Network One: AI & Machine Learning Networking Birmingham Edition

Connect with AI founders, machine learning engineers, data scientists, and innovators who are building the future of artificial intelligence at this informal networking event in Birmingham. Network One is bringing together the UK's AI-curious community for an evening of genuine conversation and connection at Albert's Schloss on July 1, 2026. ## Who Should Attend? This event welcomes anyone interested in AI and machine learning, regardless of your background or experience level. Whether you're building products, conducting research, investing in startups, studying the field, or simply curious about AI's potential, you'll find like-minded people here. Expect to meet: - AI startup founders and technical co-founders - Machine learning engineers and data scientists - Creatives integrating AI into their workflows - Students studying AI or looking to break into the field - Professionals from any industry exploring AI's impact - Marketers, product managers, investors, and operators - Anyone thinking, building, or learning in this space ## Event Format This is a three-hour informal networking session designed for genuine connection—not sales pitches or presentations. The evening begins with welcome drinks (one non-alcoholic drink included) and introductions from 6:00-6:30 PM, followed by open networking until 9:00 PM. The intimate venue and limited capacity ensure every conversation matters. Network One keeps these events deliberately small to foster meaningful interactions. This isn't about collecting business cards—it's about finding collaborators, mentors, and inspiration while learning what others in the UK AI community are building and thinking about. ## Practical Details The event takes place at Albert's Schloss in Birmingham city centre (One Chamberlain Square, B3 3AX). Upon arrival, check in with the venue's receptionist who will direct you to the networking space. Dress code is startup smart or casual—wear whatever makes you comfortable. This is an 18+ event and valid ID is required. Photos may be taken during the evening; let organizers know at check-in if you'd prefer not to appear in any media. Refunds are available up to three days before the event. ## Why Join? Whether you're deep in AI development or just starting to explore its possibilities, this Birmingham edition of Network One offers a welcoming space to meet others on similar journeys.
