⌖ Santiago · Hotel Mandarin

Hosted by Red Hat

Red Hat Summit: Connect Santiago 2026 explores how enterprises can adopt AI while retaining control of their data, infrastructure and technology strategy. Taking place on 27 October 2026 at Hotel Mandarin in Santiago, this Red Hat conference is designed for technology leaders and enterprise IT professionals working through the practical complexities of artificial intelligence adoption. It will be particularly relevant to teams operating at scale or within regulated industries, where governance, security and control cannot be treated as afterthoughts. What to expect The programme examines enterprise AI through an open-source lens, focusing on how organisations can pursue innovation without surrendering control of their underlying systems. The published themes include: - Data sovereignty and the enterprise AI challenge, considering the relationship between AI strategy, organisational data and infrastructure control. - Industry-specific applications, exploring AI in the context of real operational requirements rather than as a one-size-fits-all technology. - The open-source approach to enterprise AI, looking at how open technologies can support enterprise adoption and long-term flexibility. This is more than a high-level strategy conference. According to Red Hat, Summit: Connect offers access to technology experts alongside hands-on learning opportunities with Red Hat solutions. Attendees will also have options to meet Red Hat partners and exchange ideas with peers facing similar implementation questions. Who should attend? The event is aimed at technology decision-makers, enterprise architects, infrastructure and platform teams, cybersecurity professionals, and IT leaders responsible for introducing AI into complex organisations. It should also be useful for practitioners assessing how data sovereignty and industry constraints affect architecture choices. View the event and registration details

Hosted by Ireland Startup: Idea to IPO

Build and deploy an AI research agent in this three-hour online workshop on 27 October 2026, focused on faster company and competitor research. Rather than manually piecing together reviews, company news, hiring activity and market signals, you’ll customise an existing competitive-intelligence agent and turn scattered public data into structured findings. During the hands-on session, you will: - Clone a working agent from GitHub - Connect custom sources such as RSS feeds and open APIs - Test the agent live against a real company or competitor - Deploy a reusable agent designed to run 100+ research queries The same agent supports two practical workflows: Job Seeker Mode, for investigating growth, leadership, hiring and potential red flags before applying or accepting an offer; and Competitive Mode, for tracking competitors, market gaps, recruitment trends and strategic moves. Who it’s for This is not an introductory “how to use AI” tutorial. Attendees should already be comfortable asking questions and iterating with Claude. Bring a laptop and browser. Optional 10-minute pre-work covers cloning the repository, configuring an API key and checking that it runs; otherwise, setup will happen during the first 20 minutes. The ticket costs $17–27 and includes materials plus a post-work recap covering iteration, advanced techniques and troubleshooting. Meetup members receive 25% off with code MEETUP. Ethical guardrails and privacy boundaries are included. This online event is organised by Albert’s List, hosted by Albert and promoted by Ireland Startup: Idea to IPO. It is open worldwide.
