AIDataTech Connect: Global Virtual Networking Event for AI, Data & Tech Pros

📅 Sunday, 25 October 2026 🕕 14:00 to 16:00 📍 How Matcha, 47 Blandford St, W1U 7HQ, London (map) 🗣️ Hosting in English 🎟️ Free (you pay for your own drink) Matcha & Walk is a relaxed Sunday afternoon walk in London, starting at How Matcha in Marylebone and heading through Regent's Park, hosted by Longevity London. What is this about? Walking is one of the most studied habits linked to a longer, healthier life, and it also happens to be one of the easiest ways to meet new people. So we keep it simple: a good drink in hand, a loop through one of London's prettiest parks and conversations that come naturally when you walk side by side. What to expect You start at How Matcha, order a matcha (or a coffee, no judgement) and meet the group. After a short round of intros, we walk up Marylebone High Street and into Regent's Park at an easy pace. Halfway through, we stop by the Boating Lake and talk about what matcha actually does for your health, including L-theanine (an amino acid in green tea linked to calm, focused alertness). Schedule 14:00 Meet at How Matcha and grab a drink 14:20 Welcome and a short round of intros 14:35 Walk via Marylebone High Street to Regent's Park 15:15 Matcha break by the Boating Lake 16:00 Ending Who is it for? Anyone in London who is curious about health and longevity, whether you track your sleep scores or are just starting to think about it. You can come alone, because most people do. Good to know Look for the red Longevity document, that's us. Bring a jacket. We're outside for about two hours and late October can be a little fresh. The clocks go back the night before. Your phone will manage, your alarm clock might not. We'll take photos for our social channels. If you'd rather not appear, just tell us on the day. Free to join. RSVP so we know how many of us to expect. Longevity London is part of Longevity Cities, a global community making science-based longevity accessible, open, and human. From Munich and Berlin to London, Zürich, and beyon

Claude & Coffee comes to London ☕ Curious about Claude? Already using it and want to get more out of it?

No slides and no pressure, just people figuring it out together. 🕙 10am–1pm 📍 East London 📅 26th October 2026 Bring your laptop, your curiosity and whatever you’re working on. Just show up.
