CoAI After Hours: From idea to something real
AI is moving fast. This evening doesn't have to.
CoAI After Hours is a relaxed evening for people building with AI, people thinking about building, and people who are just curious what everyone else is up to.
It's built around one question: how do you get from an idea to something you can actually show someone? We start with a short panel from people who've done it, in different fields, including the parts that didn't work. Then the room opens up.
The corners
This is where most of the evening happens. Each corner is a table, a laptop, and someone who knows that particular thing well. Small groups, no slides, and you move between them as you like.
→ Getting it deployed: what it actually takes to put something on the cloud and keep it running
→ From prototype to product: first users, pricing, and the unglamorous parts nobody posts about
→ [third corner, once your guest is confirmed]
→ Elevator pitch corner: see what other people in the room are building, ask them how it works, and show yours if you want to
Also on the night
→ A short panel and Q&A session on getting from an idea to a working product
→ 60-second introductions: who you are, what you're working on or curious about, and what you're hoping to find tonight. Sign up when you register if you are interested.
→ Plenty of time for open conversation
→ Light snacks and water
Who's in the room
Founders, engineers, people from the hackathon community in London, and plenty of people who only started looking at this recently. You don't need a startup, a technical background, or a polished idea to belong here. Curiosity is enough.
