Research and Development

**Important:** Register on the [event website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026061110) is required for admission. **RSVP on meetup is turned off** Welcome to the AI meetup in London, in collaboration with **Coder and Netmind**. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \* 6:00pm\~6:30pm: Checkin and Networking \* 6:30pm\~6:45pm: Welcome/community update \* 6:45pm\~8:30pm: Tech talks and Q&A \* 8:30pm\~9:30pm: Open discussion & Mixer **Tech Talk: Scale AI Workflows** **Speaker:** Eric Paulsen (Coder) Abstract: This meetup is for developers and platform teams who want to understand what it actually takes to move from AI experimentation to production-ready workflows. We’ll focus on how teams are redesigning their development workflows to work with AI, not just adding tools on top. That includes how to structure workflows, manage agents, and introduce the right level of control without killing developer velocity. No hype. No tool comparisons. Just a clear look at why most AI workflows fail and what actually works at scale. **Tech Talk: AI-DLC: Navigating the AI Development Lifecycle with Kiro** **Speaker:** Ryan Tan (AWS) **Abstract:** This session explores the evolving AI Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) through the lens of Kiro's current capabilities and future direction. We'll cover Kiro's desktop/CLI deployment model and the path toward broader accessibility, early-stage developments around Kiro's upcoming autonomous agent capability, and how an agnostic philosophy — enabling choice of IDE, LLM backend, and cloud provider — shapes a flexible, developer-first approach to AI-assisted software development. Whether you're evaluating AI coding tools or architecting developer platforms, this session will give you a practical view of where the ecosystem is heading. **Tech Talk: Earning the Right to Step Away: AI Agents in Everyday Practice** **Speaker:** Billy Michael (GlobalLogic) **Abstract:** You've seen the demos. This is what happens after them. It's a look at the agents and skills we actually run inside GlobalLogic, day to day, on our own engineering and business work, and what it took to trust them. We started where most teams do: Claude Code in a terminal, with a human framing every task and pressing enter. The interesting part begins when no one is at the keyboard. I'll walk through the pattern we use to get there: build a skill by hand, live with it until it's boring, then let an event pull the trigger. The unit is always the same, a skill; what changes is how much autonomy the stakes justify. **Tech Talk: Trustable Agentic AI** **Speaker:** Xiangpeng Wan (Netmind) **Abstract:** NetMind.AI's [NarraNexus](https://www.narra.nexus/?utm_source=AI+Camp&utm_medium=Page&utm_campaign=20260611+Event) is a ready-to-run team of agents that already remember, collaborate, and use tools. Start from a template, or compose your own. **Speakers/Topics:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules.

**We only accept approved registrations for this event. Register on Luma: [https://luma.com/igw02vjg](https://luma.com/igw02vjg)** London Tech Week is full of conversations about what enterprise AI could do. This is the event for the engineers who have to build it. Specifically: agents that hold up past the demo. The ones that need memory that persists across sessions, context that doesn't collapse under load, behaviour that's auditable when something goes wrong, and infrastructure that can actually take the weight. That's a harder problem than most will admit - and we're going to get into it properly. Two engineering teams, one evening. Bring your hardest questions. Pizza and drinks on us. **Speakers** **[Tobie Morgan Hitchcock](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobiemorganhitchcock/) — Co-Founder & CEO, SurrealDB** **[Martin Schaer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinschaer/) — Solutions Engineer, SurrealDB** **[Ziv Ilan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ziv-ilan-nvidia/) — Super AI team, NVIDIA** *** **Agenda** * 18:00 - Doors + drinks + pizza * 18:30 - Welcome * 18:35 - Talks + Q&A * 20:00 - Drinks + networking * 21:00 - Close *** **About the speakers** **[Tobie Morgan Hitchcock](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobiemorganhitchcock/) (CEO & Co-Founder, SurrealDB)** Tobie Morgan Hitchcock is CEO & Co-Founder of SurrealDB, an AI-native, multi-model database for modern applications.

We are excited to host our coding dojo with Spektrix! We'll kick off with an introduction to TDD, its core principles, and following disciplined emergent design. Through hands-on pairing and mob programming, you'll experience how writing tests first doesn't just catch bugs, it shapes cleaner, more intentional code from the ground up. **What about AI tooling?** We encourage the use of AI tooling! We will briefly walk through how such tooling can act as multiplier, not to shortcut the discipline of TDD. **Don't have AI tooling?** No problem. TDD is a discipline that stands on its own, with or without AI. But if it's something you'd like to try, we can pair you with somebody who has the tools set up. Join us for an evening of coding, food and drinks. Come and code along, share ideas, discuss best practices with Test Driven Development and learn from our expert Crafters and your peers in the London Software Craftsmanship community. **What’s the format?** After a short intro, we’ll get into groups/pairs or work solo, whatever people feel most comfortable with, and start building. You choose how you want to work and what language you want to code in. This session is about collaborating with others, becoming a better developer and building your network, in a fun, relaxed environment. We'll be sharing ideas, discussing best practices and using this as an opportunity to learn from our fellow coders. All levels of experience very welcome, if you want to brush up on your Test Driven Development skills or are a complete novice, do come along. All welcome! All you need to do is bring a laptop if you’d like to code along - please have your preferred language and editor setup. **Food and Drinks** Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival

