Software Engineering Events in London

Join us for an evening of good technical conversations at the in-person AJE Roundtable event!

You can support our community by donating to our Open Collective page

Whether you're a backend dev, full-stack engineer, or just getting started in tech, this event is a great opportunity to:

• Share ideas and challenges
• Discuss new trends such as AI
• Or never old problems such as "spaces vs tabs"

In a very casual, although moderated environment, where you are The Voice.

Our goal is to create a friendly and supportive space where technologists can learn from each other and have some fun along the way.

To meet popular demand and continue the tradition older than our community, we are inviting you to the in-person "The Voice of Tech - Roundtable".

• Think about topics you’d like to discuss
• If we have more than 20 participants, we will create breakout rooms to discuss individual topics.
• In such a case, we will need more moderators. Think ahead if you want to be one, and how you would approach moderation so that everyone can participate.

The Clojure dojo is a collaborative way to learn Clojure/ClojureScript through practice. The aim is to learn a little more than before you started. This event is for those new to coding through to more experienced developers.

We organise into small groups (2-4) people and write code to solve challenges great and small, chosen by those at the event.

We aim to ensure someone in your group has some Clojure experience, so you shouldn't feel lost (well no more than all developers do when Stack Overflow is broken).

Example challenges for the coding dojo are listed on this website: http://www.londonclojurians.org/code-dojo/

Various past exercises have been loaded to
https://github.com/ldnclj

18:40 Doors open and start collecting suggestions
18.45 Pizza should have arrived
19:00 Quick intros and vote on suggestions
19:15 Break out into groups and start practising
20:45 Gather together for a quick show and tell

We organise into small groups, so if you have a laptop with a working Clojure environment please bring it along (there are lots of online Clojure environments, so you can just use your browser too).

At the glass doors press the buzzer to inform the security guard you are here. Say you are here for the event on the first floor.

Is there way to talk with the Clojure community?

Why yes. The Clojurians Slack channel is full of friendly people who love to try and help. People based in London are often in the #clojure-uk channel. Sign up for a free account to the Clojurians Slack community via http://clojurians.net/

What is Clojure?

Clojure is a JVM language that has syntactically similarities to Lisp, full integration with Java and its libraries and focuses on providing a solution to the issue of single machine concurrency.

Its small core makes it surprisingly easy for Java developers to pick up and it provides a powerful set of concurrency strategies and data structures designed to make immutable data easy to work with. If you went to Rich Hickey’s LJC talk about creating Clojure you’ll already know this, if not it’s well worth watching the Rich Hickey “Clojure for Java Programmers” video or Stuart Halloway “Radical Simplicity” video .

Tech-बैठक (Baithak) London

For the tech people. By the tech people.

Kevlin Henney presents:

"Programming with Abstract Data Types" (1974) and "Abstraction Mechanism in CLU" (1977) by Barbara Liskov (and collaborators).

Abstract

Data abstraction arrived in the 1970s as a paradigm in its own right. It became absorbed into other paradigms, from object orientation to functional, and has heavily influenced programming language design since. At the heart and start of this was Barbara Liskov's work with the CLU language. In this talk we'll take a trip back to the mid-1970s to explore work led by Liskov in "Programming with Abstract Data Types" and "Abstraction Mechanism in CLU", taking in the context in which these ideas emerged and the long-term influences on program and language design.

The Speaker

Kevlin Henney is an independent advisor, consultant, speaker and writer. He has written and edited books on software architecture, patterns and development practices, and been active in the C++ standardisation process.

You’ve worked on the projects. Now learn how to explain what you contributed — and why it matters.

Preparing for internships, placements or graduate applications? Curious about AWS and what to expect from the recruitment process?

Join us for an interactive Career Boost Workshop — open to everyone, regardless of academic background or experience level. This session combines career insights with practical exercises to help you talk about your projects and experience more clearly and confidently.

What to expect

1. Meet an Amazon employee and learn about AWS: Hear an introduction to Amazon Web Services and an overview of its recruitment and interview process, with an opportunity to ask questions about preparing for applications.
2. Turn your projects into stronger interview answers: Using AWS’s Storytelling for Career Readiness materials, we’ll explore how to structure answers with STAR — Situation, Task, Action, Result. Practise explaining your individual contribution, the decisions you made and what you learned.
3. Practise in small-group mock interviews: Take turns as the candidate and interviewer, with support and feedback from Imperial staff and senior students. The focus will be on behavioural questions, teamwork, problem-solving and communicating your project experience — not testing your AWS knowledge.

