A BCS evening lecture on autonomous vehicles: how close the technology actually is, where the hard failure modes sit, and what the regulatory path looks like. Hybrid — attend in person at BCS on Copthall Avenue, or online. Why go: BCS lectures tend to be sober about timelines in a way vendor events are not, and the regulatory half of the self-driving question gets far less airtime than the perception-and-planning half even though it is the part that decides when anything ships. Best for engineers in automotive, robotics or safety-critical systems, and anyone tracking the UK regulatory picture. There is a real room in the City, so go in person if you want the discussion afterwards.

Dive into the future of money with crypto, fintech, and banking pros sharing insider tips and cool stories.

Alan Costley at the Royal Institution on the technologies competing to deliver working fusion reactors, and which of them might win the global race for clean power. Why go: fusion is the deep-tech sector where the gap between press release and physics is widest, and the Ri's lecture format is built for getting the actual engineering explained rather than the funding narrative. Best for climate-tech and deep-tech investors who need to tell the approaches apart, and for engineers who want an evening of real content in the Faraday theatre.

Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning Entrepreneurs, Investors and Professionals Networking Event in London

Life is about who you know. Dream jobs and careers, deep romances and friendships, great ideas and stories, all started with one person meeting another. Most networking events are about volume. More people, more intros, more overstimulation.

Connect with tech innovators, startup founders and entrepreneurs at London's networking event for ideas, opportunities and partnerships.

**PLEASE MAKE SURE TO BOOK YOUR TICKET IN ADVANCE TO ATTEND THE EVENT. YOU CAN RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE. [ Join us for the **Tech Startups Networking Event**, designed to connect innovative founders with essential service providers who can help propel their businesses to the next level.

Industry voice on Policing Reform: techUK member briefing and feedback session Hosted by techUK.

Morning session at Uncommon Liverpool Street for business owners working out where to apply AI first. Practical framing rather than a technical deep dive.

Join fellow CPOs for breakfast as we dig into what AI can own and what should always stay human in People Ops.

A one-day summit at the Hilton London Croydon, run by Croydon Business Association, bringing together tech leaders, business owners and Croydon residents around innovation and inclusion. Why go: almost every London tech event happens in a two-mile strip between Shoreditch and Soho, and south London businesses rarely get a room of their own. If you build, hire or sell outside zone 1 this is a more useful set of contacts than another Old Street evening. Best for founders and business owners in south London, and anyone whose market is outside the centre.

Join us for a day of exploring advancements in Vibrational spectroscopy.

What if young people could use gaming to help express their ideas about the spaces they would like to have in real life?

Short members' breakfast in Monument Square at Plexal, Here East - pastries and introductions across the campus community. Members and guests.

Join us this October Halfterm as we design and print our own unique tote bags.

Jon Lindsay at King's War Studies on his book Age of Deception, which argues that widespread trust in cyberspace is precisely what enables espionage and subversion - the vulnerability is the cooperation, not the code. Hosted by the School of Security Studies in the Dockrill Room. Why go: a structural account of cyber conflict from the international-relations side rather than the threat-intel side, in a department that does this seriously. Best for security engineers and policy people who want the strategic frame their vendor briefings never supply.

Meeting for university library staff involved in research data management and open research support.

Every year, a handful of technologies quietly shift from niche to strategically significant. Spotting them early is the job of horizon scanning: tracking the weak signals of change across the full science and technology landscape and assessing what they could mean for the UK. Hosted at techUK in London.

A storybook adventure where children read, imagine, build, and invent creative solutions to an environmental challenge.

An informal evening on the Second Home Spitalfields rooftop, hosted by Advapay, for UK fintech, payment and e-money businesses looking at expansion into the EEA and further. Talks, wine and networking from 16:00. Why go: post-Brexit EEA licensing is the specific, unglamorous problem blocking a lot of UK payments companies, and this is a room built around that one question rather than fintech in general. Best for payments and e-money founders and their compliance leads. Go for the people who have already done the licence, not the talks.

