AISATAI Strategy, Automation & Transformation
Practitioner meetups in London, Leeds and online, plus our Women that Use AI chapter, and an AI Directory of the members and companies doing the work.
Membership is free and by application. You apply with your LinkedIn, an organiser reads it, and approved members get the WhatsApp invite. Every meetup is free, and places are held for members.
London, Leeds and online.
Our chapter for women working with AI.
The members and companies doing the work.
What’s on
Talks from people who have actually shipped the thing, demos that are allowed to break, and a long enough break in the middle to genuinely talk to someone.
AI SAT Leeds: our first Yorkshire meetup
AISAT London - our second meeting
This week’s roundup
What happened, what it means for people putting AI to work in the UK, and the primary source behind every claim.
Covering 21 to 27 September 2026
AI agent governance got its own product announcement this week, as Dataiku, Microsoft and Google pushed agents further. Voice prices fell and Anthropic lost in a US court.
Chapters
Same standard of conversation in all four. What changes is the city, the size of the room and who is in it. You are welcome at every one of them; this is how to pick the one to start with.
Our biggest chapter. Practitioner talks, demos and an unusually good room to ask hard questions in.
The northern home of AISAT. Same format, smaller room, and you will actually meet everyone.
For everyone outside London and Leeds. Shorter, sharper sessions you can join from anywhere.
A chapter centring women working with AI: its own events, its own speakers, and a deliberately supportive room. Open to everyone.
Membership
AISAT is a vetted community, which is the whole reason the room is any good. Every application is read by an organiser before anyone is let in. Here is the entire process.
Step 01
One short form. Your LinkedIn saves you writing a covering letter: it tells us what you build and who you build it for.
Step 02
A person, not a filter. Most applications are approved the same day. Around meetup weeks and holidays it can take a day or two.
Step 03
Approved members are sent the invite to the AISAT WhatsApp group, where dates, questions and the odd job lead land first.
Step 04
Optional, and the part that keeps paying off. List yourself or your company against what you actually do, so the rest of the community can find you.
Applying takes about three minutes. The AI Directory and the chapter pages are public, so you can have a proper look around first and decide afterwards.

A list of names is only useful to people who already know the name. So every listing is tagged on three axes (capability, sector and stack), and the directory answers the question someone actually has: who here has shipped RAG in financial services? Members add themselves or their company, and the tags are what keeps the whole thing worth searching as it grows.
The work you do, and would happily be phoned about.
Industries you have genuinely delivered in, not just pitched to.
The tools and platforms you are in every day.
