Meet-ups don’t necessarily have to have a featured speaker and talk to be successful.
We’d love to hear from you about topics you’d like to cover in 2026 or if you feel your early morning East Midlands meet-up needs a change 🙏🏻

I'm not convinced that Agentic AI is a numbers game.
More agents != less complexity. And they don't necessarily speed us up either.
It feels like microservices déjà vu once again.

Scientists have discovered a virus affecting whales in the Arctic that might lead to mass stranding events. They flew drones over the whales to sample their breath for testing.
Meanwhile I can’t get my printer to print cyan after an Avery “no jam guarantee” label came off while printing.

Agent HQ might be the most important feature introduced in 2025. AI development has leapt from autocomplete, to Agentic Development where you coach an AI team member, to now having a "single command centre to assign, steer, and track the work of multiple agents from anywhere". Your new team awaits!

I might be late to the party but I’ve just finished the first of @benaaronovitch.bsky.social‘s Rivers of London series & I’m hooked. Ben’s passion for London bubbles through the entire novel as much as the city & its watercourses literally shape his rich & varied characters. Highly recommended.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

People say “use a search engine if you’re searching. Don’t use ChatGPT for everything.”
A search engine doesn’t follow up a question about using citric acid to clean brass door handles to request a picture, confirm the handles are likely 30s era, and say don’t forget to clean the brass screws!
