Folkestone AI meet up

£0.00

Thursday 10 September

7:30pm

It's the first one. Everybody walking in will be new.

Is this for me?

Almost certainly, yes, and you do not need to be technical. Not a bit, not secretly, not "well, I did a course once".

FAM is for everybody, but specially for people who make things: illustrators, filmmakers, producers, sound people, designers, writers, anybody working in or around the creative industries that have suddenly got a lot to argue about. You do not need to understand how any of this works to have a useful opinion about what it is doing to your work, and the people who do understand how it works are, on the whole, keen to explain it to you at the bar.

Some people coming are excited about all of it. Some are angry about all of it. Quite a few will be both, on the same evening, about the same thing. All of that is welcome, so long as you extend the same patience to the person standing next to you that you would want extended to you.

Nobody is selling anything from the front. There is no recruiter working the room and no pitch at the end. It is a room, some chairs, a projector and a bar.

And since this is the very first one: there is no in-crowd to be outside of. Everybody there will be working out what it is at the same time you are.

If it helps to know where the line is before you come: read the code of conduct. It is short and we mean it.
