**AI on Tap: Real AI. Real People. Real Beer.** **📍** London’s monthly meetup for AI-curious business minds *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 London’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. ***What to Expect*** Imagine a night down the pub with those mates of yours who’re actually doing AI – not just talking about it. You’ll meet leaders and technologists from London’s business community who are in the trenches every day, putting AI to work. They’ve seen what works and how to make it happen; what flops and how to avoid it. Now they’re here to share – pint in hand. **🎯 "Pick a Problem" panel discussion** Before the event, you’ll have the chance to submit your thorniest AI challenge – then vote on which problems the room tackles first. Our expert panel will dig into the top-voted challenges live on the night, share what they’ve seen work (and fail), and give you practical next steps. *Your problems. Honest answers. Usable solutions.* **🏆 "Wins & Bins" lightning round** Got an AI gem that’s saving you hours? A tool that actually delivers? We’ll pass the mic around for quick-fire tips from the room – the stuff that’s working (or what to avoid), shared by the people using it. *Two minutes, one tip, everyone learns.* **🤝 "Sip Sync" on-on-ones** Want a guaranteed chat with one of our expert hosts? No awkward hovering required. Book a 5-minute slot on the night, grab a drink, and talk through your AI challenges – see if there’s a fit to keep the conversation going. *Totally optional, zero pressure, pint in hand.* ***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 Old Ivy House is a proper London pub with a cracking beer selection. Grab a pint and settle in for an evening of laid-back, intelligent conversation. ***Who's It For?*** Whether you’re leading a team or just getting curious, if you want to understand AI’s real-world impact, you’re welcome here: * Business leaders trying to make sense of AI’s potential * Managers exploring tools to improve productivity * Founders and entrepreneurs experimenting with AI * Knowledge workers who want to stay relevant * Anyone interested in practical, human-first AI conversations *No technical background required - we speak human, not code.* ***Event Details*** 📅 **When:** Wednesday, March 11th, 6:00–9:00 PM (doors open from 5:30 pm) 📍 **Where:** The Old Ivy House: 166 Goswell Rd, London EC1V 7DT 🍺 **What to bring:** Yourself, your questions, and a thirst for both insight and beer 💰 **Cost:** £39 🎯 **Format:** Expert panel + lightning tips + mingling + optional one-on-one chats with hosts ***Why We’re Doing This*** We believe that businesses using AI will replace those that don’t - and the ones that thrive will be the ones that learn fast, adapt faster, and support each other along the way. **AI on Tap** is an initiative of **Proof to Production**, a community dedicated to helping business leaders share practical AI stories from the frontlines - no theory, just results. ***Ready to see what AI can really do for your business?*** Grab a pint and join the conversation. 👋 First-timers especially welcome!

***In partnership with MentorX*** A practical, hands-on session for founders and business owners who want to transform unpredictable sales into **clear, scalable systems powered by AI, automation, and repeatable organic growth**. No hype. No complicated funnels. Just structured thinking that helps your business generate consistent opportunities — even when you’re not actively selling. ## Why Attend? Most businesses don’t actually have a sales problem. They have a **system problem**. This focused session is designed for decision-makers who want: * Predictable lead generation * Reduced founder dependency * Scalable processes that work in real life, not just on slides Clear frameworks. Real execution. ## What You’ll Receive (Free) 🎁 * **200+ ready-to-use sales and automation templates** * **Business Owner Habit Tracker (Excel)** to build consistency and execution * **Practical frameworks** you can immediately adapt to your own business You won’t leave with just ideas — you’ll leave with **months of direction**. ## What We’ll Cover 📌 Three short, implementation-focused sessions: * **Systemising sales in the AI era**: Move from random outreach to structured, measurable pipelines. * **Reducing founder dependency through automation**: So growth continues without constant manual effort. * **Designing repeatable, scalable sales processes**: Workflows your current — and future — team can actually follow. * **Designing Organic Growth Systems with SEO in the AI Era**: How to turn search visibility, AI, and structured content into a repeatable engine for sustainable business growth. ## Networking & Atmosphere 🤝 Between sessions, you’ll connect with other business owners in a **relaxed, informal environment**. Complimentary drinks and light refreshments include: * Red & white wine * Prosecco * Bottled beer * Soft drinks * Olives, nuts, and crisps Comfortable, focused, and built for real conversations. ## Final Note This meetup is a **clear thinking space for founders who want scalable sales and sustainable organic growth** — without burnout or unnecessary complexity. If you’re ready to build systems that grow your business quietly in the background, this room is for you.