Who will be supporting the session?
Alongside our Amazon guest, we’ll be joined by Jamie Wright, a Careers Consultant at Imperial Careers Service.

You don’t need a polished answer or a clear career plan to join. This is a supportive space to try things out, ask questions and improve through feedback.

What to bring
Bring one real project, teamwork or work experience you’d like to practise talking about, plus a laptop or notebook for your notes. A role description you’re interested in is helpful, but not required.

No previous AWS or cloud experience is needed.

Date: Thursday, 12 November 2026
Time: 17:00–19:00
Location: Dyson Building, Imperial College London — Lv3 301
Come away with a stronger project story, interview practice and a clearer idea of your next steps.

Did you know that November is the only month of the year containing the letter “V”? That makes it the perfect time for the valiant, vibrant and versatile Vaughan Grandin, Head of Financial Modelling at Teneo, to venture into a varied discussion, starting with the venerable (and controversial) Vlookup formula (valuable in the 90s, less so now) and ending up with the most important “V” in spreadsheets - Value.
Attendees can expect practical views, cutting edge and vintage formulae discussions, and vivid stories to revitalise oneself on a cold November evening.

This is an in-person only event live in London.
The event is held at
Meeting room 3
Canada Water Library (literally joined to Canada Water tube station)
21 Surrey Quays Road, London, SE16 7AR

Join us for our next NSLondon hosted by Depop!

We have two great talks lined up, plus time to chat and meet others in the community. We can’t wait to see you there!
RSVP early to secure your spot. If your plans change so you can’t make it, update your RSVP so others can attend.

💬 Talks:

Andrei Simvolokov — “Building an AI assistant with Foundation Models”
Buttons, forms and endless settings screens are quietly being replaced by a little text box that says “Ask me anything”. The future of mobile might be one chat bubble, and I’d like to make sure we’re the ones building it before it builds itself.

In this talk we’ll cover the basics of Apple’s Foundation Models framework: running an LLM on-device with no server bill and no user data leaving the phone, getting structured Swift types back with guided generation, and letting the model call into your app with tools.

We’ll put those pieces together into an in-app assistant that can actually do things for your users, not just chat with them. No PhD required, just Xcode and a healthy fear of being replaced by the very thing you’re shipping.

Vlad Alexeev — “Remote Code Signing on Apple Platforms”
Code signing is essential for Apple platforms, but it raises a critical question: how do we ensure our private keys never leak?

In this talk, I’ll share our journey to solving this challenge by implementing remote code signing using Apple’s CryptoTokenKit framework.

🕓 Schedule:
6:30 PM Arrival and check-in at reception. Food and drink will be provided.
7:00 PM Presentations start
9:00 PM Continue the conversation at a pub nearby

Check-in Process: Arrive at 6:30 PM to complete the check-in process at our reception. Provide your full name and mention the NSLondon event to be signed in.

A monthly, peer-led space to discuss tech sovereignty, swap ideas, and find real alternatives to big tech.

We are Natasha and Tim from CoTech, a network of 28 worker-owned digital and tech cooperatives in the UK.

We want to advance the debate around tech sovereignty with a view to helping more organisations and people understand the issues and risks involved in using big tech and empowering them to move away from it.

A facilitated peer-to-peer knowledge sharing space for:

• discussing tech sovereignty
• networking
• show and tell
• sharing ideas
• exploring platforms
• finding solutions that work!

Anyone with an interest in tech sovereignty or open source technologies: developers, product owners, comms folks, political technologists, policy makers, IT folks, and more.

We’d particularly love to see

• People active in open source technology communities
• People actively working on moving themselves or their clients away from big tech
• People building or using ethical digital tools who are willing to share their workflows

0–15 min Welcome
Quick round of names + one sentence on why you're here. Write name and org on sticker and then we’ll put them on a sheet and people can take a photograph at the end.

15–25 min: Open pitch round
Anyone with a tool, workflow, or burning question writes it on a post-it, sticks it on the wall. We cluster them live into 3–4 topics.

25–55 min****:**** Self-selected small groups (4–6 people) around each topic
This is where the "show and tell" and "exploring platforms" bits naturally happen.

55–70 min Regroup
Report-back per group, just highlights, not minutes.

70–80 min Next session planning discussion
Meeting planned forTuesday 13th October 15:00-15:30.

80-90 min Open mingling
Peer connections that started in small groups can continue one-on-one.

Welcome to the DevSecOps London Gathering November Event on Wednesday 18 November! We bring you two more great speakers, as well as the usual conversations, pizza and beer!

