Nottingham DS&AI Meetup

Join Nottingham's thriving AI and data science community for an evening of learning, collaboration, and pizza at Nottingham Trent University's Newton Building. The Nottingham DS&AI Meetup brings together practitioners, researchers, and enthusiasts every first Thursday of the month to explore the latest developments in artificial intelligence and data science. ## What to Expect Doors open at 18:00, with the main session kicking off at 18:15 and running until 20:30 BST. This month's speaker or workshop topic will be announced closer to the date, so keep an eye on the event page for updates. Whether you're a seasoned data scientist, an AI engineer, or simply curious about machine learning and automation, these sessions are designed to be accessible and engaging for a range of skill levels. Following the formal presentation, you'll have plenty of time to network with fellow attendees, share ideas, and discuss real-world applications of AI. Many participants continue the conversation at a nearby pub after the event wraps up, making it a great opportunity to build lasting connections in Nottingham's tech scene. ## Who Should Attend This meetup is ideal for data scientists, machine learning engineers, AI researchers, software developers, and business leaders interested in understanding how AI is transforming industries. Whether you're looking to stay current with cutting-edge techniques, explore practical use cases, or simply meet like-minded people, the Nottingham DS&AI Meetup offers a welcoming environment for all levels of expertise. ## Event Format The meetup follows a tried-and-tested format: a speaker session or hands-on workshop, followed by informal networking. Pizza is provided (courtesy of the event sponsors), but bring your own drink. The organisers also run a Discord community where you can continue discussions, share resources, and stay connected between monthly meetups. Please note that while events are typically held in the Newton Building at Nottingham Trent University's City Campus, the specific room may vary — check the event listing for confirmation. Photos are taken during the event for promotional purposes; if you prefer not to appear in any images, just let one of the organisers know. ## Sponsors and Community Partners The Nottingham DS&AI Meetup is supported by a range of local organisations committed to advancing technology and innovation.
