📍 1 Triton Square, London NW1 3BF
Join us for a rare look inside the UK's AI research ecosystem, hearing directly from the researchers and founders working on technologies that are only just beginning to leave the lab. In partnership with AIR, a launchpad for ambitious AI startups emerging from university research, we'll bring together researchers, founders, investors, and industry leaders for a behind-the-scenes look at what is happening inside some of the UK's leading AI labs and universities.
Before technologies become products, startups, or headlines, they begin as research breakthroughs. This event offers an opportunity to hear directly from the people developing them. Through a panel discussion, startup showcases, and lightning talks the event will explore how promising research is being translated into real-world applications, what it takes to move from lab to launch, and where the most exciting opportunities in AI are emerging.Whether you're building, investing, researching, or simply curious about what's coming next, this is your chance to connect with the people shaping the future of AI in the UK!
