London — Week of 9 Nov 2026

The Association of British HealthTech Industries runs its flagship two-day conference across regulation and market access. Day one (9 Nov) is MHRA-heavy: Lawrence Tallon keynotes on the UK's regulatory offer, and panels cover recognition and reliance, the AI Commission outputs (with Prof Alastair Denniston of Birmingham), digitalisation and post-market surveillance. Day two turns to NHS adoption - Will Warburton of NHS England, the Department of Health and Social Care, NICE's Prof Jonathan Benger, and investors including Apposite Capital on what gets a device bought and deployed. It's a senior room: 200-plus delegates a day from industry, the NHS, government and regulation, at the Cavendish Conference Centre. Paid, with multi-buy discounts for five or more. Attendee names and organisations are shared with delegates beforehand unless you opt out. Why go: if you're building healthtech and need to navigate MHRA, NICE and NHS procurement, this puts the people who run those pathways in one room. Less useful if you're pre-regulatory or consumer-facing.

The monthly London meetup for people building on the Authenticated Transfer Protocol — the open standard for decentralised publishing that underpins Bluesky but is increasingly being used for things that are not a social network at all. This edition has "Introducing Bluemoji" from @aendra.com on moji.blue, with one or two further talks still open to anyone who wants a slot. Organised by @aendra.com, @davenash.com and @alice.mosphere.at in Newspeak Hall, 19:00 to 22:30. Free. Why go: a genuinely technical room on an open protocol that is still early enough that the people in it are shaping it. Best for developers curious about decentralised identity and data, and anyone who has wondered what else atproto can carry.

Evening networking for pharma and life-sciences startups, investors and industry professionals at the Blue Fin Building in Southwark.

The MarTech Summit's two-day London edition for senior marketing, CX, data and digital leaders — the organisers put 85% of the 600-odd attendees at director level or above. Day one runs a single plenary stage on where marketing technology is heading; day two splits into parallel B2C and B2B tracks. Across three stages there are 38-plus sessions: case studies, panels, fireside chats and Q&As, plus a pre-event evening meetup and a floor of martech vendors. It's at Convene 155 Bishopsgate by Liverpool Street, 08:30 to 17:30 both days. Paid, with a limited run of complimentary passes for qualifying brand-side and end-user marketers, subject to approval. Why go: it's the biggest martech-specific gathering in London this autumn, and the ticket mix keeps the room mostly buyers and senior practitioners rather than agencies selling. Best for in-house marketing and CX leaders choosing or running a martech stack.

A joint techUK semiconductor, scale-up and photonics session on getting growth-stage capital into UK chip companies. Arrivals 09:30, programme 10:00 to 11:50, networking lunch from 12:00. Two sessions: Funding the idea, on accessing semiconductor finance, and Beyond the cheque, on partnerships, commercialisation, exports and R&D. Speakers are Peter Stephens, Government Partnerships at Arm; Samuel Taylor, Senior Innovation Advisory Partner at ForrestBrown; and Thomas Mahon, Patent Attorney at Page White Farrer. Free, but booking is members-only. The venue comes with registration. Why go: semiconductor capital is the narrowest funding pipe in UK tech, and this is the rare session that puts R&D credits and patent strategy next to the equity question instead of treating them as someone else's problem. Best for hardware and photonics founders past prototype, and the advisers around them.

The Knowledge Quarter's annual flagship conference bringing universities, research institutes, cultural institutions and technology companies in the King's Cross district together. Paid ticket; student and community rates available.

Join our on-campus Open Day to see what life is like at the RCA and meet staff and students.

Ukie's second annual funding day for UK games companies, aimed at studios and founders working out how to finance a games business in 2026. Three tracks: securing investment and funding partnerships, building for sustainable growth, and new revenue streams and market opportunities. Confirmed speakers include Colin Macdonald (UK Games Fund), Chris Filip (BFI), Andy Stewart (Sumo Digital), James Andrews (Inngot) and Anna Poulter-Jones (Sheridans), with pitching and one-to-one investor sessions alongside the programme. Glaziers Hall by London Bridge, 09:30 to 17:30, in person. PocketGamer.biz is media partner. Why go: games funding has its own investors, funds and mechanics, and this is the one London day that puts them in a room with studio founders. Best for games studios raising money or chasing non-equity funding, and investors who back interactive entertainment.

