Building a True Human-Digital Workforce
Leeds, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Navigating the New AI Operating Model: How Data, Context, and Culture Must Evolve Together.
As part of Leeds Digital Festival, join Nimble, alongside industry partners and guest speakers, for an interactive breakfast session exploring what it really takes to move from AI experimentation to meaningful business adoption.
We’ve moved past the initial hype of Generative AI. Now, businesses face the real challenge: how do you actually integrate AI into your organisation to create a cohesive, collaborative workforce?
This session looks beyond the hype to explore what a Human-Digital Workforce could look like in practice, and why success depends on far more than choosing the right AI tools.
Together, we'll discuss why organisations need to rethink not only their technology, but also the way they manage data, design workflows and prepare their people for a new way of working.
What we'll cover
- Data Foundations: Evolving your infrastructure with semantic layers and ontologies to make your data truly agent-ready.
- Engineered Context: The missing layer in most AI strategies—giving your digital agents the specific business context required to execute tasks safely and accurately.
- Cultural Adaptation: Redesigning workflows and preparing your human teams to seamlessly interface with, manage, and trust their new digital colleagues.
Whether you are a technology leader, a strategist, or a transformation professional, this talk will provide you with a practical, systems-level blueprint to stop simply "prompting" and start building a functioning Human-Digital workforce.
Who should attend?This event is aimed at:
- CIOs & CTOs
- Heads of Data & AI
- Digital & Technology Leaders
- Engineering Leaders
- Enterprise Architects
- Transformation & Change Leaders
- Product & Delivery Leaders
- Innovation Leaders
- Business leaders exploring AI adoption
This event forms part of Leeds Digital Festival, the UK's largest open platform celebrating digital culture, innovation and technology. As a Festival Sponsor, Nimble is proud to support the region's thriving technology community by bringing together business leaders, practitioners and partners to share ideas, experiences and practical insights.

Progress Check. Women in Tech - How are we doing?
Leeds, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Join us for a candid and insightful conversation about the future of women in tech and how we can all play a part.
Three years ago, Art of Cloud CEO Liz Rhodes led an honest discussion about the lack of women in senior leadership roles across the tech sector.
We think it's time for a progress check.
What has improved and where are we still falling short?
Women remain significantly under represented when it comes to leadership roles across tech companies and many of the barriers affecting the female talent pipeline are still firmly in place. However, new ways of working and changing attitudes are creating opportunities to do things differently.
Our panel, including fellow champions of women in tech, will explore the practical steps that could help accelerate progress. We'll look honestly at what has been achieved, what new challenges may have emerged and what employers, leaders and mentors can do to help cultivate lasting change.
Join us for a candid and insightful conversation about the future of women in tech and how we all have a part to play in this progress.

ProductTank Manchester — Public Speaking Training 2026
Manchester, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Find Your Message: A Public Speaking Workshop for Future ProductTank Speakers
Big THANKS to Craig Millar, Resonate Speechwriting who trains speakers, including for TEDx talk who's kindly offered to deliver this training for FREE for ProductTank members!
And another big THANKS to Grayce, who has kindly offered to host this event in their office and provide food and drink.
About this event
The success of ProductTank has always depended on members being willing to stand up and generously share their hard-earned lessons, ideas and experiences.
But giving your first talk can feel daunting.
Most people worry about confidence, structure, or whether they have anything worth saying. It's easy to wait until you feel "ready" - but the reality is that very few speakers ever do.
The good news is that impactful speaking isn't about being naturally confident or highly polished. It's about having a useful idea and caring enough to share it. And with a little exploration, we often discover that our experience is more valuable to others than we realised.
To help develop future ProductTank speakers, we're delighted to offer this free interactive workshop, led by experienced speaker coach Craig Millar.
Whether you're hoping to speak at ProductTank one day, another industry event, or simply want to communicate your ideas more effectively, this workshop will help you take the first step.
Who is this for?
This workshop is for ProductTank members who:
- Feel they might like to speak at ProductTank one day, but don't quite feel "ready" yet.
- Wonder whether they have anything valuable enough to talk about.
- Have ideas and experiences but aren't yet sure how to turn them into an engaging talk.
