About us
Scotland Applied AI Meetup
A community for engineers, data scientists, and practitioners building real-world AI systems.
We focus on applied AI, from machine learning in production to generative AI, LLMs, and modern AI engineering. This is a space for people who are actively building, experimenting, and deploying, not just talking about AI.
Expect:
- Practical talks and live demos
- Real-world case studies from industry
- Deep dives into tools, architectures, and workflows
- Opportunities to connect with others working hands-on with AI
Whether you’re working on ML systems, GenAI applications, or data-driven products, this meetup is about learning from those doing the work and sharing what actually works in practice.

Everyone is talking about AI agents. Very few organisations are successfully deploying them at scale.
While many businesses have experimented with generative AI, moving from isolated pilots to enterprise-wide adoption remains one of the biggest challenges facing technology and business leaders today.
In this session, Stuart Bell will share practical lessons from helping large organisations build enterprise AI capability. We'll explore why so many AI initiatives fail to make it into production, how leading organisations are approaching agentic AI, and what it takes to move from strategy to real business impact.
Rather than focusing on the latest tools or hype, this session will cover the operating models, governance, leadership decisions and technical foundations needed to scale AI responsibly across the enterprise. That includes the roles and engagement models organisations need in place to make it happen, not just the architecture.
We'll discuss:
- Why most organisations are still asking for "faster horses" instead of rethinking how work gets done.
- Why AI projects stall between proof of concept and production.
- Why AI agents should be treated as products, not projects.
- Building governance, guardrails and responsible AI from day one.
- Designing operating models that enable AI to scale.
- Why the roles and engagement models around AI, not just the technology, decide whether it actually scales.
- Identifying the AI opportunities that create genuine business value.
- What senior leaders should be doing now to prepare for an agentic future.Whether you're a senior leader shaping AI strategy, an engineer building AI systems, a data or technology professional, or simply passionate about the future of AI, you'll leave with practical insights into how organisations can successfully move from experimentation to enterprise-scale adoption.
As always, there'll be plenty of time for questions, discussion and networking with Scotland's Applied AI community.
