Founders & Researchers Workshop


This four session, in-person workshop series brings together founders who have launched AI products, with researchers at the frontier of AI. During the workshop they will share what they are working on, the problems they are trying to address and future trends that are on their radar.

When? 

Wednesday 23 September, 4pm for 5pm start

Wednesday 21 October, 4pm for 5pm start

Wednesday 18 November, 4pm for 5pm start

Wednesday 20 January, 4pm for 5pm start

Who are they for?

Places are limited. We are looking for a small, committed cohort of: 

  • Researchers & academics - Open to all career stages, including postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. If you are interested in commercialisation and how your work might land in the world, this is the place. 

  • Founders - founders who have launched AI products that generate revenue who can talk in depth about the underlying machine learning models and technical nuances behind a product 

Where?

Every session is in person at the UCL Centre for AI in Holborn, central London.

How each session runs 

  • Participant led: No tutorials. No curriculum.  Every session is shaped by technical founders and researchers and their specific experiences

  • This will be a "pitch free" workshop, no specific product idea needed to take part 

  • Monthly workshops: small group sessions. Enough time to build genuine intellectual connection 

  • Social by design:  every session is followed with time to continue the conversation informally 

We welcome academics at all stages of their career. The workshop will be delivered at a venue in central London. Each session runs from 5pm–7pm, with a social beforehand which starts at 4pm.

Who’s organising these sessions? 

The workshop is a collaboration between the AI Hub in Generative Models, UCL Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Martin Goodson (Evolution AI) and Magda Woods (And The Robots).
