CloudWize brings bigger AI Chat Club to Leeds

Following a successful launch and growing momentum in the region, the new and improved event will bring together technology leaders, AI specialists, business decision-makers, and curious newcomers for an evening of insight, innovation, and open conversation.

‍

Now hosted at The Cinema, Department – CloudWize’s new Leeds base – ‘AI Chat Club 2.0’ will build on the foundations of its previous gatherings while introducing several new features designed to elevate the experience.

‍

Visitors can expect:

‍

• Live demonstrations of emerging AI products and technologies – including never before seen solutions
• Expert-led panel discussions exploring real-world problem solving within AI implementations
• Insights from experienced speakers across the AI and wider tech ecosystem
• Informal, judgement-free networking with peers from across the region

‍

The event continues to prioritise authentic discussion over sales-driven presentations, creating space for honest dialogue about the opportunities and challenges AI presents for organisations of all sizes.

‍

AI Chat Club was originally created to support the region’s growing appetite for practical, open conversations around artificial intelligence – offering a welcoming, after-work environment where professionals could explore AI beyond the hype. As interest in AI adoption continues to accelerate, the event has evolved with the region’s expanding and increasingly ambitious tech community.

‍

CloudWize’s recent expansion into Leeds reflects the growing demand for AI expertise and digital transformation support across the North. The move has positioned the company at the heart of one of the UK’s fastest-growing technology ecosystems.

‍

Commenting on the recent developments, Ed Humphrey, CEO at CloudWize, said: “The North has an incredibly strong and collaborative tech community, and we’re seeing real momentum when it comes to AI innovation and adoption. Leeds, in particular, has become a hub for ambitious businesses who want to explore AI in a practical, meaningful way.

‍

“AI Chat Club is about bringing those people together – from seasoned AI practitioners to those just starting their journey – and giving them a space to learn from one another.

‍

“With AI Chat Club 2.0, we’re scaling up to match the ambition we’re seeing across the North. The move to The Cinema at Department gives us the perfect setting to grow the community even further.”

‍

More details on speakers, product demonstrations, and panel contributors will be announced in the coming weeks.

‍

Registration for AI Chat Club 2.0 is now open, with limited spaces available.
