About this event
AI builders from Leeds build AI live. What could go wrong? AI Lab hands the stage to the community. Four builders from the Leeds AI scene each get ten minutes: live, unscripted, bring your laptop. Each one starts with a quick "who I am," then goes straight into 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: 4 x 10-minute community builds, followed by open laptops-out networking. Audience: Anyone building or curious about AI. All levels welcome, from AI novices to AI masters. 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. Speakers include: - Charlie Bartle, CIO, Zygens - Rory Mason, CEO, 21 Degrees Digital - Ken Miller, CPO, Incuto - Alex Craven, CEO, The Data City - Zandra Moore, CEO, Zygens Hosted by Zygens, a Leeds-based financial services AI consultancy, and the AI Lab community. Part of Leeds Digital Festival.