We are back! This is going to be a monthly IN PERSON meet up in London. A very big thank you goes to Accurx who is hosting us in their amazing Shoreditch offices. This will include access to facilities including coffee! 😻☕️ **Want to know more? 👇** As with all CoffeeOps, this is an interactive, chatty, build your own adventure type of meet-up. Instead of booking in experts to *learn* *from*, we gather a group of practitioners to ***learn*** ***with***. We have been running for over 4 years now and often get feedback that this is the most useful meetup people join! The event is approximately 90 minutes and always starts by brainstorming topics to discuss. The group then votes on the most relevant/interesting to them and we then cycle through the topics trying to discuss each deeply, but in a time bound slot. To get an idea of topics, you can check out our remote board [here](https://easyretro.io/publicboard/h404NF84Uje4tCcxpJdHr4Ycs9B3/a4a35d2b-181b-409b-832e-a729be1af79c). The general gist is anything is fair game, though we tend to revolve around software delivery and definitely lean towards the more Ops-y or DevOps-y side of things.

A gentle park yoga & meditation reset in London with manifestation practice, journaling & community connection. #### **Sunday Reset: Yoga, Manifestation Meditation & Connection in the Park** Join us for a slow Sunday morning in nature designed to help you reconnect with yourself through movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection. We’ll start on 14th June in Brockwell Park and continue with these sessions in different parks and outdoor spaces across London throughout the summer. [Book your spot](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sunday-reset-tickets-1989379466537?aff=oddtdtcreator). If this date or location doesn’t work for you, you’re still very welcome to [join our community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/I2zJrs91fG18glnwB6DAa4) and stay updated on future sessions. We’ll begin with a gentle embodiment-based yoga flow in the park, followed by an optional guided manifestation meditation inspired by ancient teachings developed over 2,500 years ago, journaling prompts, and an optional matcha or coffee circle afterwards. You’re welcome to join just for the yoga session or stay longer for the full experience, including the manifestation meditation and reflection practice. Whether you’re completely new to yoga or already have a practice, you are warmly welcome here 💛 **What to expect:** • Gentle grounding yoga flow (60 min) • Optional guided manifestation meditation • Journaling & reflection • Matcha & connection circle • Warm, supportive atmosphere **This experience is for you if you’ve been:** — feeling overwhelmed or disconnected — craving deeper presence and balance — wanting softer, more mindful energy — looking for genuine community in London — interested in personal growth and embodiment practices **Please bring:** • A yoga mat • Water • Comfortable clothes • An open mind • A pen and a notebook if you're joining us for a journaling practice Location details will be shared after registration in the closed WhatsApp chat. And here is an ongoing community: even if you can’t join on the 7th of June, you’re welcome to [join the WhatsApp channel](https://chat.whatsapp.com/I2zJrs91fG18glnwB6DAa4) to stay updated on future sessions and events. We're going to do yoga outdoors a few times a months in different locations throughout the summer. Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate and personal;) **About your guide** Hi, I’m **Ana** **[@mirr_ana](https://www.instagram.com/mirr_ana/?hl=ru)**. I’m a certified yoga and meditation teacher based in London, currently teaching in studios and also sharing community sessions in nature. My journey started very early. I grew up in a spiritual family and met my first meditation teacher when I was three. Since then, movement, breath, and inner practice have always been a natural part of my life. Before teaching yoga, I trained as a professional ballet dancer, which gave me a deep love for the body, expression, and the emotional language of movement. Over the years, I’ve explored yoga, meditation, Taoist and Slavic practices, and Buddhist philosophy, and I’m currently continuing my studies at the Asian Classics Institute. Everything I share today is simple, grounded, and very human, focused on helping you slow down, reconnect with your body, and feel more at home within yourself🤍

We playtest all sorts of tabletop games - strategic, silly, creative, or whatever (but not video games). Some games are almost done. Some are very early ideas. We test anything that will fit into 90 minutes. You don't need to bring a game - we always love to have new playtesters! Please let us know in the comments when you plan to arrive/leave and whether you are bringing a game or not. This helps us to plan the day better. The schedule is: 10am onwards - gathering, chatting 11am sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 1') 12:30ish - break for food/chat 1pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 2') 2:30ish - break for food/chat 3pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 3') 4:30ish - finish up Often, we might hang around afterwards, to play some already-published games. We are strict on timings, so please try to arrive a few minutes before the session to limit disruption. You can just come for part of the day if you wish. The reason we have fixed timings for the 3 'slots' is to make it easier for folk to do so. Designers of all levels of experience are welcome! But if it's your first time, we ask that you don't bring a game and just spend some time learning how the group works. The group works based on reciprocation. If you expect to test your own game, make sure stay for long enough to play other games. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to play one of your own games every third 90-minute session. So if you stay a whole day (3 sessions), you can expect to have one session to play your game(s). A good rule of thumb is that if you come all day, you will have one 90 minute session with two other playtesters in which to test your own games. It is sometimes possible to test games with more players. If your game requires 4 or more, please note that as standard you will be allocated half of a session (45 minutes). Pre-covid, we were getting unmanageable. As a result, we may have to limit attendees. This is a free-to-use venue, and we have to be mindful that other folk want to use the same space. Please note: This is an adults only event. We look forward to seeing you!