Progress in the face of pushback Around the world, the leaders driving the most ambitious climate action are increasingly finding themselves at the centre of political polarisation, misinformation campaigns, and public backlash.

with Tara Ojo Agyemang (Developer Relations Engineer, Google Chrome) · Nick Ferrell (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Focused)

Two talks on getting AI agents to work on the real web and in real production systems, hosted at AutogenAI's Pentonville Road office. Tara Ojo Agyemang, a Developer Relations Engineer on Google's Chrome team, opens with WebMCP. Most agents drive websites today by reading screenshots and guessing at the DOM, which breaks the moment a button moves and leaves site owners no say in how agents use their product; she covers what WebMCP proposes instead. Nick Ferrell, Senior Lead Software Engineer at Focused, follows with the last ten per cent, the evals, observability and cost work that turns an agent demo into something that runs reliably. Free. Doors 18:00, talks from 19:00. Why go: a rare London room where the Chrome platform side and the people shipping agents are in the same conversation. Best for engineers and product people who have an agent demo working and need it to survive contact with users.

Get ready to mingle with the brains behind the next big thing in tech and innovation, a networking event you don't want to miss!

BCSWomen marks 25 years of supporting women across every stage of a technology career, at BCS on Copthall Avenue. The evening includes the group's annual AGM. Why go: a quarter-century makes BCSWomen one of the oldest continuous networks of its kind in UK tech, and an anniversary brings back people who have been in the industry for all of it - which is a different and more useful room than the usual early-career mixer. Best for women in technology at any stage, and for anyone interested in how the profession has actually shifted since 2001.

We Empower Locally & Connect Globally - By Mirela Sula, Founder & CEO Global Woman.

A practical cyber-resilience session at Kingston Guildhall, delivered by the Cyber Resilience Centre and hosted by Kingston Council, for SMEs, charities and public sector organisations. Why go: the Cyber Resilience Centres are police-linked and not-for-profit, so this is one of the few places small organisations get security advice with nothing being sold at the end of it. Best for small-business owners and the person who ended up responsible for IT without choosing to be.

Sustainable Finance Live Hackathon — hosted by Data Science London in London.

Join global experts to explore the health impacts of climate change and launch the 10th Lancet Countdown report.

A Geovation Hub session on how government procurement actually works - the point being that government is one of the largest customers in the world and most startups misread how its buying decisions get made. Why go: public-sector sales fails for procedural reasons far more often than product ones, and Geovation (backed by Ordnance Survey and HM Land Registry) has unusually direct sight of how the process runs. An hour here is worth more than a year of guessing at frameworks. Best for founders selling, or planning to sell, into the public sector.

A half-day outdoor masterclass in the City of London, using walking, practical tools and discussion to explore how urban form shapes climate.

A practical three-hour workshop that uses StoryBrand to help you align the six essential parts of your business around your ideal customer.

A short Geovation Hub workshop on using AI to make LinkedIn a consistent visibility channel rather than something you remember occasionally. Runs straight after the procurement session on the same afternoon. Why go: founder visibility does real commercial work at seed stage and most technical founders treat it as a chore, so an hour of mechanics beats another post about posting. Best for early-stage founders doing their own marketing - and worth pairing with the government-procurement session earlier the same day if you are selling to the public sector.

About this workshop: Ready to step into the exciting world of software development? Join our online workshop and get a sneak peek into the life of a software developer. Whether you're curious about the basics of web development, or interested in our software development apprenticeships, this session is crafted just for you!

Can Art Drive Environmental Action in Southeast Asia? Taking place at London School of Economics and Political Science.

