with Darragh O'Connor (Speaker, )

A lot of what people are building with AI comes down to conversations — chat, voice, messaging. Hosted by Twilio, this Builder Community Meetup brings Manchester's developers, tech leads and founders together to dig into what conversational and agentic AI means in practice. Expect tech talks from Darragh O'Connor and the local builder community, plus a session from the Twilio team on conversational AI, followed by food, drinks and plenty of time to network and see what others are building. Friendly crowd, all welcome — whether you're building with AI or just keen to see where it's heading.
