Hosted by Give(a)Go

Dublin AI Week opens on Friday 2 October 2026 with an evening of networking, food and drinks for the city’s AI builders, founders and teams. Start Dublin AI Week with the community Taking place from 6:00pm to 10:00pm in Dublin 8, this opening night is the social launch of a city-wide, community-led programme dedicated to practical AI. It is a chance to meet the people building, researching and applying AI across Dublin before a full week of sessions begins. Rather than a formal conference or technical workshop, the evening has a relaxed, conversational format. Expect networking, introductions, food and drinks, along with a few announcements about the events and communities involved in Dublin AI Week. Attendees will also get an early look at some of the people and activities shaping the programme running from 2 to 9 October. The wider week will bring together companies, independent communities and builders for: - Practical AI sessions and build days - Product and technology demonstrations - Research-focused conversations - Creative events exploring new uses of AI - Opportunities to connect with Dublin’s technical and startup communities Who should attend? The event welcomes builders, founders, researchers, students, operators, designers and AI teams from across the city. It should suit both people already working directly with AI and those looking to understand the local ecosystem, find collaborators or discover practical events to attend during the rest of the week. No specific level of technical experience is stated, and the emphasis on informal conversation makes this an accessible entry point to the programme. Community-led from the outset The opening night is presented by Give(a)Go, one of Ireland’s largest builder communities. Give(a)Go brings together more than 2,500 engineers, founders and product people through hands-on events centred on learning by creating working prototypes. The page also highlights Baseline, an independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland.

Hosted by Make

Build a working AI project at this hands-on workshop hosted by Make in Barcelona on 18 September 2026. Designed as a practical lead-up to AI Summit Barcelona 2026, this four-hour, laptop-open session prioritises making over passive listening: arrive with a clear idea and leave having built something tangible. What to expect The workshop runs from 5:00pm to 9:00pm GMT+2 at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. After a quick introduction and framing session, attendees will split into focused groups of five to ten people. Each group will follow a shared curriculum with guidance from an experienced lead, creating space for personal support, faster progress and practical problem-solving. The evening includes: - A concise introduction to set goals and frame the build - A substantial hands-on AI project session in small, led groups - A short Q&A about ethical AI and responsible building - Networking at the end of the evening, sponsored by Make Every attendee will receive 25,000 Make credits, enabling participants to experiment during the workshop and continue developing automations and AI agents afterwards. Make provides a visual environment for managing workflows and agents, with connections to more than 3,000 apps. Its transparent approach lets teams see workflow logic and build without relying on developers. More information is available on the Make website. Who should apply? This is an intermediate-level workshop, not an introductory talk about AI. It is aimed at builders ready to create something real, including aspiring founders and professionals who want to automate processes or improve how they work with AI. The workshop centres women and non-binary people building with AI. Men are welcome when attending alongside a woman or non-binary participant. Bring your own laptop and come prepared with a specific project idea you want to explore. Attendance is application-based and places are limited. The hosts review every registration to keep groups focused and working at a similar level, so applicants should answer the registration questions clearly and explain what they intend to build. Registration is subject to approval, and the exact location details are shared with approved participants.… Register for this event

⌖ London · London

Hosted by Flowgrammer.Club

A four-hour London workshop on 15 September 2026 showing B2B leaders how to turn AI and intelligent automation into measurable operational ROI. Presented by Flowgrammer.Club with Makeitfuture and Make, Leading in AI: Digital Transformation for B2B moves beyond the rush to adopt AI and asks the commercial question that matters: is the technology producing real financial returns? The workshop focuses on a practical sequence for successful digital transformation: connect existing systems and data, automate predictable processes, and then introduce AI where it can genuinely improve outcomes. Through live examples, real customer numbers and direct discussion, the hosts will explain why the right order of operations separates effective programmes from those that fail. What the morning covers - Connecting your technology with AI: learn how to layer intelligent automation onto systems your organisation already uses, rather than forcing AI onto disconnected data. - Real results and measurable ROI: examine how businesses have automated core operations and assess customer results from end to end. - Where AI belongs,and where it does not: compare tasks where AI outperforms conventional workflows with those where a predictable automation remains the better choice. - Cost and quality guardrails: consider how to implement AI without paying dramatically more for an outcome that could be achieved through a standard workflow. This is an in-person, business-focused session rather than a purely technical conference. Expect straight talk instead of slide-heavy theory, customer proof points, live implementation examples and opportunities to meet other decision-makers. It is designed specifically for operations managers, directors and business leaders responsible for digital transformation, with founders and leaders from finance, operations and technology also expected in the room. No coding experience is listed as a requirement. Schedule - 10:00 , Doors, coffee and networking - 10:30 , Connecting your technology with AI - 11:15 , Real results, real ROI: customer numbers end to end - 12:15 , Where AI belongs, and where it doesn’t - 13:00 , Lunch and networking - 14:00 , Event concludes… Register for this event

⌖ Berlin · Impact Hub Berlin

Hosted by Make

Build a working AI-powered business app in one afternoon at this hands-on Softr x Make hackathon, taking place at Impact Hub Berlin on 14 September 2026. A side event of Berlin AI Day, this practical no-code hackathon explores how AI, Model Context Protocol (MCP) and workflow automation can work together to turn an idea into a functioning end-to-end product. You can arrive with a specific business problem or use the session to discover what is possible when an app builder and an automation platform are combined. Make provides the automation and orchestration layer: connecting data, triggering actions and managing the logic behind the product. Softr provides the interface, enabling participants to create portals, internal tools, dashboards and other business apps without writing backend code. Together, the platforms give teams both the engine and the front end needed to ship something tangible. What to expect The afternoon combines short platform introductions with focused building time, live support and project presentations. Sonia from Make and Francisco from Softr will host, while members of both teams will be on the floor to help participants connect the pieces, solve problems and develop their projects further. You could work on: - AI workflows powered by MCP - Automations that move data and trigger actions - Customer or team portals - Internal tools and operational dashboards - Complete no-code business apps built on top of automated workflows The published schedule begins with doors and registration at 13:00, followed by introductions to Softr and Make. Participants then move into two building sessions separated by a coffee break. From 16:30, teams present their work and winners are selected, before final remarks, pizza and drinks. The event closes at 17:55. Who should attend? This hackathon is designed for builders, operators, IT leaders and anyone curious about AI-powered app development. No advanced technical background is required. Bring a laptop and take part either independently or with a team; both solo builders and groups are welcome. The event takes place at Impact Hub Berlin in Berlin. Registration is required to view the exact address. Register for the Softr x Make Hackathon