An afternoon conference marking the launch of techUK's report Satellite Data for Sustainable Growth, 13:30 to 17:30 in London, closing with a networking reception. Matthew Evans, techUK's COO, opens and Charlie Candy, Chief Revenue Officer and UK Managing Director at Planet, gives the keynote. The connectivity and market-access panel brings in Simon Rose of Airbus Defence and Space, Elizabeth Quintana from Ofcom, Rui Zuo of Eutelsat and Iuri Struta of S&P Global. The second panel, on space data and AI, has Serah Lister from the Government Commercial Authority, Dr Jonathan Lancelot of UWE Bristol and Andy Norris of SAC, followed by an SME and start-up showcase with DCat and CATALYST Earth. Free and open to non-members. Venue details come with registration. Why go: the UK space-data sector is small enough that this is most of it in one afternoon, and the operator-plus-regulator mix on the panels is unusual. Best for earth-observation and connectivity founders, and investors looking at the sector.

Meet the Investors: Edinburgh Hosted by techUK.

A two-hour afternoon session on building a board, run jointly by the London NatWest Accelerator and NEDonBoard, the professional body for non-executive directors. It's pitched at founders and CEOs from pre-seed to scale-up putting together a board or advisory group, or getting governance in shape before a raise. The format is interactive rather than talks: time with experienced NEDs and ecosystem people on what a board is actually for and how to find the right members. At NatWest's hub, 94 Moorgate, 14:00 to 16:00, in person. Free, but the Eventbrite tiers were showing sold out or not-yet-released at last check — watch for returns or a second release. Why go: most founders assemble a board under investor pressure and regret the choices. This is a cheap way to think it through first, with NEDs in the room and NatWest's accelerator team hosting. Best for scale-up founders heading into a round.

Evening on AI, cybersecurity, digital identity and governance, and how trust holds up in an AI-powered world. Free.

Women in Telecoms & Technology (WiTT) runs its annual panel with women who've built tech companies, hosted at law firm Michelmores by Liverpool Street. The evening is a moderated conversation about what it actually took to start and scale — the useful, unglamorous version — followed by networking. Panellists aren't published yet. 100 Liverpool Street, EC2M 2AT, 18:00 to 20:30, in person. Why go: WiTT's network is senior, and the annual entrepreneurs' session is one of its better-attended evenings, so the room is women operators and founders in tech and telecoms rather than a general mixer. Best for women building or thinking about building a tech business who want candid stories and a strong network in one evening.

He's now a design partner at True Ventures and runs the Design Futures Assembly, which brings design leaders together on working with AI. 6pm to 8:30pm, free. The address is shared on registration.

with Erim Şişman (Co-founder and CCO, Vitpepper Studios) · Korhan Erçin (Head of Business Development, each::labs)

each::labs and Vitpepper Studios host an evening for people building with generative AI. Vitpepper makes films and series with AI; each::labs helps builders take image, video and audio ideas from first prompt to production. Doors and wine from 6pm, talks from 7pm. Erim Sisman, co-founder and CCO of Vitpepper Studios, on making films with AI. Korhan Ercin, head of business development at each::labs, on what is actually working in generative AI now, with numbers. Then a live demo, a first look at something new on the big screen, and networking until 9pm. Free, at The Marquis Cornwallis in Bloomsbury. Registration is approval-gated on Luma, so register early. Why go: it is a builders' room, not a panel about AI in the abstract. Best for people shipping generative image, video and audio - studios, agencies, app makers and game studios.

London Cybersecurity Net: Monthly Networking for Experts, Firms, Startups, & Enthusiasts to Tackle Challenges and Forge Ahead in InfoSec.

A monthly London meetup for people trying to use AI at work without drowning in hype — billed as 'real AI, real people, real beer.' This is episode five of the series. The format is deliberately low-key: practical talk about what AI actually does in a business, over a pint, aimed at the AI-curious rather than ML engineers. At The Albany on Great Portland Street, from 18:00. Free, booked through Meetup. Why go: a lot of AI events are either vendor pitches or deep technical talks; this sits in the gap, for operators and business people who want plain answers. Best if you're working out where AI fits in your job and would rather talk it through than sit through slides.

Connect those deploying AI with those governing it to explore how AI risk, policy, privacy, and practice meet in real organizations.

Join us for an evening of good technical conversations at the in-person AJE Roundtable event!

