Join us for a fun run and coffee chat in London, mixing AI talks with good vibes and a morning coffee/tea!

Join the AI & Society Run & Coffee Club in London!

Love chatting about AI and its impact on society? Why not combine it with a fun run and great coffee? This in-person meetup is the perfect way to connect with like-minded folks, get some fresh air, and dive into cool conversations about technology and life. Whether you're a runner or just a coffee lover, come join us for a relaxed, inspiring time in the heart of London!

AI & Society is bringing its Run & Coffee Club to London for one morning only.

Back home in Australia, this is one of our community's favourite rituals — no agenda, no pitch, just a relaxed run followed by a proper sit-down coffee and a chat. We're exporting it for a morning while our founder Sophia is in the UK, and we'd love London's AI & Society community (and anyone curious to join) to come along.

This isn't a race and it isn't a training session — it's a loop through one of London's most iconic parks with people who think about AI, technology, cities and society, followed by the part that actually matters: sitting down together over coffee.

All paces welcome. Walk it, jog it, or run it — the point is the conversation afterwards, not your pace.
