South London Playtesting at The Ludoquist, Croydon
We are a welcoming community of board game designers and playtesters, please join us and bring your games in development for feedback, to play upcoming games, or just to chat about the hobby and industry! We range from first-time designers, hobby designers, published designers, and publishing companies.
**Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will NOT meet on Tuesday, June 23rd. Sorry.**
We meet **every Tuesday** at The Ludoquist board game cafe in Croydon, from 6:30pm-10pm. We try to ensure that as many games can be played in an evening, and prioritise those that haven't been able to test their games recently, although we cannot guarantee that your game will be played in the first session you join.
The **final meeting of each month is reserved for playing published games**. We use this time to catch up on games that we want to try or discuss.

Online meetup: The Evolution of the PM Archetypes in the Age of AI
**Please note this is an online event. If you want to attend in person, please RSVP to our [In-Person Event.](https://www.meetup.com/producttank-london/events/315211795/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=347816072)**
**\-\-\-\-\-\-\-**
The "Product Manager" has never fit one mould, and AI is pulling the seams apart faster than ever. The consulting PM with the polished decks, the big tech PM optimising a metric three layers deep, the engineer-turned-PM still half in the codebase—these archetypes shape how we hire, coach, and judge PMs, but they were always more caricature than craft. This month we put them on the table and ask what's still true.
Our speakers share their own journeys and talk candidly about how the role is shifting as AI moves from a roadmap item to a collaborator in the work itself. Expect honest stories over tidy frameworks, and a real look at how the role mutates depending on where you sit.
**Our speakers:**
[Kiran Virdee](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kvirdee/) \- Head of Product @ Accenture UK
[Stephen Down](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-down-3b824146/) \- Senior Product Manager @ Channel 4
[Valeria Stromtsova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lerastromtsova/) \- Product Owner @ myenergi
As always we will close our meet-up with a candid discussion and Q&A.

Vibe Coding: Level Up
Vibe Coding Collective is a global community helping anyone turn ideas into working software with AI. We host relaxed social coding jams in bars, cafés, and maker spaces. Whether you're a developer or have never written a line of code, you'll fit right in!
On June 23, we're teaming up with [Momen](https://momen.app/?utm_source=luma) for a special edition about building full-stack with vibes. It is the visual backend, that seamlessly turns front-end "vibes" from tools like Cursor or Lovable into scalable databases, AI workflows, and secure, production-ready architectures.
## Format 🛠️
We team up in small groups of 3-4.
You'll start by designing and laying out your app by hand, dragging and dropping the screens, deciding how it should look and feel. Then you go from there to vibe-coded backends, including databases, workflows, AI agents, and logins.
By the end you've gone from a blank canvas to a real, working app with a brain behind it.
The goal is to vibe, and learn from each other.
## New to vibe coding? ✨
No worries. We provide simple starter ideas and example prompts so even total beginners can dive straight in without stress.
## Schedule 🕒
19:00 — Welcome
19:05 — Intro from the Momen team
19:15 — Live workshop: Building a challenge app with Momen
19:45 — Challenge briefing & team formation
20:00 — Build time
21:00 — Optional demos (show what you made!)
21:30 — Hang out, network, make friends
## Who is it for?
Anyone! Curious coders, tinkerers, designers, founders, AI-curious folks, and developers. If you've ever wanted to take an idea all the way to a real, full-stack app without writing code, you belong here.
## What to bring
- Laptop 💻
\- Vibes ⚡
## Location 📍
Brewhouse and Kitchen Highbury
2A Corsica St, N5 1JJ, London
## About Vibe Coding Collective
We're an international community of 3,500+ members across 9 countries, running relaxed social coding jams where everyone leaves with something they built.
🌟 No pressure, no gatekeeping. Just good people, fun ideas, and some fast-paced collaborative building.
Spots are limited and our events fill up fast, so RSVP early!

Agents, judges, and legacy code.
AI agents are getting better at writing software.
That doesn’t mean the software is getting better.
As AI systems become more autonomous, engineering teams face a different set of problems: unreliable outputs, untestable workflows, evaluation bottlenecks, and legacy systems that weren’t designed for any of this.
At this Future Form session, we’re looking at what happens when agentic systems collide with production engineering reality.
**Speakers:**
**Ning Lu, VP, Aladdin Financial Engineering, BlackRock**
Ning explores the evolving landscape of LLM evaluation. From static benchmarks to LLM-as-judge systems and agent trajectory review, he’ll break down how engineering teams can evaluate systems that don’t behave deterministically.
**Katie Roberts, Technical Director & AI Native Specialist, Nearform**
Katie will show how AI-native engineering can be applied inside mature brownfield systems. Using patterns like the Strangler Fig approach, she’ll explore how to isolate risk, generate tests for undocumented code, and evolve legacy architectures without full rewrites.
If you’re working with AI agents, legacy systems, or production engineering workflows, this session is for you.
Pizza, drinks, and practical AI insights included.

