Hosted by Raenest

Raenest Exchange 2026 brings innovators, builders, creatives and decision-makers together in Lagos on 21 October to explore AI, crypto, technology, money and the future of work. Running from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM GMT+1, this full-day gathering is designed for thoughtful exchange rather than surface-level conversation. Raenest describes it as a select meeting of people shaping the next chapter of creativity, enterprise and technology,a setting where ideas can be tested, perspectives sharpened and meaningful connections formed. What to expect The programme sits at the intersection of several fast-moving areas: - AI and emerging technology, including their influence on how people build and work - Crypto, money and global finance - Creativity and innovation - The changing nature of enterprise and modern work - Focused conversations intended to create clarity, connection and inspiration Rather than being presented as a technical workshop or beginner-level class, Raenest Exchange is framed as an ideas-led gathering for people actively contributing to, creating within or making decisions about these fields. No specific experience threshold is stated, making it relevant to a broad mix of founders, operators, technologists, creative professionals, business leaders and other builders interested in where technology and commerce are heading. The extended event schedule allows space for deeper discussion and exchange across disciplines. This breadth is a defining feature: conversations about AI and crypto sit within a wider examination of creativity, borderless money, work and enterprise, connecting technological change with its practical and commercial implications. About the organiser The event is presented by Raenest, a global financial platform for individuals and businesses managing money across borders. Its services include multi-currency accounts in USD, GBP and EUR, alongside access to USDC, USDT, US stocks and other financial products. Beverly Ezebuike is listed as the host.

Hosted by n8n

In The Loop 2026 brings automation builders and enterprise operators to Berlin on 13–14 October for two days of n8n talks, workshops and networking. Hosted at Wilhelm Studios in Berlin, this is n8n’s first conference in its hometown. The programme combines Partner Day on 13 October with Ecosystem Day on 14 October, creating a meeting point for people building AI-powered workflows and teams treating automation as core infrastructure. Two tracks, practical lessons The conference focuses on real challenges rather than abstract possibilities. The Building with n8n track is for people designing and shipping automations. Sessions will explore how to structure reusable systems, prepare for failure, investigate unexpected behaviour and keep workflows fast and affordable as usage grows. Attendees will also learn how to connect modern AI services with legacy systems while keeping probabilistic AI agents within deterministic rules and human oversight. Running n8n at scale is aimed at technical leaders, platform teams and operators responsible for business-critical automation. Topics include: - Tuning infrastructure as demand increases - Security, compliance and enterprise governance - Establishing policies that continue to work as more employees build - Managing changes without breaking production workflows - Using execution data to diagnose unexpected results - Developing the people and practices behind a sustainable automation programme Talks, workshops and community Confirmed sessions range from Jan Oberhauser’s opening keynote, “Our Vision for What’s Next,” to Sindhuja Jeyabal’s production-focused session on n8n Agents and the Vercel SDK.

⌖ London · South Place Hotel

Hosted by Corinium Intelligence

A private London dinner for senior data, AI, technology and security leaders exploring secure runtime data controls for enterprise AI agents on 13 October 2026. Hosted by Skyflow and organised by Corinium Intelligence, The Secure AI Paradigm brings a select group of 10–15 executives to South Place Hotel in London. The focus is a critical production challenge: giving autonomous AI systems the information they need while retaining control over how sensitive data is accessed, processed and revealed. What the roundtable will explore As AI agents begin retrieving information, calling tools and taking action independently, static permissions and conventional security boundaries may no longer provide sufficient protection. This closed-door conversation will examine practical ways to embed privacy, governance and least-privilege access directly into enterprise AI architecture. Discussion points include: - Deciding which sensitive data an AI agent genuinely needs - Applying dynamic, policy-driven controls based on identity, agent, task and context - Protecting data as it moves through RAG systems, models, APIs and tools - Managing agent-to-tool and agent-to-agent connections - Protecting PII without stripping away the context AI needs to perform effectively - Translating security, privacy and regulatory requirements into enforceable technical controls - Identifying where existing access controls fall short for autonomous workflows The group will also consider what must change when an agent can independently retrieve information and act, and what safeguards would give enterprises confidence to scale agents across sensitive workflows. Roundtable hosts The discussion will be hosted by Javier Morao, EMEA Head of Data & AI at Citi, who leads data commercialisation across more than 50 countries and has over 15 years of experience in data, analytics and transformation within global financial services. He is joined by Roshmik Saha, Co-founder and CTO of Skyflow, a technologist with more than 15 years of experience building secure, scalable platforms. His background spans Microsoft and leadership of Lyft’s self-driving car infrastructure. View the event and registration details
