AI on Tap: Real AI. Real People. Real Beer.
📍 Brighton’s monthly meetup for AI-curious business minds
Cut through the AI noise – over a pint.
Tired of AI hype and jargon? So are we.
AI on Tap is a no-BS meetup for Brighton’s business leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, and knowledge workers who want to understand how AI is actually being used in the real world – without needing a computer science degree.
No pitches. No slides. No tech bro talk.
Your ticket = your bar tab
The ÂŁ15 ticket price goes straight onto your tab at the bar. That’s right – your ticket IS your drinks. No extra cost, just show up and start sipping.
What to Expect
Imagine a night down the pub with those mates of yours who’re actually doing AI – not just talking about it. You’ll meet leaders and technologists from Brighton’s business community who are in the trenches every day, putting AI to work.
They’ve seen what works and how to make it happen; what flops and how to avoid it. Now they’re here to share – pint in hand.
🎯 "Pick a Problem" panel discussion
Before the event, you’ll have the chance to submit your thorniest AI challenge – then vote on which problems the room tackles first. Our expert panel will dig into the top-voted challenges live on the night, share what they’ve seen work (and fail), and give you practical next steps.
Your problems. Honest answers. Usable solutions.
🏆 "Wins & Bins" lightning round
Got an AI gem that’s saving you hours? A tool that actually delivers? We’ll pass the mic around for quick-fire tips from the room – the stuff that’s working (or what to avoid), shared by the people using it.
Two minutes, one tip, everyone learns.
🤝 "Sip Sync" one-on-ones
Want a guaranteed chat with one of our expert hosts? No awkward hovering required. Book a 5-minute slot on the night, grab a drink, and talk through your AI challenges – see if there’s a fit to keep the conversation going.
Totally optional, zero pressure, pint in hand.
What You'll Walk Away With
Stories from the trenches
Hear from local leaders actually using AI – from streamlining operations to scaling sales. What’s working, what’s not, and what they’d do differently.
Ideas you can use tomorrow
Practical stuff you can immediately try in your own business – no fluff, just value.
People who get it
Like-minded professionals navigating the same AI questions and challenges. Share what you’ve tried, ask what you’re stuck on, and figure it out together.
Great beer and a relaxed vibe
The Walrus specialises in exceptional lagers and craft beer. Grab a pint and settle in for an evening of laid-back, intelligent conversation.
Who's It For?
Whether you’re leading a team or just getting curious, if you want to understand AI’s real-world impact, you’re welcome here:
- Business leaders trying to make sense of AI’s potential
- Managers exploring tools to improve productivity
- Founders and entrepreneurs experimenting with AI
- Knowledge workers who want to stay relevant
- Anyone interested in practical, human-first AI conversations
No technical background required – we speak human, not code.

Why We’re Doing This
We believe that businesses using AI will replace those that don’t – and the ones that thrive will be the ones that learn fast, adapt faster, and support each other along the way.
AI on Tap is an initiative of Proof to Production, a community dedicated to helping business leaders share practical AI stories from the frontlines – no theory, just results.
