Hosted by Notion Singapore Community

Build your first AI agent at a hands-on Notion workshop in Singapore on 20 October 2026, no technical skills or Notion experience required. Presented by the Notion Singapore Community, AI Labs Singapore turns abstract AI ideas into practical workflows that teams can use immediately. The guided session explains how AI agents work before giving you dedicated time to build a custom agent around a real workflow in your workspace. This workshop is designed for leaders in marketing, finance, legal, operations and sales who want to improve their AI fluency through hands-on building rather than another theory-led talk. Schedule - 3:00pm: Arrival, registration and setup - 3:30pm: Agents 101, how agents work and what a good one looks like - 4:00pm: Guided agent-building session - 5:30pm: Drinks, bites, networking and additional build time with experts - 6:30pm: Event closes Attendees will leave with a working custom agent, a one-month Notion trial with free credits, and a follow-up consultation with an AI expert team.

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.
