Tech Events at The Marquis Cornwallis, London

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.

ACCU London restarting after a few years off, with a deliberately interactive format at The Marquis Cornwallis in Bloomsbury. Arrivals from 18:30 in The Drawing Room, finishing at 21:30. Meri Williams, ex-CTO at Monzo and Pleo and co-chair of LDX, keynotes at 19:25 on their research into how engineering skills actually improve now, with advice for juniors and seniors. Then Speed AMAs: ten-minute private one-to-one slots with Meri, Paul Grenyer (engineering lead at Haven, author of So You Think You Can Lead a Team?), Quasar Chunawala (quantitative developer at CME Group) and Paul Ardeleanu (principal architect at Vonage). Hosted by Oana May. Registrations close 2 November and spaces are limited. Why go: the Speed AMA format gets you a private answer to your actual question from someone who has done the job, which almost no meetup offers. Best for engineers and engineering leads weighing a next step.

Please register on eventbrite, who will open the evening with a short talk about the JCP and the wider Java Community — providing inspiration and context for our roundtable discussions. Heather will also explore some of the key JCP working groups and areas of community collaboration, including: Java in Education – supporting the next generation of Java developers and exploring how Java can continue to play a role in education.
