendees need a Mac running Xcode 27 and an iOS 27 or macOS 27 deployment device. - Peter Friese: building a production-ready meal-planning and calorie-tracking app with Apple Foundation Models, Gemini and Firebase AI Logic. The conference follows on 11–12 November. Confirmed sessions explore scalable SwiftUI design systems, hybrid agentic apps using on-device and cloud models such as Claude and Gemini, FDA readiness for medical apps, iOS security testing, advanced App Intents, production visionOS use cases, adaptive interfaces, Object-Oriented UX and SwiftUI’s graph architecture. Douglas Hill will also introduce Rust through a Swift-shaped lens, while Ekaterina Volkova will discuss staying resilient as technical expertise evolves. Hosts Jeroen Leenarts and Daniel Steinberg lead a programme featuring Peter Friese, Raluca Bujor, Dharam Kapila, Alex Antonov, Cyril Cermak, Matvei Novoselov, Caitlin Steele, Mihaela Mihaljevic, Emanuele Agosta and others.

Explore how agentic AI is reshaping jobs, career paths, production systems and UK compute at Day 2 of Brazen Summit 2026 in Bristol. Taking place Tuesday 10 November, 9:30am–12:30pm, at St Nicholas Church, this three-hour, in-person programme moves beyond AI headlines to provide an evidence-based view for strategy, investment and workforce planning. Agenda highlights - The Last Job on Earth: AI entrepreneur and former Google and Amazon engineer Dr Daniel Duma examines what agentic AI can currently do, which roles face automation and how people can direct AI systems effectively. - Where’s the Ladder Gone?: Duma joins Emily Armstrong, Joel Gibbard MBE and Caelum Rosenkranz of Google Cloud to discuss disappearing junior roles, future leadership pipelines, workforce diversity and where human judgement still wins. - AI in the Real Economy: Kirstine Dale of the Met Office, Katie Gallagher OBE, Andrew Ward of nLighten and Su Crighton of KPMG share where production AI is delivering measurable results, and where reality still falls short of the promise. - UK infrastructure: A closing fireside chat with Dame Dawn Childs, CEO of nLighten, considers sovereignty, compute capacity and the infrastructure choices facing the UK. There will also be time to connect with fellow attendees between sessions. The morning is aimed at business leaders, technologists, HR and talent leads, policymakers, and anyone planning AI adoption. This event forms part of Brazen, Bristol’s week-long festival of technology, creativity and culture. Week passes are also available. Tickets are listed with a no-refunds policy.

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

Hosted by Demystifying AI Governance Dublin

Learn to classify real AI systems under the EU AI Act in this practical two-hour online workshop on 10 November 2026, from 11am to 1pm GMT. Hosted by Hycentina Ifeoma Ekwerike, AIGP, MSc, this small-group session moves beyond theory and gives you direct practice applying the Act’s risk tiers. Rather than listening to a lecture or being handed answers, you’ll develop and defend your own classifications with coaching throughout. What you’ll do - Work through real-world scenarios using a browser-based digital classification tool - Explore difficult edge cases, including exceptions and changing roles - Compare and defend your reasoning in small groups - Classify an AI system from your own work with feedback on your approach The workshop is designed for compliance, legal, risk, product, data and technology professionals responsible for assessing AI systems. Some familiarity with EU AI Act risk tiers is recommended; attending the organiser’s earlier introductory session is helpful but not required. Bring a laptop and an AI system you would like to classify. Examples should be generalised or anonymised, with no confidential information shared. Places are limited to 15 and cost €69 at the launch price. Full refunds are available until 72 hours before the session. The workshop is educational and does not constitute legal advice. Registration must be completed through Luma; responding on Meetup alone does not register you. View the event and follow the required Luma registration link.