FStech's CyberSecurity Live is a one-day conference at the Hilton London Tower Bridge on Wednesday 11 November, 8:30 to 17:00. It's pitched at senior security, risk and technology leaders in financial services and insurance: CISOs, CROs, CIOs, CTOs and their teams. The programme covers cyber risk governance, AI as both threat and control, nation-state activity, risk quantification and board reporting, ransomware and extortion, and third-party risk. Expect keynotes, panels, case studies and vendor demos. The organiser, Perspective Publishing, hasn't named individual speakers yet. Free for professionals in the sector. Why go: a useful day if you sell to or run security at a bank or insurer, and one of the few London rooms where the audience is almost all budget holders. Check the agenda for speakers before you commit, as none are published yet.

Join us for this annual flagship event championing women's advancement, success, and collaboration.

Two days at the Barbican for people who lead design teams rather than people who want another craft workshop. Registration from 09:00 on 11 November, with day two opening at 10:00; both days end with a long social slot from 17:00. Optional workshops run on 13 November, 09:30 to 12:30. The programme is built around design leadership itself — organisational structure, influence, and running teams — with Rebecca Groves hosting and talks from Liz Danzico, Dan Makoski, Kevin Bethune, Michelle Lee, Rich Rutter, Marla Mitelman and Kwame Nyanning, plus lunchtime conversation sessions with Morgane Peng, Chris How, Ben Sheppard and Aleks Melnikova. Paid; prices are on the ticket page rather than the programme page. Why go: one of the few UK conferences aimed squarely at design directors and heads of design, and the two-hour evening slots are where the actual peer conversations happen. Best for design leaders and anyone about to become one.

Event Tech Live is a trade show dedicated to event technology, now in its 12th year. It gathers more than 3,000 event professionals from brands, agencies, associations and exhibition organisers to meet the companies building the platforms and tools used to run events, with four stages of practical sessions alongside the show floor.

Numiko's Great Digital for Good is a one-day conference at Woburn House, Tavistock Square, on Wednesday 11 November, 9:30 to 17:00, with drinks in a pub afterwards.

Speakers include Bethany Brown (NSPCC), Lawrence Chiles (National Gallery), Alison Bean (British Museum), James Dodd (Royal Holloway), Melanie Read (Valtech) and Numiko's David Eccles. Sessions run from a talk on the digital trust crisis to workshops on AI's hidden workloads and keeping the human touch, plus an unconference slot chosen by a live poll. Tickets are £290. Why go: practitioners from named institutions comparing what AI has really changed in their teams, not a vendor pitch. Best for digital leads in the third sector and public-facing organisations.

with Prajit Sengupta (, Sapiaverse)

The final Ship & Show of Forma Residency. For five weeks, 16 founders lived and built together in Bristol, standing up each Friday to share what they shipped and what they learned. This is the first time it's open to the public. Welcome and networking from 3:45pm, the Ship & Show from 4:30pm to 6pm, then an afterparty until 8pm. The venue is a club in Farringdon, with the exact address given on registration. Founders on the bill include Prajit Sengupta, building a population simulation at Sapiaverse. Free. Why go: demos of what 16 full-time builders produced in five weeks, and the organisers say it isn't a demo day. Best for early-stage founders and pre-seed investors. You only get the address after registering.

with Shradha Janib (Speaker, ) · David Hughes (Speaker, Stelia) · Freeman Madudili (Lightning talk, ) + 1 more

Shradha Janib on traffic sign recognition with deep learning, David Hughes of Stelia on running ML workloads in production, then lightning talks from Freeman Madudili on deterministic boundaries around AI actions and Ozan Dagdeviren on measuring AI skill. Doors 18:00, welcome 18:30, social at The Angel afterwards. Free and in person, with a YouTube stream as a fallback. Registration closes 24 hours before and places are limited, so the waitlist is live. Register under the name on your ID or bank card: the host may require an attendee list, and a mismatch can cost you entry. No entry before 18:00. Why go: production ML discussed by people who have run it rather than demoed it, in a series that has held its format for 36 editions. Best for ML engineers and data scientists after implementation detail, not strategy.

with Elston Baretto (, Tiiny Host) · Charlie Ward (, Ramen Space)

Ramen Space in Dalston and Tiiny Host run an evening of founder stories and a live AI competition. It opens with a fireside with Elston Baretto on bootstrapping Tiiny Host to $1m ARR, finding customers and what he'd do differently today. Then One Shot: four to eight volunteers get the same challenge, laptop, AI tool and model, and two minutes to write a single prompt, with no retries. Results are revealed live and published with Tiiny Host; Charlie Ward and Elston judge. First prize is £500 plus a year of Tiiny Host Max and a Ramen Space membership. 6pm to 9pm, free. Competing is optional and places are confirmed separately. Why go: real revenue lessons first, then watching strangers get judged on one prompt. Best for indie founders and AI tinkerers.

