AI on Tap: Real AI. Real People. Real Beer.

📍 Brighton’s monthly meetup for AI-curious business minds; on first Tuesdays of every month

Cut through the AI noise - over a pint.

Tired of AI hype and jargon? So are we.
AI on Tap is a no-BS meetup for Brighton’s business leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, and knowledge workers who want to understand how AI is actually being used in the real world - without needing a computer science degree.

No pitches. No slides. No tech bro talk.

Your ticket = your bar tab
The £15 ticket price goes straight onto your tab at the bar. That’s right – your ticket IS your drinks. No extra cost, just show up and start sipping.

What to Expect

No pitches. No slides. No panels of people you'll never actually speak to.

Just a pub full of Brightonians (and Hove, actually 😉) having honest, practical conversations about AI. What's working, what's flopping, and what you can steal for your own business.

Here's how the evening unfolds:

Real stories to kick things off:
Two or three honest accounts from people doing real things with AI. Accessible to everyone in the room, whether you write code for a living or you've never opened a terminal in your life*.*

Breakout Sessions:
The room splits into Builders (the more technical crowd) and Users (people putting AI to work in their day-to-day). You pick whichever feels right. Each group runs a Wins & Bins round. People share one thing that's genuinely working and one thing that flopped, so you walk away with real, road-tested insights rather than theory. Then each group shares their highlights back with the full room, so everyone benefits from both conversations*.*

Link-Ups:
Sign up on the night for a five-minute one-on-one with a co-host or fellow attendee. Low pressure, high potential. If there's a fit, we'll put you in touch to keep the conversation going beyond the evening*.*

After that? The structure drops away and it's just good people, good chat, and great beer. 🍺

First-timers especially welcome, no technical background needed. Some of us speak English. Some of us speak code (and English too 😉)

What You'll Walk Away With
Stories from the trenches
Hear from local leaders actually using AI – from streamlining operations to scaling sales. What’s working, what’s not, and what they’d do differently.

Ideas you can use tomorrow
Practical stuff you can immediately try in your own business – no fluff, just value.

People who get it
Like-minded professionals navigating the same AI questions and challenges. Share what you’ve tried, ask what you’re stuck on, and figure it out together.

Great beer and a relaxed vibe
The Walrus specialises in exceptional lagers and craft beer. Grab a pint and settle in for an evening of laid-back, intelligent conversation.
