Vibe Coding Collective | Every Batman Needs an AI Agent

Tue, Apr 28, 5:00 PM

From Vibe Coding Collective

4.8

**Details 🚀** April 28 is Superhero Day. And no superhero leaves home without their Robin. This year, we're calling it an AI Agent. Join us for an exploration of AI agents: how they work, what they can actually *do*, and the workflows you never knew you needed them for! We'll be diving deeper than usual, hands-on with **Notion's** agent capabilities. Led by **[Liberatus](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liberatus/)** (ex-Amazon, recent Notion Hackathon winner), we'll discover the agentic way of building. **Complexity Level: ⭐⭐ (2/3 stars)** This one's a step up from our regular events. You'll get the most out of it if you've already played with prompting or understand how AI tools work. Coding skills aren't mandatory, but comfort with experimentation is! **Format 🛠️** Small groups (2–3 people) tackle open-ended challenges using Notion agents. The goal: learn how agents think differently, build something you didn't think was possible, and vibe with people who get it. Our friends from QuantSpark happily provided us with their space and will treat us with some snacks and refreshments 👾 **New to agents?** No worries! Liberatus kicks us off with a guide to agent fundamentals and example use cases so you can jump in without overthinking it. *** **Schedule 🕒** (Doors open early—aim for 6:50 PM so we start on time) * 6:00 – Presentation: Agent fundamentals from Liberatus * 6:15 – Challenge assignment + team formation 🤝 * 6:15 – Round 1: Build together 💻 * 7:00 – Break (grab a drink, swap ideas, compare what your agents are doing) 🍺 * 7:20 – Round 2: Keep building 🏗️ * 7:50 – Optional demos 📺 * 8:10 – Hang out, network, make friends ✌️ *** **Who is it for?** Anyone curious about what AI agents actually do. Folks who've tinkered with prompting, designers thinking about automation, people building with Notion, or anyone who wants to see where agent-powered workflows can go. **What to bring** * Laptop! 💻 * A workflow or problem you're curious about (optional, we have dummy data) 📋 * Vibes ⚡ 👉 No pressure, no gatekeeping. Just people exploring what agents can do, together.

Welcoming complete beginners and experienced dancers alike to our fortnightly teaching & social evenings in South Kensington.

Within minutes you'll be setting and spinning with the rest of us! **The details:** 📍 Marlborough Primary School, Draycott Avenue, SW3 3AP Close to South Kensington, Sloane Square and Knightsbridge tube stations (Piccadilly & District lines). ⏰ Doors open 7pm for 7:15pm start, but absolutely fine to arrive anytime. We finish at 9:30pm but many continue socialising at the pub next-door. 🎟 £9 on the door (card only) 🍷 Wine, water, and snacks included — with time to refuel between dances where you can chat with old and new friends, then maybe even join us at all the pub afterwards. 👟 Dress code is casual — just wear comfortable shoes you can move in (no high heels please!) Come along and give it a try — we'd love to see you there! See our Instagram page for what to expect: [https://www.instagram.com/pgt_reels/](https://www.instagram.com/pgt_reels/)

In person meetup to critique work submitted by members.

Wed, Apr 29, 6:30 PM

From Greenwich Writers

4.9

This is a live session at The Mitre in Greenwich. The purpose of this meeting is to provide and receive critique on submitted extracts of members' creative writing, whether they're working on a novel, screenplay, poetry, a memoir or short story, etc. We share our extracts via email ahead of the meeting to give us all a chance to read the work in our own time and reflect upon it so as to be able to provide useful critique. If you want to submit an extract mail me at gpatrick66@hotmail.com to book a slot. If you are new to the group we ask that you participate in at least two of the Wednesday critiquing sessions before you submit work for review so that you get to know us and have a good understanding of how we operate. This will help you to get the most from a critique of your own work. Extracts should be approx 3,000 words and the full document (extract plus blurbs, questions etc) should not exceed 3,500 words in total. Extracts must be mailed to me (gpatrick66@hotmail.com) at the latest by 9pm on the Saturday before the session so that I can share your work with the rest of the group. We have a limit of 4 extracts per session to give adequate time to review work properly. Feel free to give guidance on any specific areas on which you would like feedback. E.g. Plot, pacing, structure or character development etc. (If you have not received the extracts by the Sunday before the session, mail me.) The group is friendly and relaxed, so please don't feel nervous about sharing your work! We will normally review extracts according to the order in which they are sent to me but if you need a particular slot let me know when you submit your extract and we will try to accommodate that. Please note that all phones MUST be switched to silent mode for the duration of the meeting.

Free Meditation & Yoga on Thursdays in Greenwich @ 7.30pm

Thu, Apr 23, 6:30 PM

From Free Meditation & Yoga South London

4.5

Hello there! - We'd like to welcome you to Free weekly meetings hosted by Shalini & Manitu which take place at the: Greenwich West Community & Arts Centre, 141 Greenwich High Rd, SE10 8JA, on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm until 9.00pm With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for. Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually If you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might well help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems . You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it. Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realise, it isn't your typical Meditations 'R Us type class. It's much more than just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Sahaja Yoga Meditation has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your own way. Our volunteer experts are always available to help. Ready to plug into your inner energy? A Sahaja Yoga Meditation class is a great way to start. A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation. Sahaja Yoga is more than a temporary solution or quick relief — it is a journey, rather than a destination. It's all about energy — guaranteed pure and carbon neutral. You can never have too much of it. The best part? All classes are free. No strings, no catch. Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend, bring your self — all are welcome. We have a web site here in London too which you can visit for more info about weekly meetings: www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk (http://www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/) Join us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/London.Free.Meditation) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/SahajL)

