Generative Series: AI, Art & Culture returns to the LINE Hotel DC for AI & Restaurants, a live conversation-and-tasting event on Sunday, October 25th from 2-4pm. We're here to ask what happens when artificial intelligence meets the restaurant industry — from Michelin-level molecular gastronomy and AI-driven recipe creation to how fast-casual kitchens are cutting waste and cost. We're bringing together chefs, technologists, journalists and academics for a live conversation and tasting on how AI is reshaping food, from the kitchen to the table. This isn't just a conversation about operations. We're digging into what these shifts mean for the guest experience itself — how AI is changing the way people discover, order, and even taste food. On stage: Anna Spiegel, Axios D.C.'s food, lifestyle and city reporter and former Washingtonian food editor for a decade bringing her eye for the local restaurant and hospitality scene to the conversation Andy Brown, founder of Andy's Pizza, live-demoing a piece of kitchen hardware he invented himself — a vacuum-based dough-shaping mechanism he 3D-printed and then used generative AI to redesign, growing its working dimensions by 21%. He's bringing the actual hardware and AI software to walk the room through how it works. A food-tech platform voice and an academic/industry voice, rounding out a panel built to cover the technology, the industry, and the culture all at once Expect a curated, conversation-forward crowd, a working demo you won't see anywhere else in DC, and tastings that only come from mixing Michelin-trained chefs with machine learning. Space is limited — RSVP to save your seat.

On election eve, we're talking about a different kind of choice. Three Israelis who switched into AI security and now work in the field full-time, from abroad, share their careers and their choices: how they got in, why they bet on it, and what they'd do now if they were in your shoes. Speakers Asher Brass Gershovich, AI Security Researcher at RAND Before RAND, Asher was a Senior Researcher on the compute policy team at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy (IAPS), and Head of the Cyber Analysis Team at Cynerio. He served as a cybersecurity officer in Unit 8200 and as a Senior Technological Researcher at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office. Asher is also a co-founder of Heron AI Security. Guy P., Member of Technical Staff at the Security Level 5 Task Force Before SL5, Guy worked as an HPC chip engineer, vulnerability researcher and R&D project lead. He also wrote a musical about AI, Out of This Box: The Last Musical (Written by Humans). Ariel Gil, Senior Research Manager at Pivotal Research Ariel co-founded and co-led the AI Standards Lab, which helped shape the EU AI Act implementation and the EU GPAI Code of Practice. Before that, he was a mechatronics engineer in ophthalmic surgery robotics. Who it's for People with at least 5 years of experience in cybersecurity or ML who are transitioning into AI security, or seriously considering it. Please note: Spots are limited. We'll approve the participants we think will get the most value from the evening.

Hvordan kan vi skape mer effektive og bærekraftige verdikjeder i en verden i endring? Handelshøyskolen BI inviterer 27. oktober til AMOR-konferansen 2026, der forskere, næringslivsledere og beslutningstakere møtes for å diskutere utfordringer og forskningsbaserte løsninger.

Los agentes de IA ya descubren productos, comparan opciones y completan compras en nombre de las personas, y con eso aparece un canal de venta donde la decisión se toma, muchas veces, antes de que la marca vea al cliente. Stripe ha estado construyendo la infraestructura para ese escenario: co-desarrolló con OpenAI el Agentic Commerce Protocol, el estándar abierto detrás de Instant Checkout en ChatGPT, y amplió su Agentic Commerce Suite mediante alianzas con Meta y Google. En este panel, Stripe y Vambe conversan sobre qué significa para una empresa estar lista para vender a través de agentes, cómo una intención de compra que nace en una conversación se convierte en una transacción segura, y qué pueden hacer hoy las marcas en México para capturar este canal sin perder confianza ni control sobre la relación con sus clientes. Panelistas Nicolás Camhi, CEO y cofundador de Vambe, el sistema de trabajo para marketing, ventas y postventa con IA proactiva y omnicanal, que suma más de 2.500 implementaciones en Chile, México y Brasil, respaldado por Monashees. Antonio Fernández Salgado, Head of Sales México en Stripe. Antes fue Enterprise Sales Account Executive en la misma compañía y pasó por Sprinklr, Oracle, Accenture y Yahoo!

