AISAT is run by volunteers. The organisers below find the venues, chase the speakers, read every membership application and moderate the WhatsApp group, around day jobs that mostly involve building the same things you do.

Lyrics: AI SAT Rap

  1. step into the AI room
  2. strategy automation transformation is here
  3. we put the AI to work
  4. london and leeds meetups appear
  5. building tools that shape the earth
  6. demos break we do not care
  7. candid talks off record share
  8. women that use AI lead
  9. practitioners fulfill the local need
  10. welcome to AI SAT
  11. engineers and founders chat
  12. skip the future keynotes
  13. ship code take notes
  14. directory shows real facts
  15. no false bio acts
  16. threads up every day
  17. we will lead the way
  18. whatsapp group pinging day and night
  19. online meetups keep the vision bright
  20. inference costs and long procurement time
  21. we discuss it all in this rhyme
  22. demos break we do not care
  23. candid talks off record share
  24. women that use AI lead
  25. practitioners fulfill the local need
  26. welcome to AI SAT
  27. engineers and founders chat
  28. skip the future keynotes
  29. ship code take notes
  30. directory shows real facts
  31. no false bio acts
  32. threads up every day
  33. we will lead the way
  34. product managers and operations leads
  35. we focus on community needs
  36. uniting builders across the land
  37. with automation tools in hand
  38. no prospects allowed to work rooms
  39. only real projects in full blooms
  40. welcome to AI SAT
  41. engineers and founders chat
  42. skip the future keynotes
  43. ship code take notes
  44. directory shows real facts
  45. no false bio acts
  46. threads up every day
  47. we will lead the way

    I build AI tools that cut operational costs.

  • London Community Lead / Organiser

    Andrew Knowles

    Founder, Knowles Recruitment

    LinkedInWebsite

    Andrew is a specialist recruiter focused on AI, software engineering and the people building and leading AI transformation. He spends much of his time speaking with AI leaders, engineers and businesses about where the market is heading, what skills are actually in demand and how organisations are turning AI into something useful. Corner him at a meetup if you want to talk AI talent, hiring trends, community building or simply compare notes on what’s happening in the market.

  • Online Community Organiser

    Colin Kelly

    Independent AI Advisor, Agathon

    LinkedInWebsite

    Colin runs Agathon, an independent AI advisory practice in London: judgement for expensive, hard-to-reverse decisions. Most of his work is technical due diligence for acquirers, investors and boards asking whether the AI under a valuation is real — reproducing the headline result the deal rests on, with a mandate to falsify rather than confirm. The rest is advisory, from which claims to trust to fractional CTO work. Corner him if you want to know whether an AI claim holds up.

  • Organiser, London and Malta

    Ted Stroud

    Chief AI Strategy Officer

    LinkedInWebsite

    Ted helps companies plan and deploy their AI strategy, guiding them on which use cases will bring real ROI and time savings. That runs from large GPU cluster design and deployment through to agentic workflows across a business.

Where we meet

Come to a meetup

Every chapter is hosted by its own organisers, and turning up is the fastest way to meet them. Dates and registration for each one live on its own page.

Get involved

Fancy helping run one?

Chapters are always short of co-organisers, and if you want to start one in another UK city, that conversation starts with an email. You do not need event-management experience. You need to turn up reliably and care about the quality of the room.