Expert insight. Live business audit. Curated ecosystem access. One evening to transform how you build your business. Are you ready?

with Seth Webster (, React Foundation) · Sarah Drasner (, Chrome) · Riccardo Cipolleschi (, Meta) + 4 more

The React Foundation's London meetup for React and React Native developers, hosted at Meta's King's Cross office.

with Dima Zborovskiy (ML Director, Deliveroo/DoorDash) · Sylvain Viguier (Director of AI, Graphcore)

The thirteenth edition of In The Loop, London's monthly agentic AI meet-up, held this month in Deliveroo's London office.

Sylvain Viguier, Director of AI at Graphcore, has a talk still to be confirmed. Doors 18:00, talks from 18:30, wrap-up at 20:00, and networking carries on at the venue or a nearby pub. The series is run by Xcede and Rod Rivera and has previously been hosted by V7 Labs, Doubleword, Artanis, Zopa and Zilch. Free and no approval needed, with 101 places still open when we checked. The organiser does not publish the street address; it comes with your registration. Why go: a monthly room where the speakers are running agents in production rather than demoing them, and thirteen editions in it still draws practitioners rather than spectators. Best for ML and platform engineers and product people building agentic systems.

Monthly demo night from CityVentures at the Drysdale Building in Northampton Square. Four startups get five minutes each to show what they've built, with live feedback from the room. A fireside chat with IdeasUK follows. They're the team behind the UK StartUp Awards and Ideas Fest, a community reaching 100,000+ entrepreneurs a year. Free drinks and snacks, 6pm to 8:30pm. Last month set the series' registration record, according to the organiser, so expect a full room. Why go: short live demos from early startups, then a founder crowd to talk to over a drink. Best for early-stage founders and angels who want to see new products before they're announced.

with Kevlin Henney (Independent consultant, speaker and writer, )

Kevlin Henney presents two of Barbara Liskov's foundational papers, Programming with Abstract Data Types (1974) and Abstraction Mechanism in CLU (1977): where data abstraction came from, the context it emerged in, and how it shaped object-oriented and functional language design since. Papers We Love London reading-group format, hosted at Monzo near Liverpool Street. 18:30 to 20:00, free, RSVP on Meetup. Why go: a rare chance to hear one of the best software speakers in the UK take apart the ideas most of us use daily without knowing where they came from. Best for engineers who like their computing history first-hand.

techUK's flagship health and social care dinner: informal networking, dinner and keynote speeches, 18:30 to 23:00 in central London. Business attire. Two confirmed keynotes carry it. Dr Penny Dash, Chair of NHS England, and Rob Thomson, Chief Digital Information Officer at the Department of Health and Social Care. The room is health-tech businesses wanting visibility with NHS and departmental stakeholders, plus members of techUK's Health and Social Care Programme. Sponsored by Cognizant. Paid, and not cheap: individual member GBP 320 plus VAT, SME member GBP 260, non-member GBP 620, tables of ten from GBP 1,720. The exact central London venue comes with registration. Why go: the chair of NHS England and the DHSC's CDIO at the same dinner is as close as health tech gets to hearing the buying side say what it wants. Best for commercial leads at health-tech companies, and worth it for the table conversations rather than the speeches.

Sentio Series talk and Q&A on whether AI models' internal emotional states influence their behaviour. Address shared on registration. Free.

A morning session at the Barclays Innovation Hub in Shoreditch, run with Innovate Finance, bringing together fintech founders, investors and people inside the incumbents. Breakfast format, 08:30 to 11:00, with the usual mix of short content and a long networking window. Innovate Finance is the UK industry body, so the room tends to pull in policy and regulatory people alongside the operators. Free, registration on Eventbrite. Why go: the Barclays Rise building is where a lot of UK fintech deal conversation starts, and a free breakfast with Innovate Finance in the room is a cheap way into it. Best for early-stage fintech founders and anyone selling into banks.

