London Chrome Hearts and Morning Brews

Sun, Nov 1, 7:00 PM

From Classic Chrome and Coffee Social Club

We are putting together an informal morning meetup for anyone who appreciates the aesthetics and engineering of Chrome Hearts. Whether you have been collecting for years or just have an interest in the craftsmanship and history behind the brand, this is a chance to step away from the screens and connect with others in the city who share the same focus. We will be meeting at a quiet local spot in London to grab a coffee and talk shop, trade stories about favorite pieces, or simply enjoy some good company before the busyness of the weekend takes over. This gathering is open to anyone in the Classic Chrome and Coffee Social Club community, regardless of how long you have been following the brand. There is no agenda beyond a relaxed conversation and a decent cup of coffee. If you are around on Saturday morning and feel like catching up with like-minded people, we would love to see you there. Please take a moment to RSVP so we can keep an eye on the numbers and make sure we have enough space for everyone to settle in comfortably.

#5 - semiotics ideation worskhop

Sat, Oct 24, 9:30 AM

From design impact lab

4.9

**Meet likeminded UX professionals and experience a new way to ideate with a researcher at UAL.** Our next event is a bit different - one of our members, Mary, is working on her thesis project for UAL's MA in User Experience Design and is hosting a session at the university for us to try it out. She's built a card-based ideation method that uses visual symbolism and semiotics to trigger unexpected ideas - almost like tarot meets design thinking! There's also a custom AI agent she's developed that plays the role of an "idea psychic," helping you reframe problems and push past obvious solutions. She needs people to use it on a real brief so she can observe what works and what doesn't. You’ll get to try an unusual creative method and help shape a member’s research project, while also having the opportunity to meet and spend time discussing with other creatives. *** **The Details:** * **Location:** London College of Communication (UAL), Elephant & Castle, London SE1 6SB * **Capacity:** We’re keeping this to a small group to ensure everyone can connect and contribute. Please ensure your RSVP is up to date and let us know if you're unable to attend. * **What to bring:** **Bring some ID on the day for entry to UAL.** * **Vibe:** Friendly and relaxed! *** **Why Join?** If you’re a designer or researcher who wants to use your skills for more than just conversion, come say hi. It’s a chance to meet like-minded people and consider how design can solve universal human problems. **Who is this for?** Our events are for UX designers, researchers and other strategic and creative thinkers who are passionate about using their skills for social good, not just profit. Please note that this is not a networking event, or a place to find a job. **Who are the hosts?** Mary is a UX designer from Iran, currently based in London pursuing her masters in Experience Design at UAL. Max is a London based design researcher. Until recently he was based in Tokyo, where he ran a small design agency and spent over 10 years as a meetup organizer. He's exploring ways to bring designers together to use our skills to work on meaningful problems. \*This event is being advertised on multiple sites, so the actual number of attendees will be different to what appears on meetup.

Friday Strategy Board Games at the Coat and Badge, Putney

Fri, Oct 23, 5:30 PM

From West London Games Club

4.8

Strategy Board Games at the The Coat and Badge, Putney. **Is this event for you?** If you have been to a few WLGC events, or are used to playing modern board games with a significant amount of rules, then this event is for you. If not, please join us at our "Beginner Friendly" event every other week. This is an event to play Strategy games which range from medium to heavy in complexity and last 2-4 hours, depending on the game. It can take about 15-30min to teach, again depending on the complexity of the game. I usually advertise which game I am going to bring a few days in advance, as it can be helpful to at least be familiar with the rules. Other gamers may bring another selection of games, so be prepared to be surprised on the day. Here are more details specifically about the Putney events: We’re a friendly, social group that regularly play a range of board games and card games. This event has been running since June 2022 and we have a core group of regular gamers but welcome new members who are looking for a games group to play on a regular or fairly regular basis. Games we play range from, 30min - 1hour games, to the heavier 2-3hour games. We alternate the weeks we play shorter games versus the longer strategy games (check the event title for which type of games are being played). Quicker, fun, social games we play: • Just One https://youtu.be/0DDRxztfJP0?si=QPavmMFE3DFipM-x • Skull King https://youtu.be/xlFHfCqY-5Y?si=X-U1WLP5JOI0oTcB • Planted https://youtu.be/BB5mwXFPrUA?si=oLor8WTSpLUs7B12 • Project L https://youtu.be/EFV-qavWUlE?si=41_XhoZQvWs_9Zp2 • 7 Wonders https://youtu.be/z_Wfdn5Es8U?si=-L3cLo2Uppdip2ow Longer, Strategy games we play: • Lost Ruins of Arnak https://youtu.be/Kg2z4ApABY8?si=l46LNYRjQA_0QoZS • Terraforming Mars https://youtu.be/n3yVpsiVwL8?si=SW7VCdJpnqErKlIO We like to start on time but if you do arrive late, don’t worry, it may mean you have to wait a bit until the next game starts, but we always try to accommodate where we can. If it's Strategy games night, it is more important that we start on time as the games are longer and we want to finish on time. If you know you are going to be late please just let us know your eta. The event is free but please keep in mind that in order to have the space and run the event on a regular basis we need to purchase drinks/food from the venue. Also, please don’t sign up and not show up. Not only do you take up a spot for someone keen to play games but we have limited space that we need to reserve with the venue and no-shows jeopardise our relationship with the venue. Thanks for your understanding. Hope to see you at a games table!!