#WPLDN - April 2026: AI in Agency Workflows & Levelling Up in WordPress

Thu, Apr 30, 5:00 PM

From #WPLDN - delivering WordPress-focused events in London

4.8

Join us for another evening at #WPLDN. This month, Louise Towler shares what AI actually looks like inside a WordPress agency, day to day. We'll follow that with a hosted, room-wide discussion on levelling up in WordPress, what the wider shift happening around us means for the work, and what it asks of us as a community. Two sessions, both grounded in the world WordPress competes in, rather than the world inside it. 📅 **Date:** Thursday, 30 April 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:00 PM BST 🎟️ **Cost:** Free (Registration Required) \-\-\- **Session 1: How we're integrating AI into our agency workflow** 🤝 **Speaker:** Louise Towler ([Indigo Tree](https://indigotree.co.uk)) Everyone's talking about AI transforming the way we work. But what does that actually look like inside a WordPress agency, day to day? Louise will share what Indigo Tree has been doing over the past year, integrating tools like Cursor, Sourcery, Claude, and Teamwork's MCP into real client work and reporting workflows. How they approached the change management, what genuinely saved time, what created more work than it solved, and what they're still figuring out. Louise is the Founder and Managing Director of Indigo Tree, a digital agency trusted by businesses and non-profits across the UK. With over 30 years of experience in software and website development, she leads a team of developers, designers, and digital marketers delivering high-performance WordPress websites, content strategy, and technical SEO. A regular conference speaker and recipient of a Women in Innovation Award, Louise is passionate about creating websites that are inclusive, fast, and sustainable. \-\-\- **Session 2: Levelling up in WordPress, a hosted discussion** 🤝 **Host:** Dan Maby The world WordPress operates in is shifting quickly. Clients expect more. Competition is sharper. AI is reshaping the work, the pricing, and what people are willing to pay for. "Good enough" isn't what it used to be, and the bar for working professionally in WordPress is moving up, whether we like it or not. So what does that mean for us? What does levelling up actually look like for agencies, freelancers, product builders, and everyone in between? And what does it mean for WPLDN, a community that has, if we're honest, often looked inward at the tool rather than outward at the world WordPress competes in? If the ground is moving, the conversations we have when we come together probably need to move with it. A hosted, room-wide conversation about the wider shift and what it asks of us, both professionally and as a community. Less about the tool, more about the work, the market, and what we want from the room we're standing in. Bring an opinion! \-\-\- **Schedule:** 🔹 **6:00 PM** – Doors Open & Networking 🔹 **6:30 PM** – Welcome & Session 1: Louise Towler 🔹 **7:30 PM** – Short Break & Networking 🔹 **7:45 PM** – Session 2: Discussion Hosted by Dan Maby 🔹 **8:30 PM** – Social & Wrap-Up \-\-\- **📢 RSVP Now!** Whether you're deep in AI tooling or still working out where it fits, whether you've been in WordPress for fifteen years or fifteen months, there's something here for you. Free pizza, excellent company, and post-event socials at a local bar afterwards. We'll see you there! 🎉 \-\-\- **Venue Information** **The Bridge** is a charity supporting women to make positive choices and encouraging improvements to fitness, health, and wellbeing. The venue features a plant-based café (supplied by Girls Who Grind Coffee) and is just a 5-minute walk from London Bridge Station. \-\-\- **Massive thanks to our sponsors who make these free events possible:** [DreamHost](https://www.dreamhost.com/partners/wpldn/), [PodcasterPlus](https://www.podcasterplus.com/?utm_source=wpldn&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=partnership), [Mollie](https://www.mollie.com/gb/integrations/woocommerce), and [Kinsta](https://kinsta.com/) \-\-\- If you're interested in being a featured speaker at an upcoming event, we'd love to hear from you at [https://wpldn.uk/speak](https://wpldn.uk/speak). **🎥 - Media Release Terms** By attending, you understand and accept that portions of the event may have audio/photo/video-recorded and/or live-streamed and may be used by the organisers.

How to Get Post Quantum Ready

Thu, Apr 30, 5:00 PM

From London Software Craftsmanship Community

4.7

This month we have a fantastic session hosted by James Birnie, Director of Strategic Consultancy at **[Forrow](https://forrow.uk/)** where he will talk about how to get post quantum ready. In this talk James will discuss why all the world's encryption will break, why a lot of your data is leaking right now, what you need to do now and what you will need to do in the near future. **About James Birnie** James Birnie has worked in software delivery since the 1990s, when TDD was something you studied but never did, "agile" and "lean" were words used to describe athletes, and Pipelines were for carrying oil. James worked in a successful startup for 10 years before he became a consultant (and an ex software engineer) at, first, Thoughtworks and then Codurance. After time as Head of Platform at Currencycloud and VP of Engineering at IMMO Capital, James returned to consultancy and is currently Director of Strategic Consultancy at Forrow. He mainly spends his time trying to keep organisations secure against current and future threats, including the immediate threat of Harvest Now Decrypt Later attacks. **Food and Drinks** Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival sponsored by **[Codurance](https://www.codurance.com/),** with vegetarian and vegan options available.
