⌖ Chiang Mai · The Kannas Hotel

Hosted by Marcus S. and nick f.

AI Engineers Weekly Chiang Mai is a coffee meetup for coders exploring current AI technology, held on 24 October 2026 from 10:00–12:00 ICT at The Kannas Hotel. Explore the latest AI technology with fellow coders This informal Saturday meetup creates a regular space for developers to examine the latest AI technology of the week, discuss what is changing and experiment with it together. Rather than following a fixed lecture programme, the session centres on shared exploration: attendees can raise new developments, compare perspectives and play around with emerging technology in the company of other AI-minded builders. The meetup is part of a weekly series taking place every Saturday until 1 January 2027. That recurring format makes it suitable both for visitors who want to attend a single session and local developers looking for an ongoing community in Chiang Mai. What to expect The two-hour format combines coffee, technical conversation and practical experimentation. The stated focus is to: - Check out noteworthy AI technology from the preceding week - Discuss new developments with other coders - Experiment with the technology during the meetup - Learn through the knowledge and experience of fellow attendees There is also room to bring along and demonstrate something relevant. If you plan to use your computer for a demo or hands-on exploration, arrive with it fully charged: the venue does not provide charging facilities. Who is it for? Coders of all experience levels are welcome. You do not need to be an established AI engineer to take part; the organisers emphasise learning from one another. The meetup should particularly appeal to developers, technical makers and curious programmers who want a conversational, community-led way to keep up with fast-moving AI technology. Hosted by Marcus S. and nick f., the session is organised through the AI Engineers in Thailand group. Marcus is identified by Meetup as a Super Organizer.
