London — Week of 19 Oct 2026

GCA Cyber Security 4: supplier engagement event 2 – PA23 mechanisms Hosted by techUK.

Multi-session senior leadership academy running from 19 October to 10 November, delivered with CFTE, on leading AI adoption in financial services. Combines strategic briefings, AI-in-action demos, leadership application exercises, governance and operating-model work, and a senior peer forum. Previous cohorts included Lloyds, Nationwide and Starling.

Calling all young innovators, creators, and tech enthusiasts! Prepare for a October Camp packed with excitement, learning and non-stop fun.

UK Finance's annual conference on tokenised markets and digital money, subtitled debt, disruption and digital. The agenda is the institutional end of the subject: tokenised debt issuance, settlement, and what digital money means for banks that have to implement it rather than theorise about it. It is run by the trade body that speaks for the UK banking sector, at its own building at 1 Angel Court in the City. Paid; the ticket price was not published on the registration page, so check before booking. Starts 09:30. Why go: the most institution-facing event of the autumn on this subject, which makes it the place to hear what banks will actually ship rather than what crypto conferences hope they will. Best for fintech founders selling into banks, capital-markets technologists and anyone working on settlement or digital-asset infrastructure.

A defining day for leaders using AI, brand and sharper thinking to build a more relevant, resilient estate agency business.

A half-day session from Royce Imperial on getting metamaterials and metasurface technologies out of proof-of-concept and into manufacture: the facilities you need, the funding routes available, and the collaborations that make a scale-up possible. Held at Imperial's South Kensington campus, 180 Queen's Gate, and free to attend. The focus is translation rather than physics, so expect discussion of equipment access, pilot lines and grant structures alongside the science. Why go: metamaterials sit in the awkward gap between a published result and a product, and this is a room built specifically around that gap, hosted by one of the UK's materials-innovation hubs. Best for deeptech founders, materials researchers thinking about a spinout, and investors or engineers who need to understand what scaling a metasurface actually requires.

Dr Ruby Wang presents her new book, China Cure, which traces China's shift from importing medicines to competing globally in biotech, AI-assisted drug discovery and public health, hosted by the Lau China Institute at King's College London. Free, at the King's Building on the Strand, starting 10:30. The format is a book presentation with discussion rather than an industry panel. Why go: most London events about AI in medicine look at the US and Europe; this one is specifically about the market and research base that increasingly sets the pace in biotech, from someone who has written the long-form account of it. Best for health-tech founders, life-sciences investors and anyone whose roadmap assumes China is a follower rather than a competitor.

Join us in Ealing for a fun, interactive day exploring a range of digital support on offer across the borough.

Join this event to network with like-minded entrepreneurs and hear from guest speakers who started their business from humble beginnings.

Second session in the Government Commercial Agency Cyber Security 4 series, focused on Procurement Act 2023 mechanisms.

with Sarah Meiklejohn (Professor of Cryptography and Security, University College London) · Patrick Gage Kelley (Researcher, Google)

A workshop on how people give and take advice when a question has no rational answer. Sarah Meiklejohn and Patrick Gage Kelley run it as a group exercise rather than a lecture: participants share the approaches they actually use, and the room compares what emerges. Part of the session looks at how the source changes the advice — a partner, a stranger on a forum, or a chatbot — which is where it stops being a philosophy evening and starts being about what we are all now doing with LLMs. The workshop itself runs about an hour, with food and drinks before and after and alumni from earlier Newspeak cohorts around. Why go: an unusually reflective hour with two serious security and privacy researchers, in a format that gets people talking instead of listening. Best for anyone building or researching AI systems people turn to for judgement.

This event is now full - make sure to keep an eye out for the next one (probably in Jan) Come and join Emmie and Mae at The Female Founders Rise Show, live from The Fable, one of London's most gorgeous female-founded venues.

Many organizations have invested in product transformation to become more customer-focused, accelerate innovation, improve financial performance, and build more engaged teams. Yet the reality has often fallen short of expectations.

Showcase of AI deployments inside large organisations, with short presentations from teams running models in production. For engineering, data and product people in enterprise settings.

Meet ambitious people working across LegalTech, legal services, technology, AI, compliance and emerging digital solutions.

