Hosted by tokens&

Build a production-ready real-time video AI agent in New York on 9 October 2026, with expert support, GPU compute and a ready-to-use builder stack. The VAST Builders Challenge is a one-day technical hack event for turning video archives into useful, searchable AI applications. Rather than starting from scratch, teams receive videos, infrastructure and development tools so they can focus on creating a shippable prototype. This New York edition forms part of a three-city series spanning New York, London and San Francisco. What you’ll build Choose your own video-agent concept and experiment with a stack covering: - Video understanding: reason over clips using NVIDIA Cosmos - Semantic search: find moments across hours of footage with natural-language queries - Object detection: run real-time detection and tracking across frames with YOLO - LLM-powered logic: use models from Weights & Biases to drive agent behaviour and application workflows The VAST AI OS handles video ingestion and the data layer, while models run on CoreWeave GPUs. Builders will ship using Cursor, with expert guidance and compute available throughout the day. Format and schedule Doors open at 8:30am EDT with breakfast, followed by opening keynotes at 9:00am. Building begins at 9:30am and continues through lunch before teams present demos at 4:30pm. The event concludes with awards at 6:30pm. Projects will be assessed by AI and infrastructure specialists from NVIDIA, VAST Data, CoreWeave and Weights & Biases, including Diego Garzon, Ravi Garg, Ram B., Brian Verkley, Prashanth Nalubandhu, Brandon Kates and Vera A.

⌖ Oxford · Oxford University Department for Continuing Education

Hosted by University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education

The Oxford AI Summit 2026 explores how to design and prototype applications with AI assistance,and how individuals and organisations can build the skills to do it. Taking place from 9:00am on 14 September 2026 at the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education in Oxford, this third-year summit connects the practical work of AI-assisted development with the wider challenge of skills and reskilling. What to expect The summit focuses on using AI as an active part of the application-development process. Rather than treating artificial intelligence only as a subject for discussion, the event is designed to help participants understand how AI assistance can support the creation and prototyping of applications. Its core themes include: - AI-assisted development and the changing process of building software - Designing and prototyping applications with help from AI - The skills people need to work effectively with AI-assisted workflows - Reskilling in response to new development methods and capabilities - Connecting practical application building with longer-term professional learning This combination gives the event a broader perspective than a narrowly technical development session. It brings together the immediate question of what people can build with AI and the strategic question of how existing skills, roles and learning pathways may need to evolve. Who should attend? The Oxford AI Summit is relevant to people who want to develop a practical understanding of AI-assisted application creation, as well as those responsible for helping others adapt to AI-enabled work. That may include developers, aspiring builders, technical professionals, educators, learning and development teams, organisational leaders, and professionals considering how to update their capabilities. It should be particularly useful for attendees interested in both sides of the transition: building with AI now and preparing people for the skills that AI-assisted development requires. The emphasis on teaching participants to design and prototype applications also makes the summit relevant to those seeking a more applied perspective on AI, not simply a high-level overview of the technology.… Register for this event

⌖ Leicester · Bru Coffee Shop

Hosted by Ashley

Build apps, websites, automations and prototypes with AI at a relaxed, beginner-friendly build morning in Leicester on 12 September 2026. Hosted by Ashley for Vibe Code Social, this monthly hands-on session gives local builders a friendly place to make progress, exchange ideas and get unstuck. It runs from 10:00am to 12:00pm BST on Saturday 12 September 2026, upstairs at Bru Coffee Shop on Granby Street in Leicester. What to expect This is an open, social build morning rather than a formal class. The session begins with a short welcome and quick introduction round, giving everyone an opportunity to share: - Who they are and what they are building - Which AI or vibe-coding tools they use - The problem they are trying to solve - What they would like to get from the morning Afterwards, the room opens up for independent building, informal conversations and collaboration. You can pair with somebody working on a similar challenge, compare tools, ask for help with a blocker, join a small laptop show-and-tell or quietly focus on your own project. Expect people to share practical knowledge and make useful local connections without the pressure of presenting a polished result. Who it’s for The morning welcomes both technical and non-technical attendees. Some people may be shipping side projects, while others will be opening an AI builder for the first time. No technology background is required, and unfinished concepts, messy prototypes and “I don’t know where to start” ideas are all valid starting points. Projects could include apps, websites, automations, workflows, prototypes, side projects or ideas that are still taking shape. The common thread is curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
