After SWITCH: B71 Networking Mixer

⌖ Singapore · SGInnovate

Hosted by Techies

Explore emerging developer careers in the AI era at this practical Techies and SGInnovate talk in Singapore on 22 October 2026. AI is reshaping how technology teams build, ship and operate products, and creating specialised roles at the intersection of engineering, business and users. This candid career session examines what these jobs involve day to day, which skills matter, current hiring trends and how practitioners found their way into the field. Topics covered - Forward Deployed Engineering: enterprise AI rollouts, customer engineering and field consulting - Developer Relations: developer communities, technical advocacy and translating user feedback into product features - AI Security Analysis: red teaming, model vulnerabilities, risk assessment and deployment security - AI Governance Analysis: compliance, practical frameworks and responsible AI development The evening opens with networking, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. It then shifts into a Human Library: each practitioner hosts a table where attendees can ask direct questions, hear unfiltered career advice and explore individual career paths in small groups. This event is designed for software engineers considering their next move, technical product managers, AI builders, students, early-career professionals and career switchers exploring technical work beyond pure coding. The event runs 6:30–9:00pm GMT+8 at SGInnovate, 32 Carpenter Street, Singapore 059911. It is co-hosted by Techies and SGInnovate, supported by the SkillsFuture Festival, with 42 Singapore as community partner. Registration is currently full, but the waitlist is open.

⌖ Berlin

Explore sustainable AI factories, sovereign European infrastructure and energy-efficient compute with Polarise at GTC Berlin, 20–22 October 2026. Polarise will exhibit at GTC Berlin 2026 in Berlin, presenting its approach to building the infrastructure behind responsible, high-performance AI services. Running from 20 to 22 October 2026, the event offers an opportunity to meet the Polarise team and discuss how sustainable digital infrastructure can support ambitious AI projects without losing sight of data sovereignty or environmental responsibility. What Polarise will showcase The company’s presence will centre on AI Factories backed by a first generation of sustainable digital infrastructure. Visitors can explore four connected areas: - AI Factories and the infrastructure required to deliver modern AI services - European AI sovereignty solutions - Green AI compute optimisation - More energy-efficient approaches to running AI workloads Together, these themes address a practical challenge for organisations adopting AI at scale: how to secure the computing capacity they need while retaining control over data and reducing the environmental impact of intensive workloads. Polarise positions its infrastructure as a foundation for responsible AI development, combining technical capability with European sovereignty and sustainability priorities. Who should visit the booth? Polarise’s exhibition will be particularly relevant to organisations evaluating AI infrastructure, teams delivering AI-powered services, and potential partners interested in sovereign or energy-conscious compute. It should also appeal to decision-makers exploring how infrastructure choices affect performance, data governance and environmental goals. The format is centred on the exhibition booth and pre-arranged conversations rather than a published talk or workshop programme. Attendees can schedule dedicated time with the Polarise team to explore partnership opportunities and discuss how its infrastructure could support the delivery of cutting-edge AI services. The booth number has not yet been announced. For a focused conversation during the event, book a meetup with the Polarise team at the booth.… Register for this event