A deliberately small speed-networking hour for geotech and proptech founders, hosted by Geovation at its Goswell Road hub, with an Ordnance Survey data Q&A attached. The format is structured rather than a free-for-all: short rotating conversations between founders working on location data, mapping and property technology, then open questions to the OS team about what data is available and how to use it. One hour, 15:00 to 16:00, free, places capped. Why go: the OS Q&A is the real draw — getting a straight answer about licensing and coverage from the people who hold the data usually takes weeks of email. Best for early-stage founders whose product depends on UK location data.

The ‘Truth in 10’ is a talk developed by Al Gore as part of his global education programme on climate change.

“Let's put on our classics and we'll have a little dance, shall we?”: Progress through Archaeology and Engineering

with Kimoon Kim (Customer Engineer, AI/ML Startups, Google Cloud) · Frankie Woodhead (CPTO, Thrive) · Evie Brockwell (Product Operations & Experimentation, New Look)

Product London's evening at Google's St Giles office, hosted by Google Cloud: three talks for product people. Kimoon Kim, Customer Engineer for AI/ML startups at Google Cloud and a two-time founder and CTO, gives a live demo of Gemini Enterprise and makes the case for moving product strategy off scattered tools onto one agent-driven platform. Frankie Woodhead, CPTO at Thrive, on building an AI-native learning and enablement platform serving over 10 million users across 70-plus countries. Evie Brockwell, Product Operations and Experimentation at New Look and a product leadership coach, on the shift from stressed to strategic as a product leader - confidence, presence and clarity rather than frameworks. Venue 1-13 St Giles High St, WC2H 8AG. RSVP on Meetup. Why go: Frankie Woodhead's talk is the one to turn up for - a platform at that scale that has genuinely gone AI-native is rare, and the numbers make it concrete. The Google Cloud demo is a vendor slot; take it as such. Best for product managers and product leaders at scale-ups.

Join us at UCL in person to explore how AI is transforming the education landscape in 2026

Connect with top pros and explore fresh trade and investment opportunities to boost your business game.

A paid-entry evening party for the London startup scene at Big Chill King's Cross, run by Startup Network Europe. No speakers and no programme: it is several hundred founders, operators, investors and people hiring in one bar, with a ticket price (GBP 12) that keeps it to people who meant to come. Doors 18:00. Tickets are on Eventbrite and these editions usually sell out in the final week. Why go: it is the highest-volume evening of the month for cold introductions, and the sort of room where a hire or a first customer conversation starts. Best for early founders and anyone new to the London ecosystem who wants breadth rather than depth; skip it if you want a talk or a technical conversation.

Chess night for London founders, operators and investors. Casual games across the evening with conversation between rounds — a quieter alternative to a standard startup drinks event.

A conversation with purpose-driven founders exploring how they're turning environmental and social challenges into viable businesses.

with Will Dufton (Partner, Giant Ventures) · Stephen Wilks (Co-founder and CEO, Novabook)

Novabook, an accountancy firm for startups, hosts a fireside chat with Will Dufton, Partner at Giant Ventures, on what changes when a company moves from early stage to growth. Dufton has invested at Atomico, OMERS Ventures and now Giant, backing companies from first cheque through Series B and beyond. The session covers the milestones growth investors weigh, where promising companies stall after Series B, how the fundraising conversation changes as rounds get bigger, and what founders should have in place before they need the money. Stephen Wilks, Novabook's co-founder and CEO, hosts. Drinks from 18:00, fireside at 19:10, networking from 20:00. Free, approval-gated by role (founder, investor, ecosystem), numbers deliberately small. Exact address shared on registration. Why go: one speaker who has written cheques at three funds, answering what a growth round will actually demand. Best for pre-Series A and Series A founders, and the angels who back them.

Business networking event in central london. Connect w/ tech entrepreneurs, startup founders, finance professionals, B2B pros and investors.