The fourth Builders Foundry session, on multi-agent architecture in production: orchestration and delegation, context-sharing between agents, and the guardrails that keep them inside the lines. Real-world scenarios and live demos, with a walkthrough of building pro-code, deeply customised agents in Copilot Studio using capabilities, knowledge and tools. Free, at Encode Hub, 41 Pitfield Street in Hoxton, from 18:00. Why go: it is an engineering session rather than a strategy one - patterns, failure modes and demos, with the Microsoft agent stack treated as something you extend in code rather than configure in a wizard. Best for engineers and technical leads building agent systems who want to compare architecture choices with people doing the same thing.

Meet cool marketing, advertising, and PR pros ready to team up and boost your startup’s game in a chill, casual vibe.

**Book your place at** **WE NO LONGER ACCEPT RSVP'S VIA MEETUP.** **Stablecoins Grow Up: From Crypto Rails to Real-World Money** Stablecoins have been part of crypto for years. But increasingly, the interesting question isn’t what they are — it’s what happens next.

London AI Meetup's October edition with Lovable, on what is now genuinely buildable with current models and tooling - the gap between demo and shipped product, shown through demos and short talks rather than slideware, followed by networking. Free, from 18:30. The exact address is shared with registrants on the event page. Why go: Lovable is one of the few AI app-building tools with real usage behind it, and a session where the builders show their own work tends to be more useful than a panel on the state of the field. Best for product engineers, indie builders and founders deciding how much of their next product they can assemble with these tools.

Building Connections, Elevating Opportunities: Networking Event for Property Entrepreneurs and Professionals in London

Building Connections, Creating Opportunities: A Networking Event for Property Professionals and Entrepreneurs in London

Tim Spector: The Science of Good Mood Food Taking place at Union Chapel.

Campaign Lab's fortnightly hack night at Newspeak House: an open working session on data and tooling for democratic campaigning, from canvassing data and voter models to open-data projects and the plumbing that local campaigns actually run on. Free, open to newcomers, from 19:00 at 133-135 Bethnal Green Road. You can arrive with a project or join someone else's; there is no programme to sit through. Why go: one of the longest-running civic-tech communities in London and the most reliable way to meet the people who build tools for campaigns, elections and local democracy. Best for data scientists, developers and researchers who want their evenings to produce something, and for anyone curious about civic tech without wanting to commit to a conference.

SEV0 is incident.io's annual conference on reliability and incident management, and it is pitched squarely at the people who get paged: SREs, engineering leaders and CTOs talking about how their organisations actually respond when things break. A single day at Kings Place, 90 York Way, starting 07:30. Tickets are GBP 150. Why go: incident response is one of those practices everyone claims to have and few run well, and a day of other companies' post-incident honesty is worth more than any vendor whitepaper. The organiser builds incident tooling, so expect product presence, but the programme is built around practitioners. Best for SREs, platform and on-call engineering leads, and heads of engineering rewriting their own incident process.

BizClik's AI summit at Olympia — enterprise AI strategy, with a large speaker roster drawn from FTSE and global technology firms. Paid.

A full-day gathering run by PUBLIC, the govtech firm, on where defence procurement and startup technology actually meet — dual-use hardware, autonomy, software acquisition and the question of how a small company gets through a defence buying cycle at all. Runs 09:00 to 17:30 at a central London venue. Free but approval-gated, and the exact address is shared with confirmed guests on registration. 326 people are already registered with roughly two dozen places left, so it is close to capacity. Why go: defence is where a lot of UK deeptech money is moving right now, and PUBLIC convenes the buyers as well as the builders — which is the part most defence-tech events miss. Best for founders, operators and investors in dual-use hardware, autonomy and govtech.

AI Accelerator Summit Peterborough: discover AI automation, business growth, cost savings, ChatGPT alternatives, tools & live demos.

