About us
Manchester AI is the North of England's leading community for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and AI practitioners.
Founded to connect the best technical talent in the region, Manchester AI has hosted over 19 events with consistently strong attendance — bringing together engineers, researchers, and technical leaders from organisations including Accenture, BJSS, Slalom, NatWest, Manchester United, and the University of Manchester.
Now under new leadership.
I'm Keith Griggs FCA — chartered accountant, former CFO, and AI strategy consultant. I took over as organiser in early 2026 to prevent this community from closing after the previous team moved on. Manchester AI is too valuable to disappear.
My commitment: regular, high-quality technical events with fresh speakers, strong hosting partners, and a community worth belonging to.
If you've spoken at, hosted, or attended Manchester AI events before and want to stay involved — message me directly.