A working session for SaaS revenue and operations teams on building churn early-warning signals into the RevOps stack: which data to instrument, how to score risk, and what to actually do when the alert fires. At HubHub Worship Square, evening. Why go: most churn content stops at 'look at your usage data'; the useful part is the scoring and the intervention, which is what this session is built around. Best for RevOps, customer success and growth people at B2B SaaS companies past the point where churn is anecdotal.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO BOOK YOUR TICKET ON EVENTBRITE TO ATTEND THE EVENT. YOU CAN RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE:** [ **The London Network Presents: Exclusive Weekly Business Networking Event** Are you a business owner, entrepreneur, or tech professional looking to make valuable connections? Join **The London Network**'s recurring networking event, designed for leaders and innovators across industries.

The October gathering of DevSecOps London at 123 Pentonville Road: talks on securing delivery pipelines and cloud platforms, aimed squarely at security and platform engineers. Why go: DSOLG has stayed practitioner-run and the talks are about pipelines people actually operate, which keeps it clear of the vendor-conference version of the same subject. Best for platform, SRE and application-security engineers, particularly anyone trying to put security into a delivery process without stopping it.

with Hammed Ajibade (Lead Software Engineer, Pulse) · Gerald Crescione (Lead, AI Security Engineers Community, Snyk)

An evening on controlling AI agents that can call tools, investigate systems and take real actions, hosted at Snyk's Euston office. Hammed Ajibade, Lead Software Engineer at Pulse, asks how you actually revoke an AI agent: splitting read, recommend and execute permissions, where to put the human approval points, scoped credentials you can withdraw, and keeping an evidence trail across agent workflows. Gerald Crescione, who leads the AI Security Engineers Community at Snyk, makes the case for the role itself, combining software, security and AI engineering, and how to find and train people into it. Free, food and drink provided. Doors 18:00, talks 18:30, social from 19:30, ends 20:30. Why go: this is the operational end of agent security rather than the policy end. Best for platform and security engineers who already have agents touching production systems.

with Claire Donald (Panellist, MOO) · Charlotte Bullock (Panellist, Bank of London) · Sally Foote (Panellist, Ecosurety) + 3 more

A morning conference for around 80 product leaders, CPOs, directors, heads and VPs of product, on the theme Product Leadership in the AI Era. The format is a panel, two rounds of roundtables, a closing presentation and networking over lunch, finishing at 13:00. Panellists are Claire Donald (MOO), Charlotte Bullock (Bank of London), Sally Foote (Ecosurety) and Gabriel Grigorescu (The Stepstone Group). Roundtables are led by David Ingram (Rezolve AI), Bethan Ashley (thoughtbot), Patricia de Loro Le Discot (Cera) and others. Run by Product Network Europe, hosted by The Stepstone Group and sponsored by thoughtbot. The early-bird tiers have sold out and the standard tier is approval-gated with about 20 places left. Why go: the roundtable format means you talk rather than listen, and the room is senior enough that the AI conversation is about org design and delivery rather than demos. Best for product leaders running teams of ten or more.

A Practical Breakfast Event for Finance Leaders – Our Starting with AI in Finance Using Claude Series

A lively panel on how PR can fuel growth, build credibility and put your business and leaders in front of the audiences that matter.

with Geraldine Ridgeway (Speaker, MG OMD) · Shane Buckley (Speaker, Uber Advertising UKI)

The October edition of IAB UK's Last Thursday Club, at the Kodak Building, on what the trade body calls the now economy — discovery, consideration and conversion collapsing into a single moment inside the platforms and retailers people use every day. The panel argues a specific question rather than surveying the field: does retail media create new demand, or does it simply capture decisions consumers had already made? Access is restricted to IAB members, agencies and advertisers. Why go: retail media is the fastest-growing ad channel in the UK and the demand-creation-versus-harvesting question is the one that decides how much of a budget it deserves. A panel willing to take a side on it is more useful than another market-sizing deck. Best for performance marketers, commerce leads and anyone with a retail-media line in their plan.

with Anurag Jain (Founder, Digital Back Office) · Richard Simon (CTO, T-Systems International (Deutsche Telekom))