- Would like to communicate their ideas with greater confidence, clarity and impact.
No previous public speaking experience is required, just a willingness to explore and discuss your ideas and experiences with others.
What you'll do
Through practical exercises and small-group discussions you'll:
- Recall experiences that could become engaging talks.
- Identify the lessons your audience will find most valuable.
- Learn practical techniques that make talks easier to prepare and deliver.
By the end of the workshop, you'll have started developing a talk that you could continue refining for ProductTank or any future speaking opportunity.
About the workshop leader
Craig Millar is a speaker coach who has spent the past decade helping leaders, technical experts and more than 30 TEDx speakers turn their experience into talks that audiences remember.
He believes that everyone has valuable experiences worth sharing, they simply need the right process to uncover and shape them.
"No matter how good the speakers were at the start, Craig managed to help them develop their skills and become ready to deliver a great TEDx talk."
Yousif Hussin, TEDx Organiser
"I am blown away by how some great and simple tools are so effective."
Helen Herd, Global Head of Sustainability, McBride Plc
"Craig will improve your speech tenfold. The value of a good speech and presentation is huge."
Kavita Sahai, Serial Entrepreneur

Event details
Location: Grayce, 1st Floor Hilton House, Hilton Street, Manchester M1 2EH
Time: 6:00pm–8:30pm
Every conference speaker gave their first talk once
The turning point wasn't becoming more knowledgeable. It was realising that the experience they already had could genuinely help other people.
If you've ever thought, "Maybe I'd like to speak at ProductTank one day," this workshop is for you.
Please note
- Tickets are free but places are limited.
- If your plans change, please update your RSVP so someone else can attend.
- We may take photographs during the event for community and promotional purposes.
- Venue and event details may be subject to change.
AWS User Group UK Meetup #79
London, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Welcome to our September event. We’re delighted to welcome Yan Cui, AWS Serverless Hero, independent consultant and Martin Thwaites, Principal Developer Advocate, Honeycomb.io
Here’s what they’re bringing:
Event-driven architecture solves your coupling problem and hands you three new ones. Yan has run production workloads on AWS since 2009 and has trained thousands of developers on EventBridge and Lambda, so he knows exactly where the neat whiteboard diagram falls apart: tracing a request with no call stack, changing an event without breaking consumers you don’t control, and failures that land minutes after the original request. Tonight Yan is giving us the patterns that hold up in production - event envelopes that give you versioning, idempotency and tracing for free, end-to-end tests that stay inside your own bounded context, and a hard look at where governance earns its overhead.
65,000 attendees. Four days. A booth game that has to survive the moment a keynote ends. Martin built Battleships for the Honeycomb booth on EKS, then rebuilt it on Lambda MicroVMs the month they launched, giving every player their own machine with no shared state and no pod to fight over. Tonight Martin is walking us through the rebuild: the cost modelling against EKS, what changed once a session owned a whole VM, and the instrumentation that tells him the game is degrading before an attendee does.
A big thank you to our sponsors Cloudscaler & Rayo.
Programme:
18:00: Arrival, registration
18:15: Talks start
20:00: Networking with food and a drink provided by the generosity of our sponsors.
Session 1:
Event-driven architecture: the hard parts with Yan Cui
Event-driven architectures are great at helping teams build loosely coupled, scalable systems - but the neat architecture diagrams rarely show the difficult bits. In practice, they hand you a fresh set of problems that nobody warns you about at the whiteboard stage.
Once events start flowing across multiple services and bounded contexts, new challenges emerge. How do you trace a request end-to-end when there’s no longer a simple call stack? How do you change an event without unexpectedly breaking consumers you don’t control? And how do you test and operate a system where failures can happen asynchronously, perhaps minutes after the original request?
In this talk, Yan will explore the practical lessons and patterns that make event-driven architectures work in production, including:
- End-to-end observability as events flow across services and asynchronous boundaries
- Testing strategies within bounded contexts, and deciding what should, and shouldn’t, be tested end-to-end
- Schema evolution and how to change events safely without breaking existing consumers
- Catching integration problems early, before they reach production
- Error handling, retries and idempotency, including dealing with duplicate and out-of-order events
- Documentation and governance so teams can understand which events exist, who owns them and how they should be used
Drawing on real-world experience building event-driven systems on AWS, Yan will look beyond the happy path and focus on the trade-offs, failure modes and engineering practices that help these architectures remain manageable as systems and teams grow.
