NSLondon 2026.4 at Ford × University of Staffordshire London

Join us for our next NSLondon hosted by Ford at their neighbour The University of Staffordshire's London campus. We have two great talks lined up, plus time to chat and meet others in the community. We can’t wait to see you there! Space is limited, so RSVP early to secure your spot. If your plans change so you can’t make it, update your RSVP so others can attend. 💬 **Talks**: **Vlad Alexeev** — *“Remote Code Signing on Apple Platforms”* Code signing is essential for Apple platforms, but it raises a critical question: how do we ensure our private keys never leak? In this talk, I’ll share our journey to solving this challenge by implementing remote code signing using Apple’s CryptoTokenKit framework. **Matvei Novoselov** — *“Business Use Cases for visionOS”* visionOS is often associated with gaming and futuristic demos, but real companies are already using spatial computing to solve practical business problems. This talk explores production-ready applications across retail, real estate, healthcare, and manufacturing, focusing on what actually works outside the hype. 🕓 **Schedule**: 6:30 PM Arrival and check-in at reception. Food and drink will be provided. 7:00 PM Presentations start 9:00 PM Continue the conversation at [Four Quarters](https://fourquarters.bar/location/hackney-wick/) **Check-in Process**: Arrive at 6:30 PM to complete the check-in process at our reception.

Product London with Lebara.

Hello All, Hope you're all well and have been enjoying the sunshine! Product London returns on 16th September from 5.30pm, this time hosted by Lebara! **Address**: 5th Floor, Broadwalk House, 5 Appold St, London EC2A 2DA Three talks across the evening: **Talk 1**: **Chris Miles** (Group Head of Conversational Products at Lebara) with '**The AI Product Playbook**' **Synopsis**: Most AI products chase the technology first and the customer problem second. This talk offers five practical principles for building AI products people actually use, drawn from lived experience. **Talk 2**: **Lee Cross** (Growth Advisor - Lebara Travel eSIM ) with '**The Product Delivery Trap - Why product teams become delivery machines instead of growth engines - and how to escape**' **Synopsis**: Too often, product teams quietly become delivery machines and focus becomes shipping features, closing tickets, hitting sprint goals, while the business stops growing. It's the most expensive mistake in product, and the current rush to merge product into engineering is making it worse. This talk will make the case that product is, and always has been a commercial discipline, not a technical one. Its job is to find where the growth is, prove it, and drive a business toward it. Drawn from launching and scaling real businesses, it's a challenge to how most teams are being run - and a practical way out of the trap. **Talk 3**: **Nora Bereczkei** (Director & Tribe Lead, Platform Foundations at Gousto) with '**Platform Product Management: Same Craft, Different Users: Discovering, Building and Launching Internal Products and Platforms**' **Synopsis**: Platform product management uses the same craft as any other product role: real discovery, hard prioritisation calls, and a launch that earns its audience. The difference comes down to who that audience is, nothing more. There is no paying customer and no revenue signal, only internal teams deciding whether to trust what you built. Get the fundamentals right, and the leverage compounds, because every team downstream inherits the win without repeating any of the work themselves. This talk sets out a simple rule for that gap: ask the team directly, rather than guess what they need, and measure success by what the rest of the organisation can now do because the platform exists. Expect a practical walkthrough of discovery, build and launch for internal platforms, plus the handful of ways the job differs from building for an external customer. Pizza and Refreshments will be provided! Looking forward to see you there! Alex

Grafana & Friends London: Autumn edition

We’re back for our autumn meetup edition, and this time we’re taking Grafana beyond the usual dashboards to track aircraft overhead in real time (and more). Join us for an evening of surprising ideas, live data, and a talk you will not want to miss! Speakers: * **Simon Prickett, Senior Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs** * **Martin Costello, Staff Software Engineer at Grafana Labs** **18:00 - 18:30:** Arrivals and food 🍕 **18:30 - 20:10 Main talks** 1. **Aircraft Tracking with Grafana and Redis by Simon Prickett** Most people think of Grafana as the go to solution for monitoring Kubernetes clusters, databases, and application metrics. In this talk, I'll use it for something completely different: tracking aircraft flying overhead in real time using a Raspberry Pi, a software-defined radio, and publicly broadcast ADS-B signals. Starting with an empty database, we'll pull data out of the air during the session and see what we can learn about the local airspace. What could possibly go wrong? 2. **Making Your First Open Source Contribution by** **Martin Costello** A lot of people are enthusiastic to contribute to an open source project, but can feel intimidated and overwhelmed by where to start and how to propose a change. In this talk I'll offer tips from 13 years of experience contributing to open source projects on what makes a good first contribution (spoilers: not just a new feature!) and how to structure your first PR to maximise the chances of it being accepted, particularly in this new age of AI agents. Maybe this could be the first step on your open source journey? **20:10-20:30 -** lightning talk slot. **This could be you - contact us if you'd like to speak about a Grafana use case, or show us your dashboard.** ### 📸 Important Information * **Photography & Media**: Photos and videos may be taken during the event.

SOLD OUT • ZINE MAKING with LESS STRESS PRESS: cultivate creativity

This event is full. Join the **[WAITLIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/waitlistlessstresspress)** and we'll let you know if a place becomes available. A special event to share the creative practice of zine making 💭✍️✂️🎨📖 IN A NUTSHELL, zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. You will soon be able to see some of their zines [here](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress). They’re excited to share with you! **IN THIS WORKSHOP, we will:** * Introduce the practice * Share some examples: brief history of zine making, LessStressPress examples * Get to know each other’s interests * Brainstorm using collage and scribbles: get into a low stakes, creative headspace * Use a template to plot our zines: 2 covers and 6 pages of content * Design our first zines (everything is possible with analogue materials, but if you love digital design, bring a laptop) * Sharing circle * **Optional finale:** * Visit the print shop visit together * Print copies of our new zines * LESS STRESS PRESS Pop Up: hand out copies of our new zines to strangers :-) **BY THE END OF THE DAY, we'll have** * learned a new practice to spark creativity and clarify thinking * met a new group of people and learned about the things they care enough to make a zine about * had some thought provoking conversations * produced our own original zines, ready to share :-) **NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:** Although we’ll be learning a new practice we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable day, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a relaxed hang out in a café with an additional creative twist. **WHO SHOULD COME:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to develop and communicate ideas. **WHERE WE'LL MEET:** We'll be meeting in a beautiful little creative studio in Stoke Newington. The exact address will be provided to attendees directly. **[SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/)** \- newsletter and reflections **[WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DcSICl49X509EFdGBo3hKg)** \- stay in the loop **[INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress)** \- see what we look like \(content coming soon 😅\) **[WEBSITE](http://www.alltogether.one/)** \- everything else **#creativity #inclusivity #openmindedness #creativepractices #community #newskills #zinemaking**
