Summer is officially here, and for our June meetup, we’re heading to a familiar spot with a new name. We'll be at the **Old Street Tavern** (which you might remember as Serata Hall from our past events). We've got the entire upstairs space reserved just for us, so there will be plenty of room to grab a drink, catch up with everyone, and talk product away from the main bar crowd. It's the perfect setup to kick off the summer networking. **About Product Pints:** Forget the stuffy presentations – Product Pints is all about **meaningful connections and stimulating conversations** for product people. Our diverse crowd includes everyone from aspiring product managers to CPOs, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, and tech enthusiasts. Come along to get advice on a tricky problem, discover what other PMs are up to, or simply share a beer with your product peers. It's the perfect opportunity to **iterate on your network** and **launch some great conversations**! **If your company might be interested in sponsoring future events in 2025, please reach out to us at hello@productpints.com - thank you!**

Generic outreach is dead. Spray-and-pray emails get ignored, burn your sender reputation, and waste hours you don't have. In 90 minutes, you'll build something better: an AI-powered outreach engine that finds the right businesses, qualifies them automatically, and writes personalised messages at scale that actually get opened and answered. Not just theory. Not "use ChatGPT to write faster." A real, repeatable system — built live, around an actual EU brand. You'll watch the full cycle work end to end, then walk out ready to run it on your own business tomorrow. Here's what you'll walk away with: 🎯 Find — Pinpoint your ideal customers and pull a clean, structured lead list from sources hiding in plain sight. AI does the heavy lifting. ⚡ Qualify — Turn your gut instinct into a scoring system the AI runs at scale, so you only chase leads worth chasing. ✉️ Convert — Write outreach that goes way beyond {{name}} — then sequence follow-ups that hold the thread and pull replies. By the end, you won't just understand AI outreach. You'll have designed the engine. Perfect for SME owners, founders, consultants, employees and students who want a system that works — not another AI demo.

AI assistants are getting more capable. The question is how we build effective workflows around them. At DevDay London, [Lucy Joyce](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-joyce-597485166/), [Ash Shakrani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ash-shakrani/) and [Arun Kurian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arun-mathew-kurian-39b8aa5a/) will explore harness engineering through the lens of a payment integration. From requirements and design through to implementation, they’ll demonstrate why context alone isn’t enough for successful AI-assisted development. Drawing on real-world experience, they’ll show how engineering harnesses, reusable context, standards, and validation workflows help teams move beyond experimentation and build reliable, scalable AI-assisted development practices. **This session will unpack:** 🎯 Why “more context” isn’t the answer on its own 🎯 What engineering harnesses are and how they create reliable feedback loops 🎯 How standards, workflows, and validation reduce AI-generated rework and technical debt 🎯 Practical techniques teams can adopt immediately to improve AI outcomes 🗓️ **Save the Date:** 2nd July, 2026 📍 **Location:** Sahaj Software, 1 Quality Court, London, WC2A 1HR 🕕 **Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (BST) The evening will feature: 🎤 **One engaging talk** with Q&A 🤝 **Plenty of time for networking** over free pizza and non-alcoholic drinks Don’t miss this chance to learn, connect, and share with fellow tech enthusiasts. 👉 Please click the link below to register. https://sahaj.ai/events/harness-engineering-in-practice-from-requirements-to-implementation/

NEW VENUE! NEW REGULAR DAY! We're now back to where Southbank Vinyl began in 2017 - The Roebuck Pub in Borough (50 Great Dover St, London SE1 4YG). We're now meeting the first Wednesday of each month at the Roebuck, where great food and drink options are available and we have our own room upstairs to play our records on the deck. Come along with a bunch of vinyl you'd like to play and share with us! This month’s theme is 'Spaces and Places'. Think spaces big and small – rivers deep, mountains high, boxes you could live in, pockets you could put one hand in. Think places far and wide – halfway down the stairs, up on the roof, across the universe or intergalactic. We’ve got plenty of space at our place, so bring some vinyl, bring a friend, or just bring yourself and a pint. **And don't forget to RSVP!**

A focused Unreal Engine coworking meetup for developers, designers, and artists to build projects, solve problems, share feedback, and collaborate in person — no talks or panels, just real hands-on game development.

Come and join in the fun with talented guest Drum Masters Always suitable for beginners! All ages above 8. We are a 'Social Enterprise' so your attendance & support really helps us to survive.

Learning the rich cultural oral history behind the rhythms and how generationally passed down.

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
