Tech Events in London

London has one of the largest single-city tech-event calendars in the world. Every major engineering discipline sustains multiple monthly meetups here (AI-applied, ML research, backend, frontend, cloud, DevOps, security, data), and every major international conference has a London edition or satellite. Engineering leadership is unusually strong: LeadDev London is effectively a pilgrimage event, and CTO Craft, staff-engineer communities, and product-management meetups (Mind The Product) run year-round.

Fintech and AI dominate the conference calendar, matching where the city's tech capital concentrates. Community venues run across Shoreditch, King's Cross, and Southwark, with larger events filling the ExCeL and the QEII. Expect something worth attending most evenings of the week.

AWS User Group UK Meetup #79

London, šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ 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 ā€œno breaking changesā€ 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.

AI & Society Run & Coffee Club | London Event

London, šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ United Kingdom

Overview
Join us for a fun run and coffee chat in London, mixing AI talks with good vibes and a morning coffee/tea!

Join the AI & Society Run & Coffee Club in London!

Love chatting about AI and its impact on society? Why not combine it with a fun run and great coffee? This in-person meetup is the perfect way to connect with like-minded folks, get some fresh air, and dive into cool conversations about technology and life. Whether you're a runner or just a coffee lover, come join us for a relaxed, inspiring time in the heart of London!
AI & Society is bringing its Run & Coffee Club to London for one morning only.
Back home in Australia, this is one of our community's favourite rituals — no agenda, no pitch, just a relaxed run followed by a proper sit-down coffee and a chat. We're exporting it for a morning while our founder Sophia is in the UK, and we'd love London's AI & Society community (and anyone curious to join) to come along.
This isn't a race and it isn't a training session — it's a loop through one of London's most iconic parks with people who think about AI, technology, cities and society, followed by the part that actually matters: sitting down together over coffee.
All paces welcome. Walk it, jog it, or run it — the point is the conversation afterwards, not your pace.
šŸ“ Meeting point: Italian Gardens fountain, Kensington Gardens (nearest tube: Lancaster Gate)
ā° Time: 8:30am meet, 8:35am off — back for coffee by ~9:30am
ā˜• Coffee stop: Les Filles Cafe, 27 Craven Terrace, London W2 3EL (2 min walk from finish)
šŸ’· Cost: Free — coffee is at your own expense
šŸƒ Distance: ~5km loop around the Serpentine and Kensington Gardens, easy to extend or cut short
What to bring: Just yourself, trainers.

London, šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ United Kingdom

SEATS ARE BOOKED ON LUMA, NOT ON MEETUP: https://luma.com/984eit7a

RSVP here so you hear about future mornings, but your seat is only held once you book on Luma. Six seats only.

Curious about AI but never written a line of code? This morning is for you.

A hands-on workshop for 6 women around the dining table of a beautiful home right on Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London. In one focused session you go from idea to a real, working AI app or agent on your own laptop. Yours to keep, and you leave knowing how to keep building without me.

Complete beginners only. No technical background needed. Every basic question is a good question and nobody gets left behind.

HOW THE MORNING RUNS

Arrive: proper coffee, introductions, what we are building.
Build: your first app or agent with Claude, step by step, with me beside you.
Show and tell: every build demoed, every builder applauded.
Leave with your working app or agent and simple next steps to take it live on the internet.

WHAT YOU NEED

Any laptop and a Claude Pro account (about 18 pounds a month, cancel anytime). I send 10 minute set up steps when you book. Nothing else to install.

DETAILS

6 seats only. Great coffee and pastries included. Exact address sent after booking.

Founding price: 95 pounds (rising to 140). In return I ask for honest feedback and a photo or two.

Hosted by Sarah. I build with Claude every day, and I would rather teach you in my front room than a conference centre.

Meetup #18 - Did AI Break Recruitment?

London, šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ United Kingdom

Shaping our future with AI. Creating opportunity through AI fluency, connection and community.

No jargon. No hype. No confusing terminology.

Join us for our next in-person meetup in London on Tuesday 29th September.

The theme of this meetup is "Did AI Break Recruitment?" AI can rewrite your CV, apply for jobs, screen CVs and even interview candidates but are these tools really helping? As hiring managers and recruiters struggle to filter through the noise, job seekers (especially those with unconventional career paths) can find themselves filtered out without a human ever reviewing their unique experience.

In this meetup we take stock of where we are, what's working, what's not working and provide practical advice for hiring managers and job seekers alike.

Where and When?

  • Tuesday, September 29th
  • Doors open at 18:00
  • Talks start at 19:00
  • AutogenAI, 123 Pentonville Rd, London N1 9LG

Talk: AI broke recruitment — what’s next?

AI is making job applications faster, more polished and easier to automate — but also harder to trust. Candidates can generate tailored CVs in minutes; employers can screen at scale. The result can feel like an arms race of volume, keywords and automated filtering.

This session explores a more human alternative: AI that helps people understand, own and communicate their real experience with confidence.
Using Career Core as a live case study, the talk shows how a single, evidence-based career record can support accurate CVs, targeted applications, strengths reflection and better career decisions — without AI inventing someone’s story.

It also offers an honest look at building with AI ā€œvibe codingā€ tools: what they make possible, where human judgement and architecture still matter, and why real testing changed the product in unexpected ways.