A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games. Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it. We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different. Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before. Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part! Who knew getting fit could be this fun? **TO BOOK**: It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

Product Is… is BACK! After a break since April last year, we're excited to return in 2026 with lots of really interesting new themes and discussions to be had. Let's start with one. Here's the thing: you've been learning to write better prompts. But what if the prompt is the easy bit? What if context is where all the real work lives - and what if product people are the only ones who know how to do it properly? Will Chan, Senior Product Manager at Risk Ledger and organiser of the AI Signals meetup, will lead us through why context engineering might be the most important skill you're not thinking about. This event will be at Synechron's office on the seventh floor, 95 Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7NA. A massive thank you to Synechron for providing the venue. Doors open at 6:30 PM, we kick off at 7:00 PM, and wrap up by 8:30 PM. Drinks and snacks will be provided. Come ready for proper discussion, new connections, and ideas worth thinking about. \-\-\- THE THEME \- PRODUCT IS\.\.\. PROMPT AND CONTEXT ENGINEERING \-\-\- For product managers, designers, and researchers, context is everything. Context is the currency that sets product people apart from other disciplines like development or commercial teams. Product professionals need to understand the widest range of contexts - from users to business to implementation. As AI tools become embedded in our work, something interesting is emerging. To create effective prompts, context has to be injected accurately. But here's where things get fascinating - you may need to create prompts to create context to create prompts. It's turtles all the way down. The more time you spend using AI in products, the more you find yourself going back in your process. You're creating prompts for the final prompt, for the output you need to be as effective as possible. You might spend longer creating the prompt than doing the work itself. Join us as we explore what context engineering means for product people. How do you manage context in a rapidly changing world? What does this look like in a qualitative world where product people live in the grey area? Is context engineering the right term, or is it something else entirely? These are the questions we'll be tackling together. \-\-\- THE SPEAKER \- WILL CHAN \-\-\- Will is a Senior Product Manager at Risk Ledger and organiser of the AI Signals meetup. With over 10 years of experience building and scaling SaaS products in regulated, data-heavy environments, Will specialises in taking complex problems and turning them into products that drive measurable outcomes. Across legaltech, telecoms, workforce management, and retail media, Will has led discovery through delivery for AI and automation initiatives, improving adoption, containment, conversion, and operational efficiency at scale. Most recently, he's owned AI strategy and delivery for customer-facing platforms, doubling feature adoption and embedding AI safely into real workflows rather than demos or prototypes. Alongside delivery, Will enjoys developing product talent. He's coached PMs, shaped product playbooks, and led teams through clearer discovery, prioritisation, and execution practices. Will is passionate about practical AI application and real customer impact over hype. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ABOUT 'PRODUCT IS\.\.\.' \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- PMs, UX & UI designers, user researchers, developers - you like to dream big when it comes to digital products… Now it's time share your perspective! 'Product is…' grounds itself in informed, knowledgeable context and healthy conversation - vital ingredients to tech success. One keynote speaker sets the tone on a theme of less travelled subject matter before all attendees add their perspective during the second half of round table-style discussion. Don't expect standard tech meetup fare like "How to improve your CV/Portfolio for that dream job at Facebook" or "How this new framework/approach will improve your workflow" - this meetup is food for the mind, but also a place to meet like-minded big-thinkers! We welcome everyone who works in tech - EVERYONE has a valuable perspective that we learn from. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- WHY WE CHARGE FOR TICKETS \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- We do not aim to make a profit from this meetup, our goal is to create healthy and interesting conversations, meet new people and make new connections.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that. As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact? Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization. We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM. 📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St Located in: The Shops at Worthington Ample parking is available. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️