CEME's open AI summit on its Rainham business campus in east London, pitched at businesses, innovators, professionals and students interested in where artificial intelligence is heading - a forum for exchanging perspectives on AI's role in innovation, business and the wider economy rather than a technical programme. Free, 10:00 to 12:30, at CEME Business Campus, Marsh Way, Rainham. Speakers and the detailed programme had still not been announced by the organiser as of 6 October, so treat it as a discussion morning rather than a billed line-up. Why go: it is the only AI event of the month out in the east London industrial corridor, and the audience is local manufacturers and SMEs rather than the central-London tech crowd - useful if you sell to them or want to hear how they are weighing it up. Best for business owners and operators in Havering, Barking and Thurrock.

A panel and open Q&A on the competing routes to a useful quantum computer - superconducting, trapped ion, photonic and the rest - and what separates engineering progress from a press release. Hosted at IDEALondon, 69 Wilson Street, with WilbeLABS. Free, from 17:30. IDEALondon is UCL's and Cisco's innovation centre in the City, so the room skews towards deeptech founders and the investors who follow them. Why go: quantum is the sector where the gap between claim and capability is widest, and an evening panel with people who have to pick a technology is a quick way to calibrate. Best for deeptech founders, hardware engineers and investors tracking quantum, and for anyone who needs an informed answer to "how close is it, really".

Join us for this free, public lecture at LSE. Taking place at OLD.3.24, Old Building, London School of Economics and Political Science.

An evening hackathon about automating the finance function of an early-stage company: agents that do the work a founder, a fractional CFO or an ops lead currently does by hand. Seapoint is launching its MCP here, which gives an agent structured access to accounts and balances, transactions and spend, cards, bills and invoices, vendors, treasury, burn and runway. You pick one piece of financial operations - the month-end close, the board pack, the payment run - and build something that does it, working in a Seapoint sandbox with seeded data, so no real bank accounts and no real money. Solo or teams of up to three. Co-hosted with 13books Capital, with Claude credits for everyone building. Doors 17:30, code freeze 20:20, top-five demos 21:25. Exact address is shared on registration. Why go: hands-on with a new finance MCP in a room of people who own startup finances, rather than a panel about agents. Best for founders, fractional CFOs, finance and ops leads.

with Anna Orchard (Trade Mark Attorney, Williams Powell) · Maury Shenk (Speaker, ) · Rhys Morris (Founder, TRM Flex)

Mindstone's monthly London AI meetup at Inspire St James: three practical talks and time to connect with other people building with AI. October's lineup, published by the organiser on 7 October: Anna Orchard (Trade Mark Attorney, Williams Powell) on what you need to know about protecting your ideas when you are using AI; Maury Shenk on emerging approaches to making AI follow your rules; and Rhys Morris (Founder, TRM Flex) on building an events platform with AI, and why keeping it simple was the hard part. Sponsors and partners this month: Recworks and Founders Capital. Doors from 18:00. Free. RSVP in advance. Why go: a consistent monthly room where the talks stay close to practice rather than product demos, and where the legal and governance side of shipping AI gets as much airtime as the engineering. Best for builders and founders who want the questions a client or a regulator will actually ask.

A game design evening that works like a book club: everyone plays the same game beforehand, the room pulls apart why it works, then builds paper prototypes inspired by it. This edition takes Don't Look Up, a game about hoarding advantage while keeping everyone else distracted. The shape of the night is discussion, dinner from the takeaways on Bethnal Green Road, prototyping with materials provided, then playing each other's prototypes. Hosted by William Wong in the Committee Room. Some familiarity with board games or game design helps but is not required. Why go: it is a rare hands-on systems-design session rather than a talk, and mechanics thinking transfers directly to product work. Best for designers, product people and anyone who thinks in incentives.

with Kanishka Narayan MP (Minister for Artificial Intelligence, UK Government) · Polly Mackenzie (Co-founder and CEO, Zinc Innovation Partners) · Steve Hare (CEO, Sage)

The Entrepreneurs Network launches new research, commissioned with Sage, on a shift in how young people enter work: since 2022 routes into payrolled employment have narrowed, and a growing number of 16-24-year-olds appear to be starting businesses instead, at a moment when generative AI has made that cheaper and faster. The launch is in the House of Lords and opens with remarks from Kanishka Narayan MP, Minister for Artificial Intelligence, followed by Polly Mackenzie, co-founder and CEO of Zinc Innovation Partners, and Steve Hare, CEO of Sage. The room is founders, policymakers and business leaders, and the discussion is aimed at what the findings mean for policy. Free to attend. Patrons, advisers and supporters of the network get priority, so register early. Why go: it is a rare room where the AI minister, a FTSE tech CEO and early-stage founders are debating the same data set. Best for founders and operators who want to see where policy on AI and self-employment is heading before it lands.

