Hosted by Brighton Data Intelligence Network

A free data and enterprise AI meetup in Brighton on 12 November 2026, with a practitioner talk, networking and refreshments. From AI prototype to production BrightonPy & Brighton R brings together data professionals, developers and curious newcomers to exchange practical knowledge and build relationships across the local data community. This edition’s featured speaker is Jeff Magloire of BridgeLytic Capital, presenting “What Enterprise AI Product Teams Learn After the Demo.” The talk tackles the difficult stage that begins once an enterprise AI prototype works. Rather than offering broad predictions about AI, Jeff will use concrete product examples to explore the decisions teams face when turning a promising demo into a dependable part of everyday work. Topics include choosing suitable use cases, deciding what evidence is sufficient, placing human review, designing access and governance, evaluating results and measuring whether users genuinely change their workflows. Attendees will leave with: - A checklist for moving an AI prototype towards production - A method for balancing quality, risk and speed - An adoption scorecard focused on changed work rather than novelty Who should attend? The session is designed for a practitioner audience and is relevant to AI product teams, data scientists, Python and R users, analysts, technical leaders and anyone involved in deploying data products. The wider meetup welcomes all experience levels, from people taking their first steps in data to seasoned experts looking to compare approaches and learn from peers. This event forms part of the Brighton Data Intelligence Network, a programme of six Brighton meetups each year anchored by the annual EARL Data Intelligence Conference. It is hosted by Datacove, a Brighton-based team specialising in R, Python and Shiny, and supported by Silicon Brighton, Barclays Eagle Labs and Platf9rm Brighton.

⌖ Brighton · The Walrus

Hosted by BRIGHTHINK

Explore the history of brain-machine technology with author Mike Jay at The Walrus in Brighton on 19 November 2026. From speculative fiction to Neuralink As humanity and technology become increasingly interwoven, WIREHEADS: An Unnatural History of Technology in the Brain examines the most intimate frontier of all: attempts to connect machines directly with the human mind. Acclaimed Psychonauts author Mike Jay will trace the tangled history of the electronic devices, magnetic signals, implants and computer interfaces designed, or imagined, to enhance, control and rewire the brain. His account brings together mavericks and scientists, crackpots and artistic visionaries, showing how ideas once confined to speculative fiction have informed real experiments and contemporary technology. The talk will move across subjects including: - The brain technologies imagined by H. G. Wells and Philip K. Dick - Simulated realities represented in The Matrix - The CIA’s Cold War experiments and covert military operations - Psychedelic art, moral philosophy and cybernetic theory - Elon Musk’s Neuralink and the pursuit of neural enhancement - Questions of artificial bliss, behavioural control and connection to higher intelligence At its heart, the evening asks whether brain-machine interfaces might eventually direct our thoughts and behaviour, or whether technology is already doing so. It will also consider what these efforts to understand and modify the brain reveal about being human in a potentially post-human age. Talk format and audience Q&A Presented by BRIGHTHINK as part of its In Conversation series, this is a 90-minute, in-person event combining a live talk with an audience Q&A. It should appeal to anyone interested in AI, neuroscience, cybernetics, technology history, speculative fiction, psychedelia, philosophy or the social consequences of human-machine integration. Doors open at 7pm, the event begins at 7:30pm, and the audience Q&A is scheduled for 8:30pm. The venue is The Walrus, 10 Ship Street, Brighton and Hove, BN1 1AD. Attendees under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Refunds are available up to five days before the event. Get tickets for WIREHEADS