Learning Takeaways
- How to design an event envelope that gives you versioning, idempotency and tracing for free
- Why “no breaking changes” often beats every event versioning scheme, and how to enforce it
- A practical way to scope end-to-end tests so they don’t spill into other teams’ systems
- Where governance is worth the operational overhead, and where it just slows you down
Yan is an AWS Serverless Hero and independent consultant who has run production workloads on AWS since 2009. He helps teams go faster for less with serverless, and has trained thousands of developers through his Production-Ready Serverless workshops. A prolific writer and speaker, his articles on AWS and serverless have been read millions of times.
Session 2:
Every Player Gets a VM: Prepping Battleships for re:Invent Scale with Martin Thwaites
My job is not to build games, but it is to make our booths engaging, and Battleships is my latest creation. The first version ran on EKS, which meant a mostly idle cluster for something that only runs a few days at a time. And then I needed to think about re:Invent and its 65,000 attendees. When Lambda MicroVMs launched in June I rebuilt it, giving every player their own VM with its own dedicated memory and no shared state to fight over, scaling out as far as the queue at the booth demands. You will learn the nuances I hit along the way, how the move changed the architecture once a game session had a whole machine to itself rather than a slice of a pod, and the constraints I am designing around for the moment a keynote ends and the expo hall fills up. I’ll show the cost modelling against EKS and the instrumentation going in so that I will know the game is working before an attendee tells me it isn’t.
Learning Takeaways
- Compare the cost of a persistently provisioned EKS cluster against per-session Lambda MicroVMs for spiky, short-lived workloads, using real modelling rather than intuition.
- Rework an architecture once a session owns a whole machine rather than a slice of a pod - which shared state disappears, and which new constraints take its place.
- Instrument a system so you know it is degrading before a user tells you, and design around the failure modes of a hard, unmovable traffic spike.
Martin is a Principal Developer Advocate at Honeycomb and a contributor to OpenTelemetry’s .NET libraries. He has spent the last seven years working in observability, following a twenty-year engineering career building large-scale systems. His focus is distributed tracing and telemetry pipelines in cloud-native environments. He advocates for observability as a core part of software engineering, something owned by the engineers building software, not just the teams operating it.

We're back with another in-person ProductTank Oxford meetup at the King's Arms in central Oxford. This month, we're delighted to feature two great speakers with talks on roadmapping and AI assurance.
6:00pm Doors open, drinks, and networking
6:50pm Welcome
7:00pm Phil Hornby - Going beyond the "Now-Next-Later" Roadmap
7:45pm Break
8:00pm Claire Woodcock - Nobody Should Trust Your AI, How to build systems people can rely on
8:45pm Wrap-up
8:50pm Close (but you're welcome to stick around!)
We hope you can join us!
Going beyond the "Now-Next-Later" Roadmap
Roadmaps are a visual tool used to communicate and align many audiences. Yet why do most of them just look so boring? Now-Next-Later is a great start in breaking bad patterns but there’s more to rethinking the roadmap. Great ones show goals, priority and optionality. They capture direction, discovery and delivery. Yet they stay simple enough for everyone to understand. Learn about 14 visual styles you can choose from to deliver the message and keep the audience interested. Let’s turn your roadmaps from dull documents into powerful tools.
Phil Hornby is a highly experienced product leader, coach, and technologist with over 20 years in the industry. His career spans various roles, including product management, project management, operations, development, sales, and marketing across diverse sectors like SaaS, IoT, and Automotive. Phil's mission is to help product leaders think clearly, make strong decisions, and take powerful action that drives high-impact outcomes. Phil has helped thousands of individuals across hundreds of companies, combining technical, business, and human skills to empower teams and leaders. His expertise lies in delivering complex solutions that elegantly solve customer problems at scale. His approach emphasises collaboration, context-driven leadership, and continuous learning.