Imperial College London and Nexus put their deeptech spinouts and research teams in a room with the investors who back them, at Central Working White City. Short showcase pitches from teams coming out of the college, then drinks and pizza until 20:30. Free, but the door is strict: the organisers ask everyone to arrive by 18:30 and say entry cannot be accommodated after that, so treat 17:30-18:30 as the real arrival window. Why go: Imperial is the source of a large share of London's hard-science spinouts, and this is one of the few evenings where those founders are presenting rather than being written about. Best for deeptech investors, technical co-founder hunters and anyone working in materials, photonics, quantum or biomedical engineering who wants to see what is leaving the lab this year.

with James Allgrove (Go-to-market advisor, ex-Stripe GTM leader, Independent) · Alexander Christie (CTO and Co-founder, Attio) · Eric Oancea (GM Europe, Ramp)

A panel on the stage where a company is 20 to 200 people and the founder is still the default approver, the source of customer context and the person who unblocks operations. The discussion is about turning that knowledge into systems and clear ownership - what to standardise, what to delegate, and where a founder should stay close - across revenue, spending and day-to-day execution. Speaking: James Allgrove, a go-to-market advisor who was an early Stripe employee and launched its UK business; Alexander Christie, CTO and co-founder of Attio; and Eric Oancea, who runs Ramp's European expansion and founded climate-tech company Root Global. Hosted by Attio with Ramp UK. Arrivals 18:30, panel and Q&A at 19:00, food and drinks after. Exact address shared on registration. Why go: three operators who have actually done the handover, not consultants describing it. Best for founders and early operators at Seed to Series B who are building the layer underneath themselves.

An evening on real-time analytics at scale from the ClickHouse London User Group, at The Clermont on the Strand. It runs straight on from ClickHouse's full-day London training, so a good part of the room will have spent the day on the same material. Three 25 to 30 minute talks between 19:00 and 20:25, with Q&A and networking either side; food and drink are provided. Speakers had not been announced at the time of writing, and the group's call for speakers is still open. ClickHouse is the open-source columnar database behind real-time analytics at Meta, OpenAI and Tesla, and the group says the evening is open to engineers, data practitioners and founders alike. Free, but places are capped and RSVP is required. Why go: it is the London room for people running analytical databases in anger rather than evaluating them, and the overlap with the training day means unusually deep hallway conversations. Best for data and platform engineers already working with ClickHouse or weighing it up.

Supper-club evening at Newspeak House for the residency's community of technologists and civic-tech people. Sign-up by form; cooking and conversation rather than talks.

Two practitioner panels on agentic AI that is already executing in live financial services and insurance operations — payments, FX and treasury on one side, underwriting, claims and pricing on the other. Run as the next Future Forward session by Blott, Walmer Group and IFX Payments.

The stated agenda covers accountability when an autonomous agent gets it wrong, and the control, oversight and audit layers regulators will expect. Free, approval-gated. Why go: the speaker list is operators running this in regulated production, not vendors describing a roadmap. Best for engineering and product leads in fintech and insurtech.

with Eben Upton (Co-founder and CEO, Raspberry Pi)

Eben Upton in conversation about building Raspberry Pi from a Cambridge idea for getting more young people into computing into a listed technology company that has shipped tens of millions of boards. The thread is the early decisions — studying and teaching computer science at Cambridge, engineering at Broadcom, then designing a programmable computer cheap enough to be bought on a whim — and what he has learned from making something that shaped how a generation learned to build. Hosted by Granola at their Old Street office. Doors 17:30, talk starts at 18:00 and the doors close then. Free, approval-gated, drinks and snacks provided, and the organisers expect it to be heavily oversubscribed. Why go: founder conversations this candid with someone who actually built hardware at scale are rare in London. Best for hardware and deeptech founders, and anyone who learned to code on a Pi.
