AI Build Blitz

⌖ Washington · Zorba's Café

Hosted by The DC Digital Minds Meetup

Explore machine souls, human identity and meaningful AI coexistence through an informal philosophical discussion in Washington. The first Human-AI Coexistence Salon from The DC Digital Minds Meetup takes place at Zorba’s Café on Sunday, 1 November 2026, from 12:00–1:30pm EST. Rather than a formal talk or technical workshop, this is a casual, open-ended conversation about the questions emerging where artificial intelligence meets philosophy, ethics and deeply held beliefs. The opening discussion will consider whether machines could have souls and what it means to remain human in a world increasingly shared with digital minds. It is inspired by a recent New York Times article about Anthropic’s conversations with the Vatican; attendees can read the article through this gift link beforehand, although advance reading is not required. Bring your questions, curiosity and personal perspective while enjoying Greek food and conversation. People of all faiths or none are warmly welcome, and the organisers encourage a broad range of viewpoints. No formal speaker line-up is listed. Venue: Zorba’s Café, 1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009. Register for the Human-AI Coexistence Salon

⌖ Bristol · Changing Social, St Bartholomew's House

Bristol’s November D365PPUG meetup brings Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform users together for two expert talks, networking, food and conversation. Taking place on Thursday 12 November 2026 at 18:30 GMT, this free, in-person South West User Group meeting offers a welcoming place to exchange practical knowledge with people working across the Microsoft business applications ecosystem. The event will be held at a new venue, Changing Social in St Bartholomew’s House, Lewins Mead, Bristol, around the corner from Bristol Beacon and the Hippodrome. What to expect The evening combines structured learning with plenty of time to meet other members of the regional community. Its format includes: - Two 45-minute speaker sessions covering Dynamics 365 and Power Platform - Informal networking with fellow users, makers and professionals - Food and refreshments provided during the meetup - An optional social afterwards for anyone who wants to continue the conversation The detailed agenda and speakers are still to be confirmed. Across the wider D365PPUG community, meetings address the full Dynamics 365 and Power Platform landscape, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Power Virtual Agents. Sessions can explore technical areas such as development and solution architecture, alongside business-focused subjects including user adoption, change management and business analysis. The final topics for this Bristol edition will be announced by the organiser. Who should attend? This event is suitable for all experience levels. Whether you are beginning to explore Microsoft Power Platform, already building business applications and automations, administering Dynamics 365, shaping solution architecture or supporting organisational adoption, the group is designed to encourage open knowledge sharing without requiring a particular level of seniority. D365PPUG grew from a Dynamics CRM user group founded in 2011 and has since expanded into a UK-wide community covering both Dynamics 365 and the broader Power Platform. Its regional evening meetings provide a smaller, more conversational alternative to the organisation’s flagship national events, making this a useful opportunity to ask questions, compare approaches and build local professional connections.