**6.45pm:** presentations
1️⃣ **The unsexy AI: vibe coding internal tools that actually pay off** presented by **[Ben Hammond](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bybenhammond/)**
There’s a lot of noise about what AI can do, and not much about whether it’s worth doing. Ben built an internal pricing tool with AI to speed up how the studio quotes projects, then wired its database into a calculator that lets potential clients get a ballpark cost in seconds. He talks through what he built, why that problem was worth solving over the flashier ones, and how to spot the unglamorous tools that quietly pay for themselves.
2️⃣ **Building a Product Business While Running a Solo Studio** presented by **[Chris Elson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechriselson/)**
From designer to developer to running a white-label development studio for enterprise agencies, Chris launched epicmaps, a nocode CMS maps plugin for Webflow, in the space between projects and has since grown it into a business of it’s own. Chris talks about the journey, choices, and systems that help him manage and grow both as a solo founder.

Stopping Collations Going Wrong
On 23 June we will be gathering at the Star of Kings for some Postgres and a pint. This time we'll have a talk by **Andreas Karlsson** from Percona on **Stopping Collations Going Wrong**, followed by a brief recap from **Alastair Turner** (Percona) and **Valeria Kaplan** (Data Egret) on **this year's PGConf.DEV**, where the PostgreSQL community celebrated its 30th birthday.
This event is generously sponsored by [Nexteam](https://nexteam.co.uk/), a London-based consultancy specialising in PostgreSQL-based solutions, database support, and bespoke software development.
We are a very informal bunch, so hoping to see you and your colleagues there!
We do need to know the numbers, so please register if you are planning on coming.
WHERE
The Star of Kings **on 23, June from 18:30.**
PROGRAMME
18:30 Welcome
19:00 **Stopping Collations Going Wrong** (Andreas Karlsson, Percona) - More below!
19:45 Food and bar snacks
20:00 **Celebrating 30 Years of Postgres at PGConf.DEV** (Alastair Turner, Percona & Valeria Kaplan, Data Egret)
20:30 It's a pub, so we'll stay and hang out a bit longer — but feel free to leave whenever you prefer!
About The Talk
**Stopping Collations Going Wrong**
Outside of causing trouble for you when upgrading libc what are collations good for? PostgreSQL's collations have gotten a lot of bad press from the upgrade issues but they are also a powerful and important tool, especially for working with text in other languages than English.
This talk will give an introduction to collations in PostgreSQL, including how to use them, what they are useful for, how they work plus some common pitfalls and misunderstandings. You will learn, among other things, about the three collation providers (libc, icu, builtin), BCP 47, case insensitive collations, CTYPEs, what new features have been introduced in recent PostgreSQL versions and get a brief look into the future of collations in PostgreSQL.
About The Speaker
**Andreas Karlsson** is application developer and long time minor contributor to PostgreSQL who recently has started working with PostgreSQL full time. Right now working for Percona with PostgreSQL itself and extensions, including pg_tde.

Harness Engineering in Practice: From Requirements to Implementation
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:** 25th June, 2026

Beyond the Classroom: Education in an Intelligent Age @ IDEALondon
# Beyond the Classroom: Education in an Intelligent Age
Join us for the next session of Deeptech Futures, a monthly series from UCL Engineering, supported by AlbionVC and Cooley LLP, and hosted at IDEALondon.
This time, we’re exploring **Beyond the Classroom: Education in an Intelligent Age**. As emerging technologies such as AI and VR move further into classrooms, universities, training environments, and online learning platforms, the question is no longer just what these tools can do, but how they should be designed, adopted, and evaluated.
From AI-supported teaching to immersive learning environments, education is becoming a major testbed for how new technologies shape human development. What does it take for these tools to improve learning outcomes, widen access, and support teachers, rather than simply adding another layer of complexity?
**What you'll get out of it**
* Hear from researchers and founders working at the intersection of education, emerging technology, and real-world implementation
* Understand how AI and VR are being applied across learning environments, from universities to digital platforms
* Explore what makes new education technologies genuinely useful, usable, and evidence-based
* Gain insight into the design, access, and adoption challenges shaping the next era of education
**Speakers**
* **John Mitchell** – Head of Department and Professor of Communication Systems Engineering, Co-Director, Centre for Engineering Education, UCL Engineering
* **Benoit Wirz** – Founding Partner, Brighteye VC
* **Stephen Hilton** – Professor of Chemistry and Enabling Technologies, UCL School of Pharmacy
* **Rajeshwari Iyer** – Founder, sAInaptic
* Moderator: Dr Rob Thompson, Vice-Dean (Enterprise), UCL Engineering
**About the series**
Deeptech Futures: Conversations at the edge of what's possible, supported by AlbionVC and Cooley LLP, opens the door between research excellence at UCL Engineering and London’s innovation ecosystem at IDEALondon. Each month we explore new themes, from robotics and XR to climate tech and health, designed to spark debate, share insights, and connect people who might just build the next big thing together.
**About UCL Engineering**
With ten departments spanning activity from cybersecurity to biofuels, synthetic tissues to international trade, UCL Engineering is one of the most diverse Engineering faculties in Europe. As part of UCL, London’s Global University, it crosses boundaries to work with other disciplines, universities, and cultures.
**About IDEALondon**
IDEALondon is UCL Engineering’s home for ambitious founders in the heart of Shoreditch, run by WilbeLAB. We bring together startups in AI, biotech, fintech, climate, and more, giving founders workspace, community, and direct access to London’s deep-tech and investor network.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

(Cross-Posting) From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity
Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/
=======================================
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Food and drinks will be available.
