Chiang Mai in brief

AI & No-Code Events in Chiang Mai, October 2026

Chiang Mai’s October calendar is focused on hands-on AI engineering and specialist research. AI Engineers Weekly Chiang Mai meets at The Kannas Hotel on 17 October, then returns to the same venue on 24 October. The recurring format gives local builders two chances to connect with others working on AI products, agents and software.

Between those meetups, the International Conference on AI and Data Science Applications in Bioinformatics 2026 takes place on 22 October, bringing a research-focused event to the month’s line-up. That mix makes October particularly relevant for engineers shipping projects, technical founders looking for peers, and researchers interested in the application of AI and data science to bioinformatics.

The programme continues into November with the Chiang Mai SEO Conference from 9 November and the AI Business-Focused Weekly Chiang Mai at 4Seas Nimman on 11 November. These upcoming dates broaden the calendar beyond engineering, with options for people focused on search, commercial applications and the business side of AI.

Chiang Mai

The International Conference on AI and Data Science Applications in Bioinformatics takes place in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on 22–23 October 2026. It focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, data science and bioinformatics. About the conference This two-day conference offers a focused setting for exploring how computational approaches connect with biological information and bioinformatics applications. Its central theme brings together three rapidly developing fields: AI, data science and bioinformatics. For attendees working across disciplinary boundaries, the event provides an opportunity to engage with a subject area that combines intelligent systems and data-led methods with biological research. The conference will be particularly relevant to: - AI and data science researchers interested in bioinformatics applications - Bioinformatics professionals exploring computational and intelligent approaches - Academics and students working across computer science, biology or related disciplines - Practitioners following developments at the intersection of AI and biological data - Organisations assessing the relevance of AI and data science to bioinformatics work Event details - Dates: Thursday 22 October to Friday 23 October 2026 - Location: Chiang Mai, Thailand - Format: Two-day international conference - Core subject: AI and data science applications in bioinformatics The interdisciplinary focus is what distinguishes this event. Rather than addressing artificial intelligence as a broad standalone topic, the conference centres specifically on its relationship with data science and bioinformatics. This makes it a potentially useful date for attendees seeking a specialised conference rather than a general overview of AI. The available event listing does not currently identify individual speakers, a session-by-session agenda, the precise venue, ticket categories or submission requirements. Prospective attendees should consult the official listing for the latest programme and participation information before making travel arrangements.

Chiang Mai · The Kannas Hotel

Hosted by Marcus S. and nick f.

AI Engineers Weekly Chiang Mai is a coffee meetup for coders exploring current AI technology, held on 24 October 2026 from 10:00–12:00 ICT at The Kannas Hotel. Explore the latest AI technology with fellow coders This informal Saturday meetup creates a regular space for developers to examine the latest AI technology of the week, discuss what is changing and experiment with it together. Rather than following a fixed lecture programme, the session centres on shared exploration: attendees can raise new developments, compare perspectives and play around with emerging technology in the company of other AI-minded builders. The meetup is part of a weekly series taking place every Saturday until 1 January 2027. That recurring format makes it suitable both for visitors who want to attend a single session and local developers looking for an ongoing community in Chiang Mai. What to expect The two-hour format combines coffee, technical conversation and practical experimentation. The stated focus is to: - Check out noteworthy AI technology from the preceding week - Discuss new developments with other coders - Experiment with the technology during the meetup - Learn through the knowledge and experience of fellow attendees There is also room to bring along and demonstrate something relevant. If you plan to use your computer for a demo or hands-on exploration, arrive with it fully charged: the venue does not provide charging facilities. Who is it for? Coders of all experience levels are welcome. You do not need to be an established AI engineer to take part; the organisers emphasise learning from one another. The meetup should particularly appeal to developers, technical makers and curious programmers who want a conversational, community-led way to keep up with fast-moving AI technology. Hosted by Marcus S. and nick f., the session is organised through the AI Engineers in Thailand group. Marcus is identified by Meetup as a Super Organizer.