Hello Product People! Hope you're all well! Very, VERY excited to announce our next instalment of Product London, this time hosted by Google Cloud!! Three highly-exciting talks across the evening: **Talk 1**: **Kimoon Kim** (Customer Engineer, AI/ML Startups at Google Cloud) with 'Mastering Product Strategy: A Live Demo of Gemini Enterprise' **Synopsis**: Mastering Product Strategy: A Live Demo of Gemini Enterprise explains how to shift your product strategy from managing scattered, individual tools to building a unified, agent-driven platform. Instead of getting stuck in repetitive manual tasks across different applications, you can use this platform to bring your data and workflows together in one place. Learn how to: 1. Cut down time wasted on data integration, so your team can focus on shipping products faster. 2. Build and test new consumer experiences with confidence, backed by secure, enterprise-grade governance. 3. Transform your team's day-to-day work, helping them move from managing administrative tasks to focusing on creative, high-value problem solving. **Bio**: Kimoon Kim is a Startup Architect Lead at Google Cloud and a two-time startup founder/CTO. With 15+ years of experience across AI/ML and cloud-native systems, he helps founders turn early-stage AI prototypes into resilient, scalable production products. **Talk 2**: **Frankie Woodhead** (CPTO at Thrive) with ‘Building an AI Native learning & enablement platform for 10m+ users in 70+ countries’ **Synopsis**: Frankie will share how Thrive has grown & built a best in class product to millions of users in so many different business verticals.

It's about staying clear when your calendar is chaos, backing your own judgement under pressure, and giving your team inspiring direction to go off, even when it's chaos around you This talk isn't about frameworks. It's about the inner work that makes you genuinely effective: the confidence, presence and clarity that let you thrive as you lead teams and inspire everyone around you. **Bio**: Evie leads Product and Experimentation at New Look, bringing five years of experience as an independent product coach to her work. She’s partnered with over 100 product professionals and teams to uncover what truly drives success, and how to create meaningful, sustainable change that lasts.

Abstract Strategy Games at Otter Chaos

Sun, Oct 18, 1:00 PM

From South London Board Games

4.8

We are a casual group of abstract strategy game enthusiasts who meet roughly once a month. We always bring a selection from our own collections for anyone to try, but you are very welcome to bring your favorites too! By "abstract strategy games," we generally mean 2-player games with minimal luck and near-perfect information. Some examples are: *Hive*, *Quoridor*, the *GIPF* series, *Boop*, *Azul*, *Oware*, *Othello*, or *Onitama,* but we also have many other niche gems! We like games quick to learn and play that also scratch that puzzle-solving itch. All skill levels are welcome :) The Venue charges £5 for entry.