Day conference on psychometric assessment design and validation, for occupational psychologists and assessment publishers.

Free 12 November 2026 From Cloud First to UK Sovereign by Design- Reimagining Public Sector Digital Resilience Roundtable Central London

with Deb Ashton (Founder & SVP, Strategic Customer Experience, Certinia)

An independent Salesforce-ecosystem conference run by Salesforce Ben at Protein Studios in Shoreditch — deliberately not a Salesforce-run event, and pitched against the sales-led official ones. Registration 08:00, programme 09:00 to 18:00. Full-day format: keynote plus breakouts, optional pre-registered workshops, customer case studies and structured networking through an event app, with around 500 attendees expected. Content is weighted to AI, data, integrations and platform strategy, with an admin track. Deb Ashton, Founder and SVP of Strategic Customer Experience at Certinia, is confirmed; the full agenda lands closer to the date. Paid; priority early bird has sold out and the published early-bird figure is 375 with no currency printed. Why go: an honest read on the Salesforce platform from people who do not work for Salesforce. Best for senior admins, developers, architects and Salesforce technology leaders.

An event for people who want to get more value from existing Assessments and build better Psychometric Assessments

One-day summit at King's College London on how AI agents are changing research: literature review, hypothesis generation, experimental design, data analysis and lab workflows. Sessions span engineering, physics, chemistry, biomedical and health research, with time on trust, safety, governance and keeping humans in the loop. It runs 09:00 to 17:30 at the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering, 100 Lambeth Palace Road. Free, first come first served, and the organisers overbook, so arrive early. The programme was due mid-October and no speakers are listed yet. Why go: a rare academic room where people are testing agents on real research workflows, not demos. Best for AI engineers, research-tool founders and health-tech teams who want to meet King's researchers.

The address goes to approved guests. Teams that want to present can apply through the Solana Foundation form, with priority for teams not already on the Breakpoint or Scale or Die bills. Why go: the quickest way to see what Solana teams have shipped, with investors in the room. Best for Solana builders and crypto investors who are already in that world.

Scrolling Through Science: Tackling Nutrition Misinformation

with Victoria Rusnac (Founder & AI Coach, Applied AI Academy) · Jamie Faulkner (Managing Director, SEO, Brainlabs) · Lisa Vecchio (Senior Director of Marketing, Business Banking, Monzo) + 3 more

A three-hour build session for in-house marketing teams that want a working content agent rather than another demo. Teams of three from the same company build on the night, with coaches on the floor instead of a lecture. Applied AI Academy runs it with Brainlabs. Victoria Rusnac, its founder, and Jamie Faulkner, Managing Director for SEO at Brainlabs, open the evening. The coaches are Lisa Vecchio, Senior Director of Marketing for Business Banking at Monzo, and fractional marketing leaders Rob Marcus, Judith van Dijk and Maya Moufarek. 18:00 to 21:00 at the Brainlabs office on Old Street, dinner included. Free, but application only and not open to individuals: one person applies for a team of three colleagues, one application per company, applications close 30 October and places are confirmed by 4 November. Teams are expected to use AI daily already and to bring their own tool access, since no licences are provided on the day. Why go: the coaches have shipped this inside real marketing teams, and three hours building with your own colleagues gets further than a conference talk about agents. Best for in-house or agency marketing teams past the simple-assistant stage.

Best for fintech founders who want gossip and introductions more than a keynote.

with Hugh Evans (Senior Developer, Aiven)

AICamp's London AI developer meetup: check-in and networking from 18:00, tech talks and Q&A 18:45 to 20:30, then a mixer. Hugh Evans, senior developer at Aiven, is the one confirmed speaker so far. Registration on the AICamp site is required; Meetup RSVP is switched off.

This lecture asks how we should think about reliance on AI when that reliance may itself shape the development of epistemic capacities.

