Ai Labs Live
AI Labs Live
Where curious AI minds stop watching and start building together
You’re excited about AI.
But most AI events leave you sitting in the dark, listening to talks, and walking away with more ideas than real connections.
AI Labs Live exists to change that.
This is a hands-on, highly interactive community for people who want to work with AI, not just hear about it.
The audience is a powerful mix of experienced developers building advanced algorithms and inventive vibe-coders using AI tools in creative ways. Everyone is encouraged to bring their laptop, share what they’re working on, and learn by doing.
the problem
AI moves fast, but meaningful conversations and real collaboration are hard to find. Traditional events make it difficult to ask questions, show your work, or connect with the right people.
the guide
AI Labs Live is designed by practitioners who understand how AI people actually like to learn and connect. The format removes awkward networking, lowers the barrier to participation, and creates space for real dialogue.
the plan
Each evening follows a simple, intentional flow:
17:30 | arrival and registration
18:00 | opening hellos
18:10 | community partner session
18:20 | community AI demo
18:35 | AI discussions with a twist
19:15 | AI presentation
19:30–20:30 | open networking
the magic moment: AI discussions with a twist
This is where the event truly comes alive.
Five topic flags are placed around the room, each featuring a timely AI topic such as “Long context vs RAG” (two different ways AI handles information). Participants choose a topic and dive straight into conversation. Every 15 minutes, a bell rings and everyone rotates to a new topic.
This simple structure:
removes awkward small talk
helps you meet more people naturally
exposes you to multiple perspectives in one evening
It works for both extroverts and introverts and creates conversations that actually go somewhere.
the transformation
You don’t leave with just notes and business cards.
You leave with clarity, inspiration, and real connections to people building and exploring AI alongside you.
AI Labs Live is more than an event. It’s a community built to help AI practitioners connect, collaborate, and push the boundaries of what’s possible together.
If you’re passionate about AI and want to be part of the future, this is where you belong.
🤖 Just a friendly heads-up: this is an independently organised side event taking place during Techarena 2026, hosted at a separate location outside the Strawberry Arena.
The event is planned and run by AI Labs Live and Wing People, so for any questions (or lovely words of praise!), please reach out to the organisers directly. 💛