AI in the Wild #2: practical AI for marketing and sales

Thu, Oct 22, 5:00 PM

From AI in the Wild: Practical AI for Marketing & Business|London

5.0

Upstairs at the The Perseverance, 63 Lamb's Conduit St, London WC1N 3NB Following on from our first event in August, we'll be back for our second instalment in October. The basic premise for the event is pretty simple: We've been to a bunch of conferences where AI and its role in marketing and commercial were covered with great titles but didn't really get into the nitty-gritty of how AI was implemented, what went wrong, how they approached things, and what they would do differently. We created AI in the Wild because we wanted to put on the type of event we want to go to: informal, laid-back, and focused on the practical implementation of AI. Agenda * **Beyond the Slop: Scaling Authentic, Human-Led Video with AI (speaker Ben Moura, Screencult)** Audiences instantly spot generic "AI slop". Synthetic avatars might be quick but they erode audience trust. The true power of AI is in removing production overhead. Discover how practical AI tools enable teams to quickly and easily scale up authentic, human-led video. * **Before you build: How to get your first AI project right** Your first AI project is exciting, but setting it up for success is critical. In this session, we’ll look at how to choose the right opportunity, how to measure success, assess your data and processes, build the right team, and move from idea to a practical MVP. We’ll also cover the common pitfalls: from starting with the technology rather than the problem, to underestimating data quality, governance, integration and change management - and how to build something that delivers measurable value rather than becoming another AI Pilot failure. * **Agentic AI: More Autonomy, More Opportunity….More Risk?** Agentic AI moves us beyond simple copilots and chatbots into systems that can plan, make decisions, use tools and take actions on our behalf. That creates huge potential: faster workflows, lower operating costs, better customer experiences and teams freed from repetitive work. But as autonomy increases, so do the challenges: more integrations, more governance, greater security and compliance exposure, harder-to-predict behaviour, and potentially significant implementation and running costs. This session looks at where agentic AI can genuinely create value, how complexity changes the risk profile, and how to decide when the additional autonomy is actually worth paying for. **Agenda** 18:00 Arrive, food 18:30 Introductions 18:40 Talk one 19:10 Talk two 19:40 Talk three 20:00 Drinks and conversation 20:30 Close **Who this is for** AI in the Wild is for people in marketing and the commercial functions around it, the people expected to turn AI into revenue, efficiency or a better customer experience. You will feel at home here if you work in: * Marketing (brand, demand generation, digital, content, campaigns) * CRM, lifecycle and customer marketing * Ecommerce and digital commerce * Sales and revenue operations * Customer experience and service * Data and analytics in a commercial context * Business owners and leaders responsible for growth **Who this isn't for** We are not an engineering or machine-learning meet-up. If you want to go deep on model architecture, engineering, or building AI systems from the ground up, there are excellent London groups for that, and we'd be happy to point you to them. .

Un drink con Joe: Vieni a Conoscermi PrimaDelle Elezoioni!😏🇮🇹✨

Sun, Oct 18, 5:00 PM

From CityZen

4.4

