A weekly, community-led AI meetup in Chiang Mai covering new tools, product launches, automation and AI’s social impact.
Taking place on Sunday 13 September 2026, from 11:00am to 12:00pm ICT, this informal one-hour gathering offers a practical way to keep up with a fast-moving field. Rather than focusing on a single platform or technical discipline, the group discusses the week’s most relevant AI news, emerging trends and product releases alongside the broader questions these technologies raise for society.
What to expect
The meetup has a friendly, community-led format, with participants encouraged to exchange discoveries, experiences and useful approaches. Weekly conversations may include:
Recent AI news, trends and notable product launches
Practical AI tools, including free and low-cost options
Tips for getting better results when working with AI
Automation, website building and advanced workflows
Questions about the social impact of artificial intelligence
The emphasis is on useful, accessible knowledge rather than hype. It is an opportunity to hear what other people are trying, compare approaches and discover resources that may be relevant to your own work or projects.
Who is it for?
No single experience level is required. The event welcomes people who are simply curious about AI as well as those already applying it professionally, creating automations, building websites or developing more sophisticated workflows. Beginners, small business owners, creators and freelancers are particularly welcome, while experienced users can contribute practical insight and learn from the wider community.
The event is hosted by Lya and presented by AI Fusion Labs through the AI Fusion Labs Chiang Mai Meetup group. It forms part of a recurring Sunday series, giving attendees a regular place to follow developments and build connections with other AI users in the city. Detailed weekly announcements are shared in the group’s Telegram community.

Explore and experiment with the week’s latest AI technology at this informal coffee meetup for coders in Chiang Mai on Saturday, 14 November 2026. A weekly space for practical AI exploration AI Engineers Weekly Chiang Mai brings local coders together to discover new developments in AI, discuss what has changed during the week and try the technology for themselves. Rather than following a fixed conference-style programme, the meetup centres on open conversation, experimentation and knowledge-sharing over coffee. The session runs from 10:00 to 12:00 ICT at The Kannas Hotel in Chiang Mai. This event is part of a recurring Saturday series scheduled weekly until 1 January 2027, making it a useful regular touchpoint for anyone who wants to keep pace with a fast-moving field. What to expect During the two-hour meetup, attendees will: - Check out the latest AI technology from the week - Discuss new tools, developments and ideas with other coders - Play around with the technology in an informal setting - Learn from the different experiences and perspectives in the room - Have the opportunity to demonstrate something they have been working with The format is deliberately collaborative: participants can bring discoveries, questions or demos and explore them alongside the group. No named speakers or formal presentations are listed, so the value comes from active discussion and hands-on peer learning rather than a one-way lecture. Who should attend? Coders of all experience levels are welcome. You do not need to be an established AI engineer to take part; the organisers emphasise that everyone can learn from one another. The meetup should be particularly relevant to developers, technical builders and curious programmers who want a regular opportunity to examine current AI technology with other practitioners.
