Ale & AI
Monthly pub gathering with two talks and open mic where you'll demo projects, debate AI ideas, and meet builders over beer.
The appeal here is the casual format and the mix of finished demos alongside half-baked ideas. You'll hear two short talks from people actually building AI stuff, then the open mic is genuinely open: someone might demo a working project, someone else might propose a half-thought and invite pushback, or you might end up in a proper debate about whether vector databases matter. The crowd is builders and curious people who talk shop over beer without the startup pitch energy. It's the kind of place where you leave with either a concrete thing you learned or at least three people's contact details and a clearer sense of what you're confused about.
