Mindstone Cambridge February AI Meetup

⌖ Cambridge · The Bradfield Centre

Hosted by Software Crafters Cambridge

Practise AI-assisted software architecture in a hands-on group kata at The Bradfield Centre in Cambridge on 15 September 2026. This Cambridge Tech Week special offers a safe, collaborative setting in which to sharpen architectural thinking, explore trade-offs and learn how other practitioners approach the same business problem. Hosted by Natalie G. and Isaac O. for Software Crafters Cambridge, the session runs from 6:30pm to 9:00pm BST at The Bradfield Centre, 184 Cambridge Science Park Road. How the architecture kata works Rather than listening to a conventional talk, you will actively practise designing a software system. Participants will split into groups and receive a business problem that calls for a technical architecture. Each team will need to: - Examine the problem context and identify key requirements - Question a Product Owner to clarify uncertainties - Make and justify architectural and technology choices - Balance the kinds of constraints and trade-offs encountered in real projects - Use AI as part of the architecture-design process - Present its proposed architecture to the wider room The team showcases will lead into a group discussion, creating an opportunity to compare solutions, share insights and discuss software architecture best practices. Paper, pens and sticky notes will be supplied to support the activity. Each group will also receive access to one laptop for using AI. If you have an AI subscription that you are happy to use during the exercise, the organisers ask that you bring your laptop. Who should attend? The kata is open to experienced coders, software architects, AI engineers and people who are new to the field. You do not need previous architecture knowledge or attendance at an earlier session. The format is designed to make architectural practice repeatable and approachable, giving participants more opportunities to exercise design skills than they might encounter in their day-to-day roles.… Register for this event

The Cambridge AI × Robotics Roundtable launches a new international collaboration platform in Cambridge on 18 September 2026, connecting AI innovation with real-world robotics. Taking place from 1pm to 5pm at Cambridge Central Library, this Cambridge Tech Week 2026 Fringe event will bring together the people developing AI capabilities and those working on robotics platforms, manufacturing, physical deployment and commercialisation. The goal is to create a more connected AI × Robotics ecosystem rooted in Cambridge but designed to support international collaboration. Dialogue, demonstrations and strategic connections This is not structured as a traditional conference. Instead, the invitation-led, in-person format combines opening contributions, an innovation showcase, technology demonstrations, a substantial roundtable discussion and a networking reception. Attendees will explore practical pathways for moving software and algorithms into physical applications, while identifying opportunities for technology collaboration, business transformation and global partnerships. The programme includes: - 13:00 , Registration - 13:30 , Welcome from NPZ–CCV - 13:35 , Opening speakers - 13:55 , Strategic ecosystem partner - 14:00 , Innovation showcase and demos - 14:30 , Roundtable: Opportunity Dialogue - 16:00 , Networking reception - 17:00 , Close The roundtable is especially relevant to founders, researchers, AI and robotics companies, technology teams, established businesses, universities, investors and ecosystem partners. It should also appeal to industry leaders investigating how AI and robotics could support transformation within existing organisations. The emphasis is on informed cross-sector exchange rather than a specific technical experience level. Launching the Cambridge AI × Robotics Initiative The event marks the inaugural launch of the Cambridge AI × Robotics Initiative. Aligned with Cambridge Tech Week’s focus on turning deep technology into real-world impact, the initiative aims to connect emerging AI capabilities with manufacturing expertise, robotics systems, commercial use cases and established industry.… Register for this event

Hosted by AI Meetup

Explore practical, real-world AI at AI Meetup Cambridge 16, a free community evening at The Bradfield Centre on Thursday 1 October 2026. Running from 18:00 to 21:00, this monthly Cambridge meetup brings together curious builders, practitioners and newcomers for two concise talks followed by pizza, beer and plenty of conversation. The focus is firmly on people showing what they have made or learned with AI,not pitching products or delivering sales presentations. What to expect The evening follows a relaxed, accessible format: - 18:00 , Doors and introductions - 18:30 , Talk 01, approximately 25 minutes - 19:00 , Talk 02, approximately 25 minutes - 19:30 , Free beer, pizza and 90 minutes of networking - 21:00 , Wrap-up Speakers for the October edition are still to be announced. Each session will feature someone exploring AI in real life, sharing a project, experiment or useful lesson with the community. Keeping the talks short leaves plenty of time to meet fellow attendees, compare approaches and continue the discussion informally. Who should attend? You do not need a computer science degree, a startup or advanced technical experience. The meetup is designed for anyone curious about applied AI, including independent makers, developers, founders, students, researchers, product people and professionals investigating how the technology can be used in practice. It is equally suitable for experienced builders and people taking their first steps into the field. The event is capped at around 80 attendees, helping it retain a friendly, conversational atmosphere rather than feeling like a large conference. Entry is free, with no fee or sales funnel, but an RSVP is required. Venue and community The meetup takes place at The Bradfield Centre, 184 Cambridge Science Park Road, Cambridge CB4 0GA. The venue is around a five-minute walk from Cambridge North station, and parking is available on site. AI Meetup runs the evening for the community, with Clouxart as main sponsor and The Bradfield Centre as venue sponsor.

Hosted by ICAIDM

ICAIDM 2026 brings researchers and practitioners to Cambridge for three days of technical presentations, keynotes and discussion spanning artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure and data-driven management. The in-person conference takes place from 15–17 October 2026 at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, in Cambridge. Research themes The programme and call for papers cover both foundational AI research and real-world applications. Areas of interest include: - Machine learning and AI foundations: deep learning, reinforcement learning, transfer and meta learning, federated learning, model optimisation, explainable and trustworthy AI, and AI for scientific discovery - Communication and networking: intelligent wireless networks, traffic prediction, semantic communications, edge intelligence, AI-driven network management, and network security - Data and digital technologies: data engineering, big data analytics, knowledge graphs, cloud and edge computing, distributed platforms, IoT, cyber-physical systems, and data privacy - Digital management and AI applications: digital transformation, intelligent decision support, business analytics, smart cities, finance, industrial systems, operations optimisation, and emerging AI applications Attendees can expect an academic conference format built around paper presentations and keynote sessions.