Founder Talk: Drei Gründer, drei Wege Du wolltest schon immer wissen, wie man sich selbstständig macht und wann der richtige Moment ist, ein startup zu gründen? Beim Founder Talk bringen LAUNCH Rhein-Main und der Founders Club Frankfurt drei Gründer zusammen, die darauf drei völlig unterschiedliche Antworten gefunden haben. Samuel Kutger (Founder emsbo, Forbes 30 under 30) zog mit 13 vor Gericht, um überhaupt gründen zu dürfen. David Döbele (Founder pumpkincareers) gründete direkt nach seinem Bachelor Studium um tausenden Studierenden beim Einstieg in ihren Traumberuf zu helfen. Dr. Tim Felten (Founder LIO Consulting) promovierte in theoretischer Plasmaphysik, beriet sechs Jahre bei Roland Berger und gründete erst danach. Direkt aus der Schule, direkt nach dem Bachelor, nach Promotion und Beratungskarriere: Den einen richtigen Zeitpunkt gibt es nicht. Aber es gibt drei ehrliche Geschichten darüber, wie es wirklich ist, anzufangen.

AKA Wine & Vibe Coding Build & Sip: Vibe Coding for Women + Non-Binary Builders Thursday 29 October | Stone & Chalk Sydney Every attendee gets a full month of Claude Max, Anthropic’s top tier plan, free for the day. It’s what you’ll build with for the three hours, and it’s yours to keep using once the event wraps. Three hours, real builders in the room, your rough idea turned into something that actually works by the end of it. This one’s for women and non-binary folks who’ve been meaning to get hands-on with AI but haven’t had the entry point, the time, or frankly, the wine. No tech background needed. Bring a laptop, an idea (rough is fine), and a willingness to build before you feel ready. Here’s how the three hours work. You’ll build with Claude Code, which is where the thinking happens: shaping the rough idea into something real, writing the copy, generating the thing itself. Then you’ll use OhhWells to get it live and looking like yours rather than like every other AI build. Most people can get a site up now. Getting one that doesn’t look generic is the part nobody teaches you. Your build could be a landing page. A waitlist page. A simple internal tool. A booking form. A quiz that routes people to the right offer. An MVP for the app idea you’ve been sitting on. The site for the thing you’ve been explaining to people verbally for six months. Something the dev team would put in a backlog until 2029. What you’ll need A laptop An idea, rough is fine You’ll walk out with A working prototype, built by you Prompts and vibe-coding resources you can use again tomorrow A free month of Claude Max to keep building after the event Free OhhWells credits and their prompt playbook to keep building afterwards Help planning, prompting, testing, and refining A chance to demo what you built Wine, because courage What you’ll need A laptop An idea, rough is fine Come with an idea. We’ll help you plan it, build it, and demo it. Staying for the evening? We’re running a second event in

El Foro de Inversión Healthcare Barcelona reunirá el 29 de octubre a startups, proyectos biomédicos e inversores para impulsar la financiación y la transferencia de innovación en salud.

2026 was the year everything shifted. But a year of rapid change also brings hard questions. How do we architect systems that leverage AI without becoming dependent on it? What did we learn about testing, reliability, and maintainability when iteration cycles compress? How do we hire and structure engineering teams when the nature of the work itself is changing? At Raycast, Linear, and Mistral, we’ve been shipping products that would have been impossible a year ago. We’ve rethought our infrastructure. We’ve experimented with new workflows. We’ve hit unexpected walls and learned from them. And we’re still learning. It’s a conversation between engineers about what we’ve actually discovered: the architectural decisions that worked, the ones that didn’t, and the gaps we’re still trying to fill. More importantly, it’s about what we’re building toward in 2027. We’re still figuring it out. And we want to figure it out together. Speakers Thomas Paul Mann, CEO and Co-founder @ Raycast Tuomas Artman, CTO and Co-founder @ Linear Théo Carrive, VP Engineering @ Mistral Moderated by Tanguy Le Stradic, CPO @ Evy Agenda Doors open at 6pm Conversation starts promptly at 6:30pm