A monthly networking evening for the London Women on the Rise group, with a space reserved for the group at Grill 88, 44 Grosvenor Square. November's topic is top AI hacks for productivity. Free, 18:30 to 20:30, sign-up through the group's Meetup page.

with Greg Clough (, DRW) · Jonathan Katz (, Databricks)

Two Postgres talks in a King's Cross pub, sponsored by ClickHouse. Greg Clough from DRW runs a production post-mortem: dynamic queries with tens of thousands of parameters saturated pg_stat_statements, caused exclusive lock stalls and cascaded into a Patroni high-availability cluster. Jonathan Katz from Databricks follows with a quick tour of what's coming in PostgreSQL 19. Welcome from 18:30, first talk 19:00, food at 19:45, second talk 20:00, then people stay on. Free, but register so the organisers can count heads. Why go: a real outage story from a trading firm is worth more than any vendor deck on observability, and Katz is a core Postgres contributor. Best for backend engineers and anyone running Postgres in production at a startup.

with Nigel Megitt (Executive Product Manager, BBC) · Mark Ison (Director of Engineering, ITV) · Sebastiaan Van Leuven (Head of Media Infrastructure, Anam.ai)

The London Video Technology meetup's first event of its tenth season, at a new venue in Holborn sponsored by Fastly. Three talks: Nigel Megitt of the BBC on DAPT, one open standard for transcription, translation, dubbing and audio description; Mark Ison, Director of Engineering at ITV, with war stories from broadcasting the World Cup; and Sebastiaan Van Leuven of Anam.ai on evaluating real-time conversational avatars. Doors and pizza 18:30, talks from 19:00. Ticketed through Luma. You need to give your real name plus LinkedIn or role and company, and bring photo ID. The exact address goes to confirmed attendees only. Why go: the people who keep the BBC and ITV on air at peak load, plus a startup doing real-time AI video, in one room. Best for streaming, media and video-infrastructure engineers.

with Andrei Simvolokov (, ) · Vlad Alexeev (, )

London's long-running iOS and Apple-platform developer meetup, this time hosted by Depop in Farringdon. Two talks, then time to talk shop. Andrei Simvolokov walks through Apple's Foundation Models framework: running an LLM on-device with no server bill, getting structured Swift types back with guided generation, and letting the model call into your app through tools, built up into an in-app assistant that actually does things. Vlad Alexeev covers remote code signing with CryptoTokenKit, so private signing keys never sit on a build machine. Doors 18:30, finishes around 21:00. Free, RSVP on Meetup; the group has hit waitlist before, so free up your spot if plans change. Why go: on-device LLMs are the most practical AI story Apple developers have right now, and this is a working session on how to ship one. Best for iOS engineers and mobile leads at startups weighing what to build into the app next.

A day on Solana's market microstructure and DeFi landscape, two days before Breakpoint opens: what is changing at the protocol level, what it means for DeFi teams, and how onchain traders are positioned. 09:00 to 18:00, exact address shared on registration. Run from the Jito Events calendar, with Anza, Ellipsis Labs, Firedancer, Helius, Jito Foundation, Multicoin Capital, Triton One, Temporal and World listed as sponsors - effectively the Solana infrastructure and trading stack in one room. Attendance is free but selective, with priority given to Solana builders, core developers and onchain traders. No speaker list is published yet. Why go: microstructure is where Solana's performance work shows up in trading outcomes, and this is the only London date where the people building the sequencing and the people trading against it compare notes. Best for DeFi engineers and quant teams.

Build interactive, user-testable prototypes from scratch. A hands-on, in-person guide to the GOV.UK Prototype Kit and GitHub.

The Solana Foundation's AI day at Somerset House, in Breakpoint week. Workshops run 10am to noon downstairs, talks on the main stage from 1pm to 4pm, and an AI papers discussion downstairs from 1pm to 4pm, one an hour. The line-up also lists live demos, panels and interactive AI experiences, with a happy hour after the mainstage. Space is limited and you apply to attend. Registration currently shows sold out. Detailed programming was still marked as coming soon when we looked. Why go: an in-person mix of AI and Solana builders in a landmark venue. Best for engineers working on AI agents and onchain infrastructure. Check the speaker list once it's published.

The Solana Foundation's engineering-only summit, in London on 14 November and running straight into Breakpoint the next day. Application-only, 09:30 to 18:30, with the exact address shared on registration. It is explicitly not a general crypto event - no marketing decks, no sales pitches. The programme covers validator performance, consensus, transaction landing, RPC, Firedancer, post-quantum readiness, agentic infrastructure and high-performance onchain applications, with hands-on workshops. A DevCave space runs all day for debugging and direct access to the teams shipping the code. Free, but applications are screened: it is aimed at engineers, validators, protocol developers, infrastructure teams and researchers. Why go: this is the technical half of Breakpoint week, filtered down to people who actually run Solana infrastructure. Best for protocol and infra engineers - if you are going for business development, Breakpoint is your event and this is not.
