NI AI Meetup - No.2 - Winter 26
Join us on the 5th of February at The Retro Room, Belfast, for our first event of 2026.
At each event, we aim to feature talks covering a broad range of AI topics — from introductory and technical sessions to business-focused insights, and even light-hearted takes on where AI is today and where it’s heading.
For our second event, we have some great speakers in an amazing venue.

The Retro Room is Belfast's first vintage video arcade premise with a wide selection of 70s, 80s and 90s original arcade cabinets, classic consoles, terrific tabletop games and some oddities too. It's open to the public every weekend at only £7 per hour, or you can hire the arcade for your private Arcade Party Monday - Thursday. We are delighted that they have offered to host and sponsor this event. As a community group run by volunteers and supported by local businesses, it is very much appreciated.
There are limited places for this one, so sign up fast, and if you cannot make it, please give up your space for someone who can.
We’re a friendly, inclusive group for everyone to learn, share, and connect. Please note this is a volunteer-run group and attendance is at your own risk. The organizer(s) accept no liability for injuries, loss, or damage.
