⌖ London · Inspire St James

Hosted by Mindstone

Explore practical AI, LLM product-building and idea protection at Mindstone’s in-person meetup in London on 20 October 2026, with talks and networking. Mindstone brings its monthly AI meetup to Inspire St James for an evening focused on how artificial intelligence is being built, applied and understood in the real world. Running from 6pm to 9pm, the event combines three distinct talks with technical demonstrations, practical guidance and a chance to meet others working with or exploring AI. What to expect The programme approaches AI from three complementary angles: - What I Learned Building With LLMs , a technical demonstration breaking down the process of creating an AI-powered product, including real-life lessons and insights gathered while building with large language models. - How to Be More Productive Using AI , a practical, step-by-step demonstration showing how AI can help people complete tasks faster and improve the way they work. - Using AI? What You Need to Know About Protecting Your Ideas , Anna Orchard examines idea protection alongside the wider impact of AI on work, everyday life and society. This mix of product-building, productivity and broader implications gives attendees a rounded view of the current AI landscape. The technical session will be particularly useful for builders and people interested in creating with LLMs, while the productivity demonstration offers applicable ideas for anyone looking to use AI more effectively. The final talk adds a theoretical perspective for professionals, founders and creators thinking about how AI affects their work and intellectual output. Talks, food and community This is a three-hour, in-person event, rather than a purely technical workshop or conference. After the presentations, the evening moves into an informal networking session with pizza and drinks. It is an opportunity to discuss the talks, compare practical experiences and connect with fellow AI enthusiasts, builders and pioneers from across London.… Register for this event

Hosted by Amber Williamson, Digital Willow marketing agency

Build a working AI lead-nurturing agent in half a day at this hands-on London workshop for senior directors, taking place on 21 October 2026. Turn warm contacts into an active sales pipeline Valuable enquiries can easily slip through the cracks when follow-up depends on memory, spreadsheets and limited time. This practical, in-person workshop shows you how to build Leonard: an AI marketing and sales agent designed around your own business, leads, tone of voice and sales process. Led by Amber Williamson, CEO of Digital Willow marketing agency, the session focuses on creating a working system rather than simply discussing AI strategy. During the afternoon, you will build the agent live in the room and begin using it to capture warm leads, automate follow-up and keep opportunities moving through your pipeline. What you’ll work on By the end of the workshop, you will have had the opportunity to: - Build a working AI lead-nurture agent using your own business context - Connect the agent to the inbox and calendar where your leads already live - Define exactly what qualifies as a lead within your organisation - Bring real, warm contacts into one straightforward system before leaving - Shape the agent around your preferred communication style and existing sales process No technical background is required. The workshop is intended for senior directors who want a more systematic approach to handling enquiries and nurturing potential customers. You should bring a laptop and have access to your inbox and calendar so that you can work with your own setup during the session. Format, support and pricing This is a half-day, hands-on workshop held in person in London on Wednesday 21 October 2026. The venue is currently listed as TBC, with the event page showing the SE1 3JW area. Tickets cost £1,495 per director. The price includes a two-week testing plan and a 30-minute one-to-one session with Amber after the build, giving you time to review how the agent performs beyond the workshop. Once the agent is live, there will also be a small ongoing usage charge from the AI platform provider; this will be explained on the day. The organiser lists a no-refunds policy.