📍 Hosted at Adaptavist, Telephone House, 69-77 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NQ
📅 Wednesday, 18 November 2026
🕕 6:00–8:00 PM

Talk 1 - Nobody inspects hop three — securing agent-to-agent messages
Multi-agent AI pipelines split work across orchestrator, researcher, and writer agents — but most teams still only inspect the user prompt. Indirect injection arrives inside web fetches and inter-agent handoffs, and the last agent in the chain often holds the credentials. This session tells that story live: an attack that succeeds without protection, then the same pipeline secured with AgentGuard — open-source Python middleware (pip install inter-agent-guard) that inspects every hop with rules, optional ML scoring, Ed25519 trust attestation, YAML capability manifests, and a tamper-evident audit log.
You will see which defences are deterministic and deployable today (signatures and policy) versus probabilistic (ML with published limits). The demo uses IntelBrief, a three-agent LangGraph pipeline: poisoned web content and forged orchestrator messages blocked at the tool boundary and signature layer. Audience takeaway: deploy identity and capability controls immediately; treat ML as defence in depth with honest metrics; audit every block decision.

Speaker Bio:
Umme Nizba designed and built AgentGuard, an open-source firewall for the messages AI agents send each other — inspecting content, verifying Ed25519 signatures, enforcing YAML capability policy, and logging every decision in a tamper-evident audit trail. The library ships on PyPI and GitHub (v1.2.0) with IntelBrief, a live three-agent demo for indirect injection and impersonation attacks.

They hold an MSc in Information Security from Royal Holloway University of London and work as a software engineer in regulated financial services, with experience spanning secure system design, threat modelling, PCI-aware data pipelines at scale, authentication, and real-time platforms. Their talks emphasise what teams can deploy deterministically tomorrow — trust and policy — versus probabilistic ML with published limits.

We have a very special meetup for our November edition!
We are thrilled to welcome Hemal Varambhia presenting:

The Hottest New Programming Language is Ubiquitous (Within a Bounded Context Window)

Speaker Biography:
Hemal Varambhia is a senior technical coach at Simply Business, an insurtech based in London. Prior to his career in software development, he was an atomic
and molecular physicist at UCL, in which he holds a doctorate. Outside of software
development, Hemal enjoys reading and taking long walks and still maintains a strong
interest in physics. Pronouns: He/Him/His

Key Takeaways:

• This talk is a continuation of Hemal’s session at the LSCC in September 2025. Later that year, he began to reap the benefits of DDD and Ports and Adapters: refining his programmer tests (no more Docker for unit tests!) and bringing the ubiquitous language to life, which made writing tests cheap and, more importantly, fun.
  Towards the end of 2025, Hemal gave in to FOMO and started exploring AI-assisted programming. He was particularly interested in whether it was now possible to prompt an LLM entirely in the ubiquitous language and produce well-structured code, and in what role refactoring plays when it does.
  Is the future of programming DDD’s ubiquitous language? Come along to find out, and see how refactoring can be unlocked as a superpower.

Food and Drinks
Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival sponsored by Codurance, with vegetarian and vegan options available.

We look forward to seeing you!

Keycloak Meetup in London — 20 November, 1–5pm

Join the Keycloak User Group UK and Phase Two on 20 November, from 1–5pm, for our first Keycloak meetup at London Bridge Hive.

What is Off The Wall?

Entrepreneurs First and Stripe are bringing together some of the sharpest technical people we’ve met, or are yet to meet, for an afternoon of friendly padel.

Who is it for?

You're competitive, both on and off the court. Whether it’s hackathons, in academics or in your job. Padel experience isn't necessary, but an attitude of winning is welcome.

What's the format?

Twelve people selected to participate. Two courts. 90 mins.

A round-robin of play and conversation. By the end, you'll have shared a court with everyone. Whatever starts on court carries on over drinks afterwards.

Why padel?

Often technical people get together to build. We want to switch it up. Sport brings out the best (or maybe the worst) in people - a social, competitive setting where you find out pretty quickly how someone handles pressure. Padel is played in pairs, so you'll be relying on someone you've only just met to win.

It's quick to pick up, so don't worry if you've never played.

What do you need to know?

Arrive at 14:15. Play starts at 14:30, and drinks wrap up around 17:00.

Racquets and balls are provided. Wear sportswear and trainers.

How do you join?

This event is mainly invite only, but we're opening up a few spaces. Complete the short application form linked on this page. We review applications on a rolling basis.