Nobody Should Trust Your AI: How to build systems people can rely on
You can hardly move for people telling you to become AI-native. Vibe coding feels like magic. Your customer service team is suddenly handling twice as many queries. And yet, you can’t shake the nagging feeling that at any moment one of these systems might confidently let your product, your customers and ultimately, you, down.
You shouldn’t trust AI, and neither should anyone else.
Drawing on lessons from years of working in high stakes AI products, Claire will explore why hallucinations are only the obvious failure; how evals can reassure you without testing what actually matters; and how to build safeguards, monitoring and recovery paths that help you sleep at night.
Drawing on stories from real AI products, we’ll look at how to add AI without surrendering control, and build systems people can rely on without asking them simply to believe.
This is not a talk about email summarisation. Bring your own stories from the trenches to share.
Claire Woodcock is an AI product leader who has spent her career building products in domains where being confidently wrong matters. Most recently VP of Science & ML at Climate X, she previously led AI Products at Mozilla, Twitter, Onfido and Babylon Health across climate risk, recommendations, biometrics and healthcare. She has a postgrad in the Social Science of the Internet from the Oxford Internet Institute and has published research on explanations and trust in AI. Claire specialises in turning complex machine learning into useful, commercially successful products, whilst asking awkward questions about what they're good at.
Cowork Cafe - Bristol Indie Developers
Bristol, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Cowork Cafe is a social, game development-focused work group that encourages game devs of all skill levels and disciplines to come together and work on their individual projects.
Developers, programmers, artists, designers, anyone working on anything game related can stop by and jam out with us on their current project.
How it works:
Cowork Cafe is 3 hours of pure relaxed jam time, where we get into the groove, develop, colab, and chat about our projects all we want. We do try to keep our discussions to a small scale for those around us who are in the zone.
Feel free to show up or leave during Cowork Cafe at any time. And remember to BYOH (Bring Your Own Hardware)!
This event is hosted at Replay Cafe. Join us at Replay, a vibrant board game café in Bristol known for its welcoming vibe and creative energy. Drinks and food will be available at the bar throughout the evening.

PyData Exeter, Owning Your Tech Future within a changing industry
Exeter, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
The future of tech isn't something we wait for; it's something we build together.
Join us on 23 September for a special PyData Exeter event at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM).
AI isn't just changing how we write code. It's changing how we build digital products, collaborate as teams, mentor the next generation of engineers, and create value for our users. This transformation presents challenges, but also an opportunity for our communities to actively shape what comes next.
With the support of Devon County Council, we are bringing together the communities of PyData Exeter, Tech Exeter, ProductTank Exeter and Digital Plymouth, for an evening of discussion, ideas, and shared perspectives.
We're delighted to welcome Jacob Tomlinson (NVIDIA) as our keynote speaker. Through his work in open source, Jacob has been deeply embedded in the transformation taking place across our industry, and we're looking forward to hearing his perspective.
Join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening of ideas, discussion, and community.
NOTE: The registraion for this event is on eventbrite!!!

What can you do so that your life after transformative AI is good? (free pizza)
Liverpool, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Artificial intelligence is likely to change our lives strongly, whether we want it or not.
Some bad things it can make:
- Artificial intelligence that has different goals than us and that can lead to our extinction (on average, experts and people interested in artificial intelligence assign 10-30% chance that this will happen).
- A lot of us might die due to AI-assisted biological risk (there is around 5% chance that around 50% of people will die because of that - very loosely based on forecasts from Metaculus.com).
- Concentration of power and inequality.
The good things involve scientific and technological progress and increased productivity leading to people living longer and being happier, in general.
One of the above is likely to happen soon. Forecasters from AI Futures predict that transformative AI will be created around 2028, and those forecasters have been generally right predicting the progress so far.
I believe that there are things that you can do so that it goes well for you.
The question is:
What can you do so that your life after transformative AI is good?
That's the topic I'd like to discuss. I have my answer to that question that I'd like to share, but everyone will have equal opportunity to express their opinions, and you don't have to express any opinions if you don't want to.
If you want to discuss something else, then it's fine too but the above question will take a priority.
