AI Lab hands the stage to the community. Three builders from the Leeds AI scene each get ten minutes: Live, Unscripted, Bring Your Laptop

The AI Lab hands the stage to the community. Three builders from the Leeds AI scene each get ten minutes: a quick "who I am," then a live build no polish, no safety net. They'll take input from the room, hit problems in real time, and share the tips and fixes as they go. Then it's your turn: laptops open, and the room turns into one big, noisy, hands-on jam. Show your favourite project, swap your best hacks, ask a stranger what tools they swear by. It's messy, it's loud, and it's the most honest way to level up your AI skills and meet the people building alongside you. Come and be part of the chaos.

Format: 3 × 10-minute community builds, followed by open laptops-out networking.

Audience: Anyone building or curious about AI all levels welcome. Bring a laptop if you've got one.

The vibe: No experts on pedestals. Real builders, real problems, solved out loud. The failures and fixes are the lesson, and the shared chaos is what turns a room of strangers into a community.

Charlie Bartle - CIO - Zygens

Alex Craven - CEO - The Data City

Ken Miller - CTO - Incuto

Rory Mason- CEO - 21 Degrees Digital
