Applying AI Events in Cambridge
"AI research" and "AI in production" are two pretty different worlds at this point. This page collects events from the production side: how teams integrate LLMs into real products, build agents that are worth trusting, wire up RAG pipelines that don't quietly hallucinate, and ship Copilot-style features without breaking the rest of the app. Agentic coding is a particularly active thread right now, with dedicated meetups and studios popping up across the continent.
This page narrows the Cambridge calendar to Applying AI events. It's a subset of United Kingdom's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

#49: AI DB Deployments Done Safely
Cambridge, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
AI in database deployments is inevitable. Whether it goes well depends entirely on where you use it, where you don't, and how you structure the pipeline around it.
Drawing on experience across dozens of deployments, this session walks through a practical agentic and AI-assisted approach covering branching, build, unit testing, audit and approvals, and parallel deployments - with honest takes on what actually works and what blows up in production.
Our speaker is Huxley Kendell, a DevOps expert from Redgate.
We'll be hosted at the rather wonderful Bradfield Centre, as usual.
Don't forget, we've moved to a new time from now onwards: doors open at 1800, and everything starts at 1830.
Here's the order of events. All times are UK time, and are approximate:
- 1800 Doors open: snacks, soft drinks and mixing
- 1830 Introductions, safety and parish notices (Jon or Steve)
- 1840 First session
- 1930 Break
- 1945 Second session
- 2045-2100 Tidy up and all out!
See you there!
How AI can improve business processes
Cambridge, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
How can you operationalise the benefits of using AI in your business?
Grounded AI and RedTech Recruitment are delighted to announce the next meeting of Cambridge AI on Thursday 10th September 2026 at 6pm. September’s focus will be on the role of AI in business process improvement.
We are delighted to be joined as speakers by: Catherine Breslin from Lichen AI, who will talk about how the key to adopting AI in enterprises is to listen to the knowledge and experience of the people who work there and co-create solutions; Toby Parnell from majaco, who will talk about how AI tools can help aggregate and analyse disparate, complex data to help deliver efficiencies in food production; and Neelima Alluri of Chain of Thought AI, will explore how AI can capture the engineering knowledge held across teams and turn it into practical intelligence for faster troubleshooting and more resilient production operations.
We are very grateful to Sonja Povey and her team at Raspberry Pi for offering to host at their fantastic offices at 37 Hill Road, Cambridge CB2 1NT.
Thank you to Neil Bharadwa of the Cambridge Fruit Company for their continued support.
Our sponsors are Grounded AI - building a Trust Layer for the Internet, RedTech Recruitment - recruiting the next generation of AI engineers.
AI Architecture Kata - Cambridge Tech Week Special!
Cambridge, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
We're delighted to announce an exciting Software Crafters Cambridge "Architecture Kata" held during Cambridge Tech Week!
Join us at the Bradfield Centre on 15th September from 6:30pm for this session and get the chance to flex your architectural design muscles - with an AI flavour!
"So how are we supposed to get great architects, if they only get the chance to architect fewer than a half-dozen times in their career?" — Ted Neward.
This quote highlights the need for practice, which is what our architecture katas provide: a safe, repeatable way to hone your software architecture design skills by simulating architectural challenges.
What's the format?
You'll be split into groups and have a business problem to solve. You'll be tasked with designing a technical architecture to meet that problem context. As with real-life you'll have to manage various trade-offs in your design and interact with a Product Owner to clarify your questions.
At the end of the task each team will showcase their architecture and technology choices back to the wider group as part of a group discussion.
Whether you're a seasoned coder, software architect, AI engineer or new to the scene, you're invited to share insights, discuss best practices, and learn from fellow participants.
No prior session attendance or architecture knowledge is required – just bring your enthusiasm. For this session, we'll provide each group with paper, pens and sticky notes to support the activity.
Important: Each group will be given access to one laptop to use AI to help with this. If you have a subscription you'd be happy to use, please bring your laptop!
Thank you to Codurance for sponsoring the community and providing the food and drinks, and to The Bradfield Centre for providing the venue.
Food and drinks will be provided with vegetarian, vegan and non-alcoholic options available
Want to bring a friend? Great! Just ask them to RSVP so we know they are coming.
