Lagos ZUG Meetup - Transforming Business Outcomes with Zoho CRM

AI Today: Navigating the Cultural and Technical Landscape is a Lagos-based meetup designed for practitioners, researchers, developers and curious community members who want to cut through AI hype and have a grounded, useful conversation about what AI is really changing in our work, learning, creation, and online interactions. Scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2026 at 4:00 PM, this in-person gathering brings together local voices building AI systems to discuss the practical realities, ethical trade-offs, and social impacts of AI across different regions and communities. Expect a candid, inclusive space where attendees share real-world experiences—what’s working, what isn’t, and what we should be cautious about as AI becomes more embedded in everyday life. The aim is not just to listen, but to spark thoughtful dialogue, with opportunities for Q&A, small-group discussions, and peer learning. If you’re curious about AI beyond the hype and want to hear from those shaping AI in diverse contexts, this space is for you. Attendees should come prepared to engage in practical conversation, share lessons learned, and explore how AI is influencing business, education, culture, and governance in Lagos and beyond. This event is organized by the PyData Lagos community, a space for developers, data scientists and AI enthusiasts to exchange ideas, showcase projects, and learn from one another. For those exploring no-code/low-code experimentation or AI-enabled workflows, the session offers context on what tools and approaches are gaining traction in real-world settings. Registration is via the Meetup page, and you can discover more about AI events in Lagos or related automation and AI topics through our broader directory and city pages.
