Tech Events by Mindstone

Mindstone's monthly practical AI meetup, the largest of its kind in Amsterdam, at the Maarten Luther Kerk in Rivierenbuurt. The format keeps the focus on applications rather than research: people demonstrate what they have actually built with AI, what worked and what did not, followed by open discussion. Mindstone runs the same format across several European cities and consistently draws a mixed room of engineers, product people and founders. Free.

London's biggest practical-AI meetup returns for its August edition at Inspire St James in Clerkenwell. Three short talks span the technical, the practical and the speculative: a headline session from Sohail Shaik walks through an experiment handing ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini $100k each to trade the markets autonomously for 30 days, plus a hands-on productivity demo and a talk on AI's longer-term impact on work and society. Free, with pizza, drinks and open networking after. Capacity 600 and these fill up.

Free to attend; RSVP ahead as spaces fill quickly.
