SUMMARY:Serendipity Table
DESCRIPTION:What if your next breakthrough came from a conversation with a stranger? \nThe Serendipity Table is an invitation to sit down\, slow down\, and talk – with someone you’ve never met. Or it’s an opportunity for a deeper conversation with an existing connection. Inspired by David Cleevely’s book Serendipity\, which explores how seemingly random connections are shaped by weak ties and the right environment\, the Table is a simple experiment in engineering those conditions here at The Glasshouse. \nThis isn’t networking. There’s no pitch\, no agenda\, no business cards required. Just a seat at a table\, willing conversationalists\, and whatever happens next. \nThe Serendipity Table is a collaboration with CAMentrepreneurs. Each Friday\, book one of the hourly slots and pull up a chair – up to four places are available per hour. There are no rules\, only curiosity. \nWho will you meet? \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:The Bootstrappers Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:The Bootstrappers’ Breakfasts™ is a national series for female founders building their first £1M without external investment and Cambridge\, home to one of the UK’s most concentrated innovation ecosystems\, is where it starts. \nYou’ll be sitting in front of women who have done it: past £1M\, past £5M\, past £200M. Founders who built without a term sheet\, in the same ecosystem you’re building in now. \nEach Breakfast names the Bargain most female founders have been making without realising and gives you the language\, and the room\, to claim what you have already paid for. \nNo pitching. No networking theatre. Just women who have built\, talking to women who are building.

SUMMARY:Realising the real value of AI: How companies in the East of England can make AI work for them
DESCRIPTION:AI is transforming organisations across industries\, and every day headlines hype utopian and dystopian visions of the future of work. However\, many companies struggle to generate tangible value from it\, and wonder where to focus\, what to build\, and how to be the rulers of their own destiny. \nThis event is for leaders who are serious about the fact that people are their greatest asset. We’ll explore the relationship between people and AI\, and what it means for business strategy. We’ll also hear from company leaders Tom Diethe\, Head of the Centre of Artificial Intelligence at AstraZeneca\, Katy Davies MD of Cap Air Systems and Alex Tunbridge\, CEO of Cambridge United about how they have leveraged AI to make it work for them. \nJoin us to discuss key topics for businesses today: \n• Understand how to know if your team is ready\, and how to equip them with the right skills and tools to be successful. What are your competitors doing? What are investors looking at? \n• Reimagine what’s possible with this new technology\, looking beyond automation to what can be a step change in value creation that wouldn’t be possible without AI \n• Co-design to define solutions with the people who will be using them. Where and how can you use AI so it works for your team and increases job satisfaction and bottom line? \n• Evolve to keep up in this fast-paced environment. What sort of mindset and conditions do you need for constant innovation? \nSpaces are limited\, so please register your interest today.

SUMMARY:Data Preparation and Fine Tuning for Small language Models with AWS
DESCRIPTION:Not every job needs a large frontier model. A small model\, fine-tuned on your own data\, can outperform larger ones on specific tasks at a fraction of the cost and latency\, whilst helping you to retain the edge your competitors can’t copy – your data. \n​This workshop will take you through implementing an end-to-end pipeline for fine-tuning a small LM (Llama 3.2 3B) to generate SQL queries from natural language using Amazon SageMaker’s serverless training and evaluation APIs. You’ll learn how to extract real user queries from an RDS PostgreSQL instance\, clean and format them into training data; and then use the Notebook to orchestrates dataset registration\, LoRA-based SFT training\, and custom Lambda-based evaluation with MLflow experiment tracking. \nBring your laptop\, and you’ll leave with a repeatable pipeline you can point at your own use case. \n12.00pm Lunch & Welcome \n12.30-12.40: Kick off and Overview \n12.40-2.20: Workshop Part 1 \n2.20-2.30: Break \n2.30-4.15: Workshop Part 2 \n4.15-4.30: Wrap up \nPlease note this event is targeted at startup builders and developers who already have some background knowledge of working with AI models. Attendance size will be strictly capped to ensure a quality experience for those who join.