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude! Talk first, build next Claude Conversations runs as a pair of events. The talk was on Thursday 17 September, when people who use Claude all day sat beside people who are mainly just uneasy about it and worked through three questions: what does AI mean for my job, what is AI doing to me, my kids and my community, and who decides the rules. This is the build. We're going back through everything that came up and pulling out the problems people actually named, the ones concrete enough to build against. Those become the briefs, and they'll be posted on this page ahead of the day. Each team picks one and spends the evening building something with Claude Code that takes a real swing at it. How the evening runs Doors open at 17:00. Come with a team of up to five, or come on your own and we'll put you with people when you arrive. Teams pick a brief and build until demos start at around 20:00, with pizza in the middle so nobody has to down tools for long. Every team then gets a few minutes to show what it built, running live, and the winners are announced before we finish at 21:00. Credits, prizes and judging Every participant gets $100 in Claude API credits, and the winning team takes the prizes, including a month of Claude Max 20x for each member. Builds are judged on how directly they take on the problem they picked, whether they actually work when shown live, and whether someone could realistically pick them up and use them after the night. Who it is for People who already code with Claude Code. Four hours goes quickly and there's no time to learn the tool on the night, so you should be comfortable building and shipping with it before you arrive. If you're new to Claude Code, this isn't the one to start with. Before you come Bring a laptop with Claude Code installed and working, and your charger. The API credits attach to an organisation in the Claude Console (consol

Join us for Frankfurt Build Day with GrokBot, Glassflow at AI Week! A working session for founders, builders, and operators who want to ship — not just talk about shipping. Cohosted with AI Week for a larger Frankfurt audience (goal up to ~500 vs our usual ~100) — more builders, more energy, more shipping. Presented by Build Days & our community sponsors: SpaceXAI & Glassflow. This is not a conference or meetup. Build Days is part of our ongoing events to create time, space, and community to build and win. If you’re in Frankfurt and you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start (or finish) something — this is it. It’s a room full of people who actually build things, working alongside each other with mentors in the room to unblock you when you get stuck. Bring your laptop, your project, and whatever you’ve been putting off. Leave with momentum. When: Friday, October 30, 2026 — doors 9:45am, program from ~10:00am (Europe/Berlin) Where: The Squaire, Frankfurt What you get, if you show up (FREE - valued over $50) Grokbot credits ($50) and Grokbot merch (~$50+) A room of builders — founders, operators, and makers who are in the trenches with you Hands-on support — mentors on hand to help you move your project forward Want all 5 other tools & credits? (FREE - valued over $150 ) bring a friend ... or 5 friends: for each friend you bring, you each get access to 1 more tool. you + 1 friend = 2 tools, you + 2 friends = 3 tools, etc. ... or stay the whole period.

We have builders here in Frankfurt. Who it’s for: Founders, b

A fireside conversation with astronaut and MIT professor Jeffrey Hoffman | Sponsored by Tanner Five Space Shuttle missions. Four spacewalks. The first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission. And decades later, a role helping lead MOXIE, the first technology demonstration to produce oxygen from the atmosphere of another planet. During Utah Hard Tech Week, astronaut and MIT professor Jeffrey Hoffman joins OxEon Energy for a conversation about what it takes to turn ambitious engineering into technology that works. We’ll talk about lessons from human spaceflight, the development and success of MOXIE on Mars, OxEon’s role in that mission, and what it takes to move breakthrough technologies from first-of-a-kind demonstrations toward real-world scale. Following the conversation and audience Q&A, guests will have the opportunity to tour OxEon Energy and see where fuel and energy technologies are being developed and scaled today. Registration opens at 9am Fireside Chat • Audience Q&A • Facility Tour

What can writing about your development work do for your tech career? Most developers do not think of themselves as writers, but writing can be a powerful way to strengthen your skills and grow professionally. A dev blog is not about becoming an internet-famous thought leader. Writing helps you think through problems, remember what you have learned, and become better at your work. Our guest speaker, Rachel Kaufman, is a full-stack software engineer in the martech space. She will share why writing and learning in public can be valuable for developers at any stage of their careers. She is also a lead organizer with Women and Gender eXpansive Coders DC, where she helps create technical workshops and networking opportunities for women and nonbinary people in tech. In this live session, Rachel will break down the practical benefits of keeping a dev blog and walk through different ways to get started. She will cover the logistics of writing and publishing, along with how documenting your work can help you think more clearly, retain what you learn, and strengthen your development skills. You will leave with a better understanding of how writing can support your growth as a developer and practical ideas for starting a dev blog of your own. Most importantly, you will see how writing can be useful for learning and improving your work, not simply building an online presence. Bring your questions and your ideas! Follow along with Rachel as she shares practical ways to start writing and learning in public, and think about what you could document from your own development journey. Join us on Friday\, October 30 at 1 PM PT \| 3 PM CT \| 4 PM ET and save your spot now to discover how a dev blog can become a valuable part of your career.
