[Tickets available here: https://CreateFashionBrandwithAI.eventbrite.co.uk](https://CreateFashionBrandwithAI.eventbrite.co.uk) **AI for the Fashion Industry: A Hands-On Workshop** Artificial intelligence is transforming how fashion brands work — from initial design concepts through to marketing and sales. This practical 90-minute workshop will show you how to use AI tools to save time, spark creativity, and streamline your day-to-day operations. Whether you're running a startup brand, managing a small team, or studying fashion, you'll leave with skills you can put into practice immediately. **What you'll learn** How to use AI across the fashion value chain — including design development, mood boarding, fabric sourcing, pattern making, brand messaging, marketing copy, social media content, product photography, and more. You'll also learn a 7-step prompting framework that helps you get consistently better results from AI tools — a technique you can apply to any task, in any tool. **What to expect** This isn't a lecture. You'll try things out during the session, work through real examples, and leave with prompts and resources you can use straight away. Bring a laptop or smartphone so you can get hands-on. **Who it's for** * Fashion brand founders and startup owners * Designers, marketers, and creative directors * Students and recent graduates entering the industry * Anyone curious about how AI can support their fashion business **What's included** * 90 minutes of guided, interactive learning * The 7-step prompting framework handout * Curated list of AI tools for fashion * Example prompts you can adapt for your own work No prior AI experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Tickets for the workshop are £50 for professionals and £25 for students/concessions. Please make sure you've booked your place with a paid ticket. Places are capped at a maximum of 25.

**AI is becoming part of many documentation workflows, but how do you turn that into a clear, repeatable strategy?** At this month’s meetup, we’ll focus on how to build an AI docs strategy by identifying gaps in your current approach, creating practical playbooks, and using automation to support consistent, scalable documentation. In this session, [Maddy Onyehara](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maddalena-o-bb2372020) (Technical Writer, Cloudflare), [Jun Lee](https://www.linkedin.com/in/junlee98?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios) (Senior Technical Writer, Cloudflare), and [Anita Achu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-achu?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_ios) (Technical Writer, Upsun) will walk through how to approach AI in documentation in a structured way.

Okay, so spring has already sprung. But late May is the point of the year when the temperature doesn't plunge 10 degrees the moment the sun sets or goes behind a cloud, so what better time to catch up with old friends and make new ones over drinks? This time, we're meeting at Frank's, a rooftop bar in Peckham which is reopening after its winter hibernation. Yes, you have to walk up a few stories, but you're rewarded with an array of high-level installation art and arguably the best view in South London (don't worry, there'll be a venue change if the weather looks bleak!). The entrance is around the corner from the area's iconic cinema, the PeckhamPlex. And if you need more incentive, here's a timely article about the venue: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/may/12/bold-tendencies-car-park-that-changed-british-art Usually, we kick these off around 7pm, but as it's outdoors I'm setting the start time earlier so people can make the most of the sunshine if they want.

We will meet outside the Richmond tube station and make our way via the scenic Thames path. * We will walk towards the Richmond Bridge and cross the river. Then we will proceed via the Cambridge Gardens, Meadowbank and Marble Hill park to see the Marble Hill House, which is a Neo-Palladian villa, now Grade I listed. It was built between 1724 and 1729 as the home of Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk, who lived there until her death. The compact design soon became famous and furnished a standard model for the Georgian English villa and for plantation houses in the American colonies. * We will then continue our walk via the Orleans Gardens and pass by the Orleans House gallery. Art lovers can always come back to visit the gallery, which is open Tue-Sun 10am – 5pm and it's a free entry. * We will then make our way to see the formidable York House and Gardens pictured above). This former stately home currently serves as the Town Hall of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. * A short walk from there to see the Eel Pie Island. This was a famous Jazz venue in 1960s. The island has about 50 homes, 120 inhabitants and two or three boatyards, as well as some other small businesses and artists' studios. For brief periods each year, usually in June and December, 26 studios in and around a working boatyard, open to the public enabling them to enjoy and buy the artists' works. This is where the walk ends. Twickenham station is 10mins away, buses back to Richmond are 5mins away. Optional drinks/lunch at the local Weaterspoons after the walk. What to bring: Comfortable footwear Water Photo-taking gadgets and chargers An umbrella just in case (it's London after all) The walk is free for members who have subscribed for an annual membership. For other members the fee is £5 cash/card on arrival to contribute towards the organiser's meetup fees and costs. The annual pass option is £15 payable by PayPal on the group's page, or cash/card on the day. This will provide access to at least 40 walks per year (members are welcome to bring a guest to each event). All walks are free for the NHS staff (also welcome to bring a guest). ***'No Show' Policy:*** *If the member replied 'yes' but did not attend the event, did not update the RSVP and did not inform the organisers on 3 occasions – this triggers an automatic removal from the group. That's once for events with a waiting list.*

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.

Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.

Who else is ready to sit outside? Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!