The first session of Founders & AI, a new series for early-stage founders building with AI without burning runway. The format is a fireside chat between Anurag Jain, founder of Digital Back Office and Dataflow, and Richard Simon, CTO for cloud professional services at T-Systems International, part of Deutsche Telekom. The subject is the build-versus-buy decision: which AI capabilities to assemble from models, APIs and off-the-shelf tools, which to build, and which to leave alone, along with what it costs to run AI in production and when managed services win. Registration, food and drinks from 17:30, the chat at 18:30, open Q&A, then founder networking until 20:00. Free, approval-gated, and seats are capped to keep the room small. Why go: a practical evening on spend and sequencing for founders making their first real AI infrastructure decisions, with a large-enterprise CTO in the room to argue the other side.

Imperial College's late-opening showcase of its robotics research: meet the robots, see what the labs are working on and talk to the researchers behind it. 18:00 to 21:00. Three practical things the organisers want known in advance. Imperial Lates are for an 18+ audience; registration gets you into the building but does not reserve a seat at any individual talk or workshop, which are first-come, first-served; and entry is via the College Main Entrance on Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ. All spaces, the entrance and the toilets are wheelchair accessible, with lifts to the upper levels. Why go: direct access to working researchers and their hardware, free, with no sales layer in between — the opposite of a robotics trade show. Best for engineers, investors looking at deep tech, and anyone who wants to see what is actually on the bench rather than in a launch video.

Exploring one of the most important drivers of growth, competitiveness and long-term success: Innovation.

Conf42's prompt engineering track: more than twenty talks on getting reliable output out of large language models in production, delivered online across an afternoon and evening. The programme covers prompt design, context engineering at scale, evaluation and testing, structured outputs, retrieval-augmented generation, tool use and agents. Conf42 is presented by Mark Pawlikowski and Mikolaj Pawlikowski, hosted with Aleksandra Los, Anna Andriushchenko, Magdalena Marcinkiewicz and Petras Bazdaras. Talks run on Google Meet and go live on YouTube the same day, with a chat alongside for questions. Free, online only, registration required. The organiser advertises the event as 18:00 to 22:00 CET on 29 October. Why go: the evaluation and context-management sessions are the part most teams skip, and this is a cheap way to hear how other people test prompts before they ship them. Best for engineers already running LLM features in production.

A practical session for women working out what AI can take off their plate, and how to build your first automation.

with Prachi Gupta (Senior Specialist Solutions Architect, Data and AI, AWS) · Raymond Afuye (Data Engineer, Smarterise Integrated Services)

The eighth meetup of the AWS London Well-Architected User Group, working through the pillars of the Well-Architected Framework with people who specialise in it. Confirmed so far: Prachi Gupta, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect for Data and AI at AWS, on moving from a data lake to AI-ready analytics with S3 Tables in Amazon Quick; and Raymond Afuye, Data Engineer at Smarterise Integrated Services, on maximising efficiency on AWS through right-configuration. More speakers are being added through the month. Doors 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start, with drinks, snacks and networking afterwards. Free, RSVP through Meetup. Why go: the most active AWS user group in London, and the talks stay on architecture practice rather than product launches. Best for engineers and architects running real workloads on AWS.

Hi Architects, Welcome to our the 8th AWS London Well-Architected User Group Meetup!!! Dragon Hall Trust, 17 Stukeley Street, London WC2B 5LT The AWS London Well-Architected Meetup is the latest chapter in the most popular AWS Meetup group globally.

Celebrate 2 years of Queer Global with a preview of our Oral Histories Documentary & launch of the Queer Global Digital Archive!

The second London edition of the Omni AI Analytics Meetup, at Arcadia Games, built around people who work hands-on with data, analytics and AI rather than people who present about it. The billing is real stories of putting modern tooling into practice: how practitioners build data products, what broke, and what it meant for the business on the other side. Evening format with time to talk afterwards. Why go: still early enough in its run that the room is small and the conversations are direct, and the practitioner framing keeps it away from the platform-demo circuit. Best for analytics engineers, data scientists and anyone building data products inside a company rather than selling tooling to one.