**Ciao a tutti gli italiani di Londra! 👋** Sono Joe, uno dei candidati di **Moving Forward – Democrazia Bene Comune**, e voglio incontrarvi di persona… senza discorsi lunghi, senza noia e soprattutto **senza cravatte**! Ci vediamo per bere qualcosa insieme e fare quattro chiacchiere in totale relax: 😄 **Chiacchiere, risate e un po’ di “come funziona davvero il Comites”** spiegato in modo semplice ed energico. # Comites Londra: larga partecipazione per “Moving Forward”. Il 18 la presentazione di programma e candidat **LONDRA -verra'** presentata sabato 18 ottobre, con un largo numero di sottoscrizioni di cittadine e cittadini, la lista **“Moving Forward - Democrazia Bene Comune”** per le elezioni del **Comites di Londra** che si terranno il prossimo 4 dicembre. “Moving Forward – Democrazia Bene Comune” è una coalizione civica della comunità italiana **progressista, democratica e antifascista** nata dall’incontro di cittadini, associazioni, movimenti e partiti uniti da valori di civismo democratico, solidarietà sociale, europeismo, internazionalismo e ambientalismo e dalla convinzione che i Comites rappresentino uno strumento fondamentale di partecipazione democratica e integrazione per le comunità italiane all’estero. La lista è composta da **venti persone** con storie, competenze ed esperienze di **attivismo al servizio della comunità italiana a Londra,** nel Sud dell’Inghilterra e in Galles: artisti, ricercatrici e ricercatori, interpreti, mediatori culturali, operatori di patronato e professionisti del no profit e altri settori. Il capolista è FEDERICO VARESE , docente presso l’Università di Oxford, esperto di criminalità organizzata e corruzione. “Da oltre dieci anni Moving Forward è forza di innovazione, laboratorio di integrazione e scintilla di progresso nel Comites di Londra – tra PARTECIPANTI il presentatore della lista ed ex consigliere Andrea Pisauro e i consiglieri uscenti Anna Cambiaggi, Germana Canzi e Golam Maula Tipu -. Abbiamo difeso i diritti degli italiani e degli europei dopo la Brexit, promosso ricerche all’avanguardia sulla mobilità della comunità italiana e lavorato su temi importanti per la nostra comunità come multilinguismo, ambiente, memoria e legalità. Abbiamo portato le esigenze della comunità nelle istituzioni britanniche ed europee, con attenzione al supporto alla disabilità e al benessere psicologico delle persone che espatriano. Abbiamo lavorato duramente per un Comites più aperto, trasparente e accessibile al servizio della più grande comunità italiana in Europa.” I rappresentanti della lista hanno poi aggiunto che la loro volontà è quella di “continuare a modernizzare e rendere più solidale e inclusivo il Comites di Londra, difendendo i diritti dei cittadini per rafforzare il senso di comunità. Moving Forward per noi vuol dire andare avanti ispirandosi a valori di civismo, partecipazione e solidarietà. Democrazia Bene Comune significa prenderci cura delle istituzioni e farle funzionare per tutte e tutti, valorizzando il contributo della comunità italiana alla vita sociale, culturale ed economica del Regno Unito. Il capolista Federico Varese aggiunge che “nel futuro la lista continuerà ad interpretare il concetto di italianità in modo aperto e inclusivo e si impegnerà nell’attenzione e nella cura di connazionali, nell’ampliare i servizi consolari e aumentare i corsi di lingua e cultura”. Il 18 ottobre, alle 18.00 presso il DoubleTree Hotel di Londra, verranno presentati programma e candidati della lista. 🗳️ **Parleremo delle elezioni** e di come possiamo farci rappresentare meglio nel Regno Unito. L’idea è semplice: dopo la presentazione ci vediamo ancora nel locale, ci prendiamo un drink al banco, ci presentiamo, ci raccontiamo un po’ di vita a Londra e vediamo se vi va di sostenermi per rappresentare la nostra comunità. *(Nota: l'evento è un momento d'incontro per parlare e bere qualcosa e conoscersi, per questa presentazione siamo stati aiutati da ZEN un amico inglese e non solo che sostiene tutte le persone di buona volontà).h ttps://www.meetup.com/cityzenlondon* Niente propaganda pesante, solo buona compagnia, energia positiva e un sorriso. programma ora disponibile sul sito grazie a tutti quelli ci hanno lavorato!