### AImpact: Leading With A Product Mindset Artificial Intelligence is changing how we work, lead, innovate, and create value. Yet many professionals still find themselves asking: * Where do I start? * Which AI tools actually matter? * How can I use AI without becoming overwhelmed? * How do I focus on outcomes rather than technology? This highly interactive 90-minute masterclass answers those questions. Rather than focusing on technology for technology's sake, this session explores how a **product mindset** can help individuals and organisations use AI to deliver better outcomes, improve decision-making, increase productivity, and create meaningful impact.

Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \* 5:30pm\~6:00pm: Checkin, Food/drink and networking \* 6:00pm\~8:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A \* 8:00pm: Happy Hour at Courthouse Social (cross the street) **Tech Talk: Secure Developer Environments in the Age of AI Agents** **Speaker:** Patrick Brown (Coder) **Abstract:** Federal engineering teams are under pressure to ship faster while meeting some of the most demanding security and compliance requirements in the world. In this talk, Patrick Brown of Coder explores how cloud development environments (CDEs) give agencies a foundation to accelerate software delivery without sacrificing control — and why that foundation matters even more as AI-powered coding agents enter the workflow. He'll cover how CDEs keep source code off endpoints, enforce zero-trust access patterns, and provide the consistent, ephemeral infrastructure that both human developers and AI agents need to operate safely at scale. **Speakers:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community.

Very few books are absolute must-reads. This is one.”―Siddhartha Mukherjee, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University and author of The Gene: An Intimate History "During the 25 years I have known Jamie Metzl, he has always been ahead of the curve. There is no one better to help us understand and prepare for the fast-approaching technological revolutions. Superconvergence is brilliant. I can't recommend it more strongly."―Sanjay Gupta MD, bestseller author, neurosurgeon, and Emmy-award winning chief medical correspondent (CNN) "Our world is defined by our science and technology—whether we like it or not. The question now is not whether to use these powers, but how best to use them. In Superconvergence, Jamie Metzl takes us on a journey through the new capabilities that are radically transforming ecosystems inside us and around us, challenging each of us to get personally involved with building the future we want."―Beth Shapiro, University of California Santa Cruz evolutionary biologist and author of Life as We Made It: How 50,000 Years of Human Innovation Refined―and Redefined―Nature "In a fine counter-blast to the pessimism of today, Jamie Metzl lays out just how spectacular the future of humanity and planet can be if we harness innovation responsibly and imaginatively to create what he calls the 'spiral of progress.'"―Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works, and co-author of Viral: The search for the Origin of Covid-19 “A page-turning journey through space and time that shows us how our lives will be changed by imminent technological advances we once only dreamed of.”―David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, and author of Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To “The superconvergence of the genetics, biotechnology, and AI revolutions provides spectacular opportunities for building a better world. It also represents an almost limitless investment opportunity. We were excited to collaborate with Jamie Metzl, one of the world's great experts on how these aspirations can best be realized, including in capital markets. Superconvergence is a master class for imagining, investing in, and building a future we'd like to inhabit."―Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer, WisdomTree “A clear examination of a transitional moment in the story of life on Earth…. Metzl capably describes recent developments in genetics and biotech and looks at how AI is providing an analytical engine of unprecedented power…. An important book in which the author sets out a path for the future based on his experience and expertise.”―Kirkus “Erudite, optimistic, and timely.”―Science Magazine "[In Superconvergence] Mr. Metzl has identified an important truth: that the convergence of new technologies is galvanizing us to reimagine how to meet urgent challenges in medicine and the environment. It’s a compelling opportunity—provided we manage to sidestep self-induced catastrophes along the way."―The Wall Street Journal ### About the Author Jamie Metzl is a leading technology and healthcare futurist and the founder and chair of OneShared.World.

**Agenda:** • 5:00 PM - Doors Open (in-person attendees). • 5:30 PM - **Deep Dive into Claude Code** • 6:30 PM - Networking • 7:00 PM - Doors Close **Talk Overview:** **Deep Dive into Claude Code** Ever wondered what happens under the hood when Claude Code runs your next Android task? This talk dives into the internals of Anthropic's AI coding agent — its bootstrap pipeline and agent loop. You'll see how fork agents share prompt-cache prefixes to cut input token costs and how four-layer context compression keeps long conversations from exhausting the window. You'll leave with a mental model of how this production AI agent actually works. Whether you're building custom MCP integrations, orchestrating multi-agent tasks, or just trying to get more from the tool you use every day, you'll have a toolkit of patterns to apply to your own Android workflows. **Speaker**: Mohit Sarveiya **Speaker Bio:** Staff Android Engineer AirBnb & Google Developer Expert **How to find us:** 1680 Capital One Drive, McLean, VA 22102 We'll be located in C2 **100 D/E**.