The ultimate networking night in central London. Connect with entrepreneurs, investors, creatives, and industry leaders driving change.

Informal evening mixer for people who work in and around technology, at Society Building in Fitzrovia. Light-touch format, no talks.

UK Entrepreneurs - Founders & Business Networking Night Hosted by UK Entrepreneurs - London Networking.

Professor Luis Garicano at the LSE School of Public Policy on Messy Jobs, which he co-authored, and what AI is doing to work, careers and the wider economy. Why go: Garicano brings an economist's read rather than a technologist's, and the LSE public-policy framing pushes the conversation towards labour markets and policy rather than tooling. He is also speaking at London Business School on 22 October; this is the policy-weighted version of the same material, so choose by which angle you want. Best for policy people, and anyone planning headcount against an AI roadmap.

Get Creative at the Calavera Skull Painting and Decorating Workshop! Perfect family half term fun.

A free, informal morning meet-up at Patch Twickenham for women building, exploring or returning to entrepreneurship in ways that fit around the rest of life. Why go: it is deliberately low-stakes and it is in Twickenham, which matters - the founder community in outer London is real and badly served by a circuit that assumes you can get to Shoreditch for 6pm. Best for women at the earliest stage, including people still deciding whether there is a business in the idea.

A workshop in the River Room on the Strand, run by the Methods Centre, on how AI is reshaping and challenging social science research across both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Why go: the methods question - what it means for validity when a model does the coding, the summarising or the sampling - is being worked out right now, and a methods-centre workshop is where that gets argued properly rather than assumed away. Best for researchers, data scientists working with human data, and anyone building research tooling.

Tenth episode of The DevOps World Meetup: online talks on CI/CD, platform and SRE practice from a globally distributed speaker line-up.

A co-founder matching evening from Tech Launchpads at the Middle Eight Hotel in Covent Garden, explicitly open to technical and non-technical people, academics included, and to people who do not yet have an idea. Why go: the no-idea-required framing is the useful part - most matching events quietly assume you arrive with a pitch, which filters out exactly the technical people everyone is looking for. Best for anyone who wants to start something and needs the other half of the team first.

Calling all entrepreneurs! Join us for an amazing social mixer networking event in London.

Kick-start your surgical career with Cleveland Clinic London.

KCL Tech's flagship annual event, billed as the UK's largest student-led technology conference and careers fair. A full day of talks, panels, workshops and networking that brings students and early-career talent together with founders, engineers and the companies hiring them. The audience is wider than King's: it is one of the few London days where graduate hiring teams, student builders and working engineers are in the same building, and the careers-fair half means the companies present are there to recruit rather than to market. Runs 09:30 to 17:30. Exact venue is shared on registration. Why go: if you are hiring junior engineers in London, this is the cheapest day of the year to meet several hundred of them at once; if you are early in your career, the people on the stands can actually make an offer. Best for students, graduate hirers and anyone building an early-career pipeline.

This two day 'hands on' workshop will explore a variety of effective construction techniques.

Solana's Hacker House returns to London for a thirteen-day edition in the run-up to Breakpoint 2026: a working space rather than a conference, open daily from 10:00 to 20:00, with workshops and deep dives across DeFi, security, infrastructure and applications. On site there are dedicated build zones, power and WiFi, food and lounges, plus hands-on guidance from Solana Foundation DevRel, Superteam UK and ecosystem experts. Attendance is approval-only and space is limited; the registration desk is open 10:00 to 17:00 each day and the address goes to approved guests. Sessions can be proposed through the organiser's form. Why go: thirteen consecutive days with core protocol people in the building is a different proposition from an evening meetup, and teams reliably form here. Best for developers shipping on Solana and for founders who want concentrated time with the ecosystem before Breakpoint.
