⌖ Birmingham · Cornerblock - Bruntwood SciTech, Cornerblock, 2 Cornwall St, Birmingham B3 2DX, Birmingham, GB

Hosted by BrumAI

Join the Midlands' most vibrant AI community at BrumAI, bringing together over 2,600 AI enthusiasts, researchers, engineers, and curious minds in Birmingham. This May 2026 in-person meetup, hosted by Accenture at their new Cornerblock office in Bruntwood SciTech, offers a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge AI development practices and connect with the region's thriving tech community. What to Expect This session focuses on practical AI implementation in modern development workflows, featuring a live demonstration of AI-powered coding tools and an interactive discussion on real-world AI challenges. Whether you're using Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, AI Planning, Clustering, or Reinforcement Learning in your work, studying AI at university, or exploring online resources, this event provides valuable insights and networking opportunities. Featured Talk: Your AI Dev Partner in the Terminal Ekip Kalir, Full Stack Engineering Specialist at Accenture, will demonstrate Claude Code as an agentic development partner that operates directly from your terminal. This isn't just another code assistant — it's an AI agent that understands your entire codebase, plans multi-file changes, and commits updates autonomously. The live demo on a real Next.js repository will showcase: - How CLAUDE.md files provide persistent project memory - Custom Skills that package workflows into slash commands - Cowork functionality for non-terminal tasks in the Claude desktop app - Practical integration with VSCode in real development environments You'll leave with actionable knowledge you can implement in your own projects that same evening. Interactive Discussion: AI Implementation Challenges Dr Anandhi Vivek Dhukaram, BrumAI co-organiser and AI literacy specialist with 20+ years of experience, will facilitate an audience discussion on the biggest challenges people encountered with AI implementation. As a PhD holder in cognitive systems engineering and EU AI Act compliance strategist, Dr Dhukaram brings expertise in human-centric responsible AI adoption across industries. Who Should Attend This meetup welcomes AI and Machine Learning professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, students, engineers, and anyone curious about artificial intelligence. BrumAI has earned a 4.7 rating from over 532 attendees, reflecting the quality and value of these co