Practical Philosophy Club Meetup - London 🇬🇧

Sat, Oct 17, 1:00 PM

From Practical Philosophy Club - London UK 🇬🇧

4.8

**🗂️ CONTENTS (click read more)** * Policies incl. RSVP, attendance, no-show & late policy removals. (Mandatory reading - see end) * What is Practical Philosophy Club (PPC) about? * How does it work? * General meeting agenda * FAQ (binding terms) * Optional donations * What people say about PPC * Our WhatsApp group & links to PPC worldwide **🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is an informal weekly meetup that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking, listening skills and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the meetup events comments section or the optional-to-join [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS), along with jump-off points you may wish to consider to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse, debate or lecture. **📋 GENERAL MEETING AGENDA** We start promptly. It is important everyone hears the introduction, discussion guidelines and the week’s topic jump off points, even if you’ve heard them before, but especially if you are new. RSVP on Meetup for you and any guests is mandatory. If you or any guests haven’t RSVP’d, you will be asked to do so before you join the discussion. By RSVPing to our events and attending, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to our policies & disclaimers. Each Practical Philosophy Club (PPC) meetup follows this general timeline: * 13:45–14:00 (Optional) - Early arrival for newcomers. If you would like a soft intro, time to settle in & familiarise yourself with the space, or have a casual chat beforehand to ease any nerves or just get to know other newbies, please feel free to join us early. * 14:00-14.15 - Standard arrival time. It is important that everyone arrives before (not at) 2.15pm. It’s better to arrive closer to 2pm so you can shuffle around if you want to sit at a different table to meet new faces, and do your table introductions. This is also when I check people in on the Meetup app. * 14:15-14:20 - Once everyone has been checked in on the Meetup app, we will give a short explainer on what PPC is about, read out the discussion guidelines and introduce the topic’s jump-off points provided by PPC HQ. * 14:20-15:20 - You can kick off with general thoughts on the topic and have an open discussion afterwards. Each table can refer to the ‘jump-off’ points as needed, at their pace. They are there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to use or answer them or discuss in order. * 15:20-15:30 - We sometimes take a group photo. If you don't want to be in the group photo, there's no pressure, it's just a way to close out the meeting. The host will go to the tables or announce to the gathering when the meetup has officially ended. From that point on, anyone who wishes to stay in the venue and continue discussions or attend unofficial social e.g. in a pub or park to mingle with different groups afterwards does so independently of the meetup event and understands it is no longer hosted by the Meetup event hosts. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend, and we operate on donations. If you'd like to donate to support our running costs, that helps keep our group self-sustaining. Donations are entirely 100% voluntary, but your contribution is appreciated! QR codes, provided by PPC HQ in Canada, to donate will be present. All consumables and items for purchase from any of the venues are paid by the individual should they wish to have them. **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ (Note: The answers below form a binding part of our group policies and terms of attendance).** * What is the venue like? We currently use City Lit’s ground floor spacious café. The venue is accessible, with air conditioning and bathrooms available to us. We try and sit on alternating tables so there is a table free in the middle, making it easier to hear our table mates. The café counter is closed on weekends, but the water cooler, vending machines, and bathrooms are available to us. You are welcome to bring your own, or grab a drink a nearby shop before arriving! By attending any of our Meetup’s, you agree to strictly follow the safety guidelines and emergency procedures of the venues premises. * What will we talk about? What's the topic? The topic for the week is shared every week by the PPC global organisers in the Whatsapp group (optional to join) before the session. We also try to add the topic & the jump off points to the comments section on the event page, but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp announcements-only channel](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary! This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what any academic philosopher, writer or someone in the public eye thought. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our Meetup’s is to not have dogmatic discussions, and instead to flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Our PPC meetups are attended by all genders. * Can I come alone? Of course you can :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We cannot accommodate late joiners. We have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, before the coordinator reads the discussion guidelines and jump-off points for the week’s topics. Arriving after that means joining an existing table will disrupt the flow of the conversation. We ask you do not join tables with discussions already underway, and join us another time. * Can I switch tables? When you arrive at, or before, the standard arrival time, you can change tables if you wish to meet new faces. After this, when the host starts to read the PPC discussion guidelines and topic discussion points, the tables are formed. We ask that you please remain with your table mates for the hour of discussion. Moving around between tables mid-session disrupts everyone else. Once the meetup event has officially ended, you can choose to continue your discussions afterwards to mingle with other tables and hear what they discussed. The choice is yours. All we ask is that you do not table-jump and join or disrupt other tables during the hour discussion. This is so we can delve deep into the topics without interruption. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS) group for this location. Any last minute changes to venue or any delays of hosts arrival may be posted in either the Meetup event comments or the WhatsApp announcements-only channel. If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). * Do you organise social events or drinks after the main philosophy meeting? No. The London host of PPC simply coordinates a time and public space for independent individuals to meet and discuss philosophy. The host is not a supervisor, counsellor, events manager, or caretaker. The host reads the discussion guidelines and jump-off points provided by PPC’s global organisers before discussions begin. That said, independent of the official meetup, members do often choose to stay and continue discussions afterwards and may go to the park or another venue of their choosing to socialise. * Are your discussions moderated? Discussions are not moderated. Attendees are entirely responsible for their own behaviour, safety, actions, and belongings at all times, both during the official discussion and during any unofficial casual, private social gatherings at other venues including pubs, parks and outdoor spaces afterwards. * Who is it open to? This PPC discussion group is an informal non-profit community initiative open to adults of the general public. While we require an RSVP via Meetup for logistics, please be aware that members and attendees are entirely unvetted. We do not verify identities, run background checks, or collect personal names and contact details. The club operates with zero custody or liability over its participants at any point. * What if I get offended or don’t like what I hear from another member? Philosophy involves the exploration of diverse, complex, and sometimes controversial ideas. The beauty of discussing philosophy is encountering differences of opinion and conversing respectfully when in disagreement. We do not ban members simply because another participant dislikes or disagrees with what they said. You will hear opinions that you sometimes don’t agree with. Healthy, peaceful disagreement is to be expected in philosophical discussions. We are a discussion-based community, and not a debate or argument based one so please be respectful when sharing your views, and when listening to others. The group organisers and hosts, accept no liability or responsibility for any views, opinions, arguments, or exploratory thoughts shared by any participants. Any offense, distress, or detriment caused by the words or actions of another member is strictly between the individuals involved. The organisers and hosts are not responsible for such outcomes. While we cannot and do not vet attendees in advance or control who joins, we are committed to maintaining a safe environment during our official events. If a member exhibits clear aggression, hostility, or abusive behaviour during an in-person Meetup event, and members report this to the PPC global organisers, we reserve the right to remove and permanently ban that individual from the group. We are not responsible for investigating, policing, or mediating members’ behaviour online (including on social media or messaging apps), at other independent gatherings, or during any unofficial socials held after the meetup concludes. **🛡️ Attendance Policies, Safety & Liability Disclaimer** Important Safety & Liability Information: The London Chapter of Practical Philosophy Club (PPC) is an informal, peer-to-peer community gathering hosted by volunteers.
