Hi UmbLondoners, We're having a post Spark social to catch up on everything Spark and to look ahead to Codegarden.

People are responsible for paying for their own drinks and food (if wanted). We just promise to provide a friendly welcome! We've chosen The Old Thameside Inn Pickfords Wharf Clink St SE1 9DG Please sign up if you think you'll be joining the fun so that we can ensure that we have booked a space big enough for us! Hope to see you all there!

🤖 **AI is changing the way we work, how do tech writers adopt and adapt to these changes?** At this month's event, our colleagues at Checkout.com will explore both sides of the coin: writing *for* AI, and writing *with* it. First, **[Charlie Wildish](https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-wildish/)** (Staff Product Manager) and **[Preethy Sundaresan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/preethy-sundaresan-884543103/)** (Sr. Technical Writer) will walk us through content strategy for AI chatbots. Getting a chatbot right starts with defining how it speaks and what it knows, they'll break down how to build that foundation and the long-term plan needed to help the bot scale successfully. Then, **[Sebastian Garcia Cardona](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-garcia-cardona/)** (Staff Technical Writer) will address the noise about AI replacing writers. For most of us, the reality is about finding a better way to work with AI. In this session, we’ll share how we use these tools to speed up parts of daily workflows without losing the nuance that tech writing requires. **🗒️ Agenda** **When:** Thursday 16 April, from 6.30pm **Where:** Wenlock Works, Shepherdess Walk, London N1 7BQ **What:** **18.30 - 19.00** Arrival **19.00 - 19.10** Welcome & Housekeeping **19.10 - 19.40** Session 1: Content strategy for AI chatbot **19.40 - 20.00** Break **20.00 - 20.30** Session 2: AI as a writing assistant **20.30 - 21.00** Closing and networking *All times are approximate.* **📍 How to find us:** Enter the Wenlock Works building, and sign in at the front desk with the name configured in your [Meetup account](https://www.meetup.com/account/) (which is used in your RSVP to this event).

**FI NEWSLEARNS -** A monthly, in-person session where we gather to examine the week’s biggest headlines — scrutinising sources, narratives, and editorial decisions as unofficial editors of an open-source newsroom. **THE CONCEPT** Inspired by *the open-source newsroom model*, this **meetup** brings that spirit into real life. We create a space for honest, constructive analysis of how the news is covered and how the cycle impacts our interests. **WHO IT’S FOR** Originally built for journalists, it’s open to everyone. Media professionals, researchers, students, and curious members of the public — all perspectives are welcome. No credentials needed — just a critical eye. **WHAT WE DO** Each session, participants step into the role of FI editors and journalists. Together, we examine real headlines, using the FI platform live to improve news literacy and encourage civil, collaborative discussion in a non-judgemental environment. **BEFORE ATTENDING;** Before attending, we ask participants to review the monthly news cycle and come prepared with 3–4 editorial observations. These can include red flags (e.g. bias, weak sourcing, misleading framing) or green flags (e.g. strong evidence, balanced reporting, transparency) to discuss with the group.

Taisoken Sword Fitness classes are formulated to sculpt your whole body, build lean muscle and focus the mind. Based on traditional Japanese sword movements (‘Taisoken’ literally means ‘exercise sword’ in Japanese) the class blends cardio and light weight resistance training to burn fat and build long lean muscles. We make use of traditional Japanese training swords (called ‘Bokken’) to tone our arms and strengthen our cores. No prior training or martial arts experience is required, the class is completely non-contact and suited to all levels of fitness. Come and join us every second Sunday for a strong work out - most weeks be pop to the local pub/café for a quick coffee or cake (and let’s be honest, sometimes both!) Meetup Cost: £10 Please bring the payment with you on the day and pay directly to Taisoken or you can make a bank transfer on the day. Classes are for ladies only. Back ground Info: Taisoken Sword Fitness has been developed and is led by Jeff Humm, who has been studying studying the use of the Japanese sword for over 45 years together with other traditional martial arts. He holds a Masters degree in Traditional Japanese Martial Arts and a 7th Dan in Japanese fencing (Kendo). The movements are authentic cutting actions, some dating back more than 3 hundred years when your life depend on how well you wield the Sword. By taking authentic Japanese sword movements of attack and defence, these actions have been formulated into practice routines which work and sculpt the full range of the body’s muscles. Additionally the routines require participates to focus and visualise their actions leading them to seeking perfection in application which in turn empowers the mind and develops greater body and mind equilibrium. The Japanese sword is sharp and slender, renowned and admired across the world for its beauty and image; those that can weld it effectively are held in great esteem and revered. They are resilient and tranquil, with poise and grace they move without effort, mind, body and sword as one. Please bring the payment with you on the day and pay directly to Taisoken.