This meetup is for everyone - for those who are interested in the topic of artificial intelligence, and those who are not (but still want their lives to be good). It's for AI optimists and AI haters.
The event will happen only if there are at least 3-4 attendees.
There's going to be 2 pizzas (for free) divided on maximally 8 attendees.
Rules:
- If you want to come just to eat pizza and you're not interested in AI, that's fine and that's allowed, as long as you don't do anything that takes your attention away (e.g. using phone for a large part of the meetup).
- No unethical advice, i.e. advice that benefits an individual at the expense of the collective.
The penalty for violating the rules is not being allowed to come to the next meetup, if there is any.

techSPARK Next Gen: What I Wish I'd Known
Bristol, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
A relaxed community for the next generation of people working in tech.
techSPARK Next Gen: What I Wish I'd KnownNew to tech? Still figuring out what half the job titles even mean? Same.
techSPARK Next Gen is a laid-back, no-agenda-except-honesty evening f********or people early in their tech careers.
No sales pitches. No recruiters lurking with a LinkedIn QR code. Just a room of people roughly where you are, hearing from people who were once exactly where you are, before they figured a few things out (or didn't, which is arguably more useful to know).
For our first get-together, we're putting six people from wildly different corners of the tech world, software, product, data, design, marketing, sales, ops, on the spot with one question: what do you wish you'd known earlier in your career?
They get five minutes. That's it. No slides, no pitching, no polished career highlight reel. Just wrong turns, unexpected opportunities, confidence wobbles, career changes, and the advice they learnt the long way round, because nobody told them sooner.
Come for their wisdom. Or, their lack of it. Either way, you'll leave knowing you're not the only one who has no idea what you're doing, and neither did they, for quite a while.
The Details
📍 Where: Central Bristol
📅 When: Wednesday 23rd September
🕠 5:30pm — Doors open. Grab a drink, arrive, settle in, meet people.
🎤 6:00pm — Welcome + What I Wish I'd Known: six lightning talks, five minutes each.
🍕 6:30pm — Pizza arrives. From there, it's simply time to eat, have a drink, and chat.
👋 7:30pm — Official wrap up (though nobody's kicking you out).
No forced networking, awkward icebreakers, or organised breakout groups. Stay as long as you like, talk to whoever you like.
This is a small, intentional, event so it stays a conversation, not a conference.
Who This Is For
Broadly, people in the first 0–7 years of working in tech or a tech-adjacent role. Software, product, data, design, marketing, sales, customer success, operations, or something else entirely, first job, fourth job, or a total career pivot into tech. It's about career stage, not age or job title.
Come on your own. Come with someone from work. Come with mates. Come with questions, or just come and listen.
What's Next
techSPARK Next Gen runs every other month. At the end of the evening, you'll get to nominate who you'd like to hear from next, so if there's someone in the community you'd want to grab a coffee withand pick their brain, tell us.
Future topics on the cards:
- Is AI Going to Take Our Jobs?
- Productivity & Balance (perfect for January, when everyone's New Year energy has already fizzled)
- Recruitment: CVs, LinkedIn, and how to be seen without cringing
- Wellbeing: looking after your (very tired) brain
Next dates: Wednesday 25th November · Wednesday 27th January

Colleagues as customers: the role of enabling products within large enterprises
Cambridge, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Inside large enterprises, some of the most important product work enables those that build for external customers. This talk gives an insight into the role of enabling products; differentiating treatment of customers and stakeholders, triggering the use of a "mandate" and what happens when your competing products are built... by your colleagues.
Drawing on more than 10 years working within Lloyds Banking Group across marketing, technology and product, the session aims to give a different perspective on product leadership, how it can be applied in a complex environment and why it matters even more as AI changes how colleagues work.
About our presenter:
Tom Kelk is a product leader whose career spans marketing and technology, most recently as Senior Product Owner for Productivity Intelligence at Lloyds Banking Group.
In this role, Tom led teams building data and insight products for engineers and executives to improve engineering experience and productivity across the 30k+ community driving technology change.
He's now moving into a new enabling product role at AstraZeneca, continuing to explore what platform thinking looks like when the customer is the colleague next to you.
