​This event is organised by Projector Institute ambassadors together with Lighthouse. Projector — online institute for independent education in your profession.About the Event ​The gap between AI capability and compelling user experience is where most products die. It's not enough to integrate an LLM you need to fundamentally rethink interaction patterns, information architecture, and user mental models. ​While thousands of AI products launch weekly, only a handful break through the noise. The difference isn't better models or more data it's design systems that turn raw AI capability into experiences users can't live without. ​This panel explores the frameworks that separate billion dollar AI companies from feature factories. You'll dive deep into the design decisions that create defensible AI experiences, the interaction patterns that actually work, and the strategic thinking that turns AI experiments into market defining products. ​Expect tactical insights on building AI native e...

Data Systems for AI: Multimodal Madness ​Why traditional data tools fall short in the AI era ​While traditional tools excel at structured tabular data, they crumble when faced with today’s multimodal workloads that span images, videos, embeddings, documents, and complex structures. According to Google Cloud’s 2024 Data and AI Trends report, 66% of organizations report that at least half of their enterprise data remains unused. Why? Because existing infrastructure was not built for this multimodal reality. ​Do you… • ​Struggle with multimodal ETL pipelines that span structured and unstructured data? • ​Want to eliminate the complexity of managing separate tools for different data types? • ​Need to scale beyond what traditional distributed computing frameworks can handle? • ​Want to build AI/ML infra for computer vision, NLP, multimodal, or agentic AI applications? ​If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this meetup is for you! ​Join us for an exclusive panel featuring ...

​The future of money is inextricably tied to the future of payments. ​So will the future of payments be bitcoin? Or will it be stablecoins? ​Two divergent futures present themselves. ​How do each improve upon fiat payment rails? What are their relative trust assumptions? Fee considerations? User experience implications? ​In this evening session, we will hear both sides of the story from industry experts. And then we’ll break up into small groups to weigh up both visions for the path ahead to see if and how design thinking can help us identify weaknesses, make improvements and ultimately decide which version of the future we should want to help bring to life.
