Check out our last event!

"AI + Coffee" Manchester - an informative social networking event.
Free to attend.
Venue: Department Coffee + Supplies (Campfield House, M3 4FP)

No speakers, no slides, no agenda.
One hour, in person, over coffee.
Most AI events are designed to inform.
"AI + Coffee" is designed to connect.

An open conversation about AI:

• What are you trying?
• What are you confused about?
• What's actually working?

Anyone is welcome, regardless of role or experience level. The format is deliberately unstructured because the best questions tend to come from the people who think they have nothing to contribute.

Come with a question, come with something you've been experimenting with, or come with nothing prepared.

There's no such thing as a silly question. Because "AI + Coffee" is created to provide a safe place for everyone to get involved in conversations about AI, it's somewhere to be uncertain in public without it feeling like a professional risk.

Join members of Norfolk Game Developers for a friendly morning of coffee and catching up.

There is a lovely sofa area in the Lions Den (City), which is above Knoops (opposite Greggs). Go up the stairs and the cafe is through the door on the left.

For more information on the event, you can see our event guide here!

Bring an idea. Leave with something real.

Delightfully Lovable is a hands-on workshop where you turn an idea into a working web prototype—and then make it something people genuinely want to use.

You’ll build with Lovable⁠, learn the Product Delight framework, and apply it directly to your product. No coding experience or development team required.

What you’ll leave with

• A working prototype you can continue developing
• A practical framework for making products more delightful
• Clearer product decisions and concrete next steps
• Feedback and connections from a room full of fellow builders

Who it’s for

Product managers, designers, founders, and curious builders who have an idea they want to bring to life.

You don’t need technical experience. Come with an idea—or discover one during the workshop.

Meet your hosts

Nesrine Changuel⁠ is a product coach, trainer, speaker, and author of Product Delight⁠. Drawing on more than a decade of experience working on products including Chrome, Meet, Spotify, and Skype, she’ll introduce the Delight Model and help you identify what can make your product memorable—not merely functional.

Elena Avramenko is the founder of Modaal⁠ and has more than 15 years of product and design experience at companies including Microsoft, Miro, and LEGO. She’ll help you move confidently from an early idea to a product you can actually demonstrate.

Dmitrii “Dima” Abramov⁠ is a Product Lead at Foundever⁠ and a Lovable Certified Partner. He has helped hundreds of non-technical builders create and ship their first products.

Together, Elena and Dmitrii run Amsterdam’s Vibe Coding community⁠ and will guide the live building experience.

How the workshop works

1. Build

See a product built live, learn practical prompting techniques, and create your own working prototype with Lovable.

2. Understand delight

Learn the emotional and functional ingredients that make products useful, memorable, and enjoyable.

3. Apply it

Use the Product Delight framework to improve your prototype, make stronger product decisions, and prepare something you’re proud to share.

4. Connect

Finish with demos, drinks, food, and conversations with other product people, founders, designers, and AI builders.

What previous participants say

“I left with an MVP on Lovable. Couldn’t ask for more.”
— Diego RT

“Concrete learnings and hands-on experience. The workshop created clarity and a repeatable flow for prototyping business ideas.”
— Cristóbal Desmaras

“I had a great time and learned a ton. I would highly recommend it.”
— Jamie Quinones

Feedback from previous workshops and Product Delight sessions.

The event is hosted by The Stepstone Group⁠. Venue details will be shared with accepted participants.

Bring your laptop, charger, and an idea you’re curious to explore.

5:00–5:30 PM — Arrive and connect
Settle in, meet the hosts and other participants, grab a drink, and get ready to build.

5:30–6:00 PM — Introduction to building
See how AI-powered product building works, learn the essential prompting techniques, and watch a product take shape live.

6:00–7:00 PM — Build your product
Turn your idea into a working prototype with Lovable. We’ll guide you through the process—no coding experience required.

7:00–8:00 PM — Product Delight workshop
Learn Nesrine’s Product Delight framework and identify the functional and emotional elements that can make your product more useful, memorable, and enjoyable.

8:00–9:00 PM — Apply it and connect
Use what you’ve learned to improve your prototype, share progress with the room, get feedback, and connect with fellow builders over drinks and food.

Timings are approximate—we’ll keep the evening relaxed and leave room for questions, experimentation, and conversation.

WiTT's annual discussion among women tech entrepreneurs

The November meeting of Women in Telecoms & Technology (WiTT) celebrates women entrepreneurs in tech with a panel discussion among leading women who have founded, grown, and in some cases sold businesses in the tech sector. Our women entrepreneurs event is timed to take place in the week before Global Entrepreneurship Week, which runs from 16-22 November 2026.

Audrey Mandela, WiTT Chair and co-founder of Multimap.com, will chair the panel.
Our speakers will be announced closer to the date of the event.

Our panel will discuss their views and experiences, including:

• panelists' own challenges in starting and growing (and in some cases selling) their businesses;
• best and worst decisions made while building their businesses;
• whether panelists believe there are differences between male and female entrepreneurs, the types of businesses they start, their management styles, and their experiences of raising capital;
• views on scaling up businesses started in the UK; and
• advice for other women entrepreneurs.

We'll begin at 6:00pm with networking. The panel will run from 6:45 to 7:45, including Q&A. Drinks and canapes will be served after the panel finishes.

WiTT would like to thank Michelmores LLP for hosting.

Please email info@wittgroup.org if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you on November 10th!

Legacy in Months, Not Years: Keeping AI-Written Code Safe to Change
Dmitriy Fedoryshchev

Hear how to tell whether agent-written code is making a codebase safer or riskier, and how the rules the agent kept breaking became checks it cannot skip, built into Dmitriy's own open-source tools.

Dmitriy Fedoryshchev – Lead Software Engineer – https://www.linkedin.com/in/dife/

He has worked on projects from startups to enterprises. His latest was modernising a 600-table, 21 TB legacy core into microservices, taking over from four previous attempts, with a squad that became AI-native on a custom multi-agent system under one doctrine: only merge code that can be understood and explained. Over a hundred merged open-source PRs across 20 projects, including Anthropic, OpenAI and Microsoft.

Builders shipping with AI, on what is actually working.

Earlier this year the group met for How Founders Use AI at the Light Bar in Coulsdon and the Hawk's Nest in Shepherd's Bush. This time the conversation is about building with AI.

A gathering of people building with AI in London: founders shipping AI products, engineers wiring up agents and pipelines, and teams putting AI to work inside what they already run.

AI moves faster than anyone can keep up with alone. What worked six months ago has already been replaced, costs shift under you, and the distance between a demo that impresses and something people pay for stays wide. The conversation is about how builders are working through that.

Expect candid stories on picking a wedge worth building on, what customers will actually pay for, keeping inference costs sane, judging output when there is no single right answer, and shipping something that holds up once the underlying models change again.

If you are building an AI product, or bringing AI into what you already run, this is a gathering worth being part of.

This edition runs on Tuesday, 10 November, from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Jolly Farmers in Purley, close to Purley station. Entry is free. You only pay for what you order. RSVP here on Meetup so we know how many to expect.

Venue: Jolly Farmers, 7 Purley Rd, Purley CR8 2HA, United Kingdom
